What if the perpetrator is a citizen?
What if (as is true in many cases) the perpetrator is also an illegal immigrant, but his country of origin does not consider wife beating or rape to be a big deal, if it is a crime at all?
This law is not going to make catching illegal immigrants easier. What it will do is make a few classes of already underreported violent crimes even more underreported.
And that isn't good for any of us.
