"R.I. troopers embrace firm immigration role"
This shows that the country is quite mixed up when it comes to administering/policing illegal immigrants...
Maria Sacchetti recently reported at Boston.com:
"The trooper pulled up, stepped out of his cruiser, and asked one of the drivers for his license.
The man said he did not have a license, and under questioning, confessed that he was here illegally from Guatemala.
If the accident had happened 15 miles north in Massachusetts, the man would probably have been arrested for driving without a license, which carries a fine of up to $1,000 and 10 days in jail, then released pending an appearance in district court.
But in Rhode Island, illegal immigrants face a far greater penalty: deportation."
