Recently, Judge Bolton ruled on Prop100.
Well, I consider it a big win! It’s not that bail is being denied merely because the suspect is in the country illegally (or suspected of being in the country illegally) it is because they are being CHARGED with a Class 4 (or higher) Felony! Not a misdemeanor, a felony! Why should they NOT be denied bail?
Regardless of immigration status, there are other charges where the suspect would be denied bail. It’s something that was ruled upon with our legislature. I don’t hear them claiming their rights are being violated.
I am a firm/strong believer in “you do the crime, you do the time.” If you don’t want your bail denied, 1) don’t come here illegally, and 2) don’t commit a crime that is non-bondable (meaning they cannot get out on bail) Or better yet, don’t commit any crime at all.
What do you think? Is this a step in the right direction or do you think their rights are being violated? The judge ruled on 5 out of the 6 claims. The last claim to have a ruling is that this PROP violates the suspect’s right to self-incrimination (which honestly, I have no idea how it would). If you have some idea, please share.
I am ALL for emigration (yes, I meant to spell it that way ~ it’s different than immigration). No one says you have to LOSE your culture or your identity. The US is a melting pot of ethnicities. But do it the right way, do it legally….if you do, then you will have 200% of my support. Do it the wrong way, and I will be the first to turn you in.
