For example, do you think it's NEVER happened before that an immigration officer discovered some latina was illegal and blackmailed her to either fuck him or he'd send her back? This stuff happened long before these new laws.

As for crime rising, that will happen, as illegals will both not be as afraid to commit them as well as not report them happening to them. However, that's short-term *IF* in fact millions eventually do get sent home. The ones causing crime and not reporting it will no longer exist in America (again, big *IF* enforced properly) and thus that crime will drop.

As for this guy being good in reporting a cop, you don't know the guy. What if he is in fact a criminal himself? What if he beats his GF at home? You can't judge him by the fact he stopped this incident.
All good points, except the last one. We can judge him, because if that dude had a history it would be the first thing in the headline. "WANTED ILLEGAL FELON CAUGHT" is what it would've said. I have no doubt they got this guy's history back to before he was born sitting in a nice thick file. Especially with a cop going down for it.
