Responding to Crimes Committed by Aliens

Excerpt:  “In some instances, the federal government can employ the same plenary legislative authority that the states possess to regulate private conduct through criminal law. Congress can and should pass a statute paralleling the Federal Assimilative Crimes Act that incorporates the state criminal law in the case of aliens. This would enable federal immigration agents to arrest aliens for any state-law ‘street’ crimes and hold them for deportation.”
