Not only are they here in violation of our laws, border, and sovereignty (three ways of saying the same thing), they are then violating laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.

More than 30 illegal immigrants who work as security guards face weapons charges, Dallas police said. Police teamed up with state and federal agents for the joint operation, which aimed to identify armed and unarmed security officers who were in the country illegally.

The people arrested face weapons charges, because it is illegal for non-citizens to carry or own guns.

The investigation targeted 26 Dallas-based businesses, most of which were nightclubs.

Now I am not sure what the laws are in this state for security guards, but I know that ARMED security guards have required licenses (and not just carry permits) in other states where i have lived. Part of that has required weapons testing by local law enforcement personnel at a law enforcement firing range. If anything remotely similar is the case here in Texas, it strikes me that we have a much bigger problem than armed illegals -- we may have local law enforcement granting licenses to violate the law to illegal immigrants. This matter needs a much closer look.
