Feds: Tasers Only For American Citizens, Not Illegal Aliens
Among the many special privileges granted to those who are in this country illegally: Tasers can't be used to keep them under control. The U.S. Office of Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) has imposed new regulations that ban contracting with local jails that use Tasers on illegals.
Many jails use the nonlethal devices to maintain order — which runs a distant second to sucking up to Mexican invaders in the federal government's priorities. Also, illegals must have a proper bed, instead of just a pad.
Tom Tancredo is outraged:
I think most citizens would think it extremely bizarre for the federal government to say that Tasers must never be used on an illegal alien when their use is legal for citizens. I hope that DRO will pull back from any effort to impose its "Taser rule" on jails operated by local law enforcement.
I also have other questions about the DRO detention standards imposed on local jail facilities. Where in federal law or regulations is it mandated that illegal aliens held in custody must have an assigned "bed" rather than a "pad" when the use of pads is legal for U.S. citizens? Why is there a different standard for the accommodation of illegal aliens than for citizens?
Some counties turn down substantial federal money to avoid the onerous regulations, which would require them to set up separate facilities for the privileged illegal aliens. Others have been forced to release illegal alien criminals due to DRO policies.
The DRO also forbids using dogs to control rioting inmates — if the inmates are illegal aliens. It pays to be special.

I would rather be Tasered than Pepper Sprayed. A five second ride is nothing compared to two hours of absolute hell fire. A Taser is used to keep officers from getting injured during fights. It should never be used for punishment. Although it really really hurts.....it is non-lethal and prevents injury to the suspect. Without it, other tools will be utilized as were before Taser technology. Although I've never been hit over the head with a Baton or Asp, never been shot, nor had my ass kicked by a Cop who was just trying to do their job and stay safe. I have experienced the sorrow of witnessing, via radio transmission, the murdering of a police officer by a dirtbag on Christmas Eve a few years back. I expect that these will be just a few of the many unfortunate consequences that will happen because of this insane policy being perpetrated by complete idiots.

Tom Tancredo- Compassionate Conservative! Maybe he can find another remodeling job around his home and hire illegal workers AGAIN! Let's dig into that story and clarify the past. Tom, you are just another hypocritical Republican.
I thank the Lord that you will be campaigning for a presidential bid and finally leaving our 6th district to someone truthful, believable and worthy of a vote to actually represent us. I can finally say to you, "Thanks!"
