Veteran Arizona state cop resigns after discovered to be illegal immigrant

If she didn't know, she didn't know. Give me a fucking break.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. If I think a car is mine and I've locked my keys inside and I'm trying to jimmy the lock and a cop sees it, he's not going to accept "I didn't know I was breaking the law, I thought it was mine." Until here recently if I was concealed carrying and printed without knowing it, that wasn't a defense, I still get popped. The guy down in Temple carrying an AR in the hills on a Boy Scouts trip broke no laws but was arrested.

Tell me again how sympathetic I should be because she was a cop.

So she hasn't spent decades violating the law, not just her but her family as well? And she didn't hold others to the standard of the law and carry the authority of a badge and firearm while being a law violator herself?

Hypocrites piss me off.

I digress - I don't have the answer, but technically speaking she is in the wrong at this point still. What is the proposed solution otherwise?

agreed, but life isnt black and white. zero tolerance is just an excuse to not have to think.

god bless.

but i think you generally dont need your mom to tell you that you are drunk.

god bless.

Mother f'er.... Even though *I* mentioned it - I somehow glossed over...

Figueroa may have used a fake or forged birth certificate, the station reported, but officials said that she was likely told that she was born in this country by her mother.
"We believe the affidavit and information she gave us at the time. And, she was under the impression that she herself was an American citizen," Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves told KVOA.

I can't understand the logic. It's a crime/illegal. There are plenty of otherwise good people who get busted all the time for DUIs and other items. If we don't support them being let go, for otherwise being good people - why make an exception here?

seems like she was/is a contributing member of american society. I'd rather have a million of those than one welfare sucking shitbag.

god bless.

No, she's a federal criminal! Deport her, and remove her legs! Release everyone she busted comitting crimes! Rabble rabble, veterans, rabble rabble, obama amnesty, rabble rabble, 'muricuh!

Good to see the regular extremists aren't being extreme or anything.

oh, wait, nevermind.

I think stepping down is the right thing to do obviously. Criminal prosecution is not the right thing if she truely did not know and had the paperwork her mother provided her as a child. That's just not right and i will assume the cupable mental state is not going to be enough for any type of criminal prosecution either. It seams to me that she was not intent on frauding the state it was actually her that was duped by momma.

Understand, that's the only way *I* would be nice about it. It was not mentioned anywhere that I noticed.

And yet she is still actively committing a crime, at this very second and has since the day she got here. That's decades of actively engaging in a federal crime.
