As the debate over President Trump’s immigration policy and initiatives grows, so does his apparent determination to see his campaign promises put into action. The left, as expected, is in a fit of self-righteous rage over the efforts being made to curtail illegal immigration and remove illegals from the US, especially those who have committed crimes. However, also as expected, Mr. Trump is not backing down in the face of such resistance to the enforcement of the law, but is doubling-down.
The possibility of federal over-reach is a concern, especially in matters of law enforcement. Most crimes are of a local nature, and as such are the proper responsibility of state and local law enforcement. Injecting federal authorities into local matters is seldom a good idea no matter how it appealing it might be at the time. Hence, those who love liberty should be concerned when they see anything that appears to move towards the federalization of the state and local police.
All of this said, we are in anything but a normal environment. Cities and states are in active rebellion against established federal laws regarding immigration, and are harboring illegals in an effort to thwart their deportation. It’s an outrageous situation, so it comes as little surprise that the solution being implemented is somewhat unconventional. More on page two.
Most of them are going nowhere if you check this started years ago by the rich to get cheap labor. It’s still that way and it belongs to both parties.
Trumps a genius. This is a spectacular idea. Laws will be enforced!
You are all illegal aliens . get a passport and go back to home your country.
Not sure I like this idea. Change the law and prosecute those that don’t comply.
Whatever it takes to rid our nation of liberals, the new communism
He is targeting criminals. If your in this nation illegally, your a criminal
Thats funny Brian. Because that is not what Trump said on the past.
The system that’s in place isn’t following the law, time to step in
Unconstitutional!!!
Y’all had a tirant the last 8 years and said nor did anything. Now when someone steps in and starts taking care of business you$#%&!@*about it. Maybe you can take in 4 or 5 families if you are so supportive of illegals. Your dime, not ours. Then see what your reactions are.
