PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - The sheriff's department has developed a remarkably effective — and controversial — way of catching illegal immigrants: Deputies in patrol cars pull up to a construction site in force, and watch and see who runs. Those who take off are chased down and arrested on charges such as trespassing, for cutting through someone else's property, or loitering, for hiding out in someone's yard, or reckless driving, for speeding off in a car. U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally. "It's not wrong for them to run, but it's not wrong for us to chase them either," said Sheriff Frank McKeithen, who created his Illegal Alien Task Force in April to target construction sites in this Florida Panhandle county.

I'd say good on them.
Sometimes thinking outside the box brings you right back to common sense.

But now that everyone knows the police's tactics, the illegals might get smart and not run.

Well, if this information gets too public, they'll learn not to run when they see police cars. It's a great tactic though!

Put if they don't run i'm sure they can just start asking for greencards or what not.

That has lawsuit written all over it these days. I'm willing to bet the first
legal immigrant they asked for a green card would file a harassment suit based on racial profiling.
