Of course law enforcement has to be taken seriously, but again, are you going to leave it up to each individual officer to determine what establishes "credibility"? How should our border patrol act in order to be taken seriously? I'm betting Rush Limbaugh and Tom Tancredo have a much different idea as to what needs to be done than Luis Gutierrez or other Hispanic lawmakers.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
