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.
Thank you for serving.
Good
Paid to enforce “the law” just not laws that offend?
This says it
What is so damn complicated? Find them hold them and bus them north or south. Have facilities where you can pull up open the door and if need be move them through the facility where they are identified recorded photographed and the last door opens into Mexico or canada.
I’m not sure I want the gov to take control of the state…don’t that keep our state from having it’s own choices?
You are absolutely correct Walt Henderson..but you’re being made great….are ya feeling your rights slipping away
What really freaks me out about this entire thing is, there is NOTHING in our constitution that strictly prohibits our gov’t from closing down our boarders to protect us from a foreign invasion, which is exactly what all these illegal immigrants are, they are a foreign invasion… Funny, I thought the government had an obligation to protect its citizens, but what do I know?
“It’s against the law to have federal police”
Then what does the F in FBI stand for?
I thought Obama overreached.
Federal Police!!!
Even for Trump supporters this should raise some RED flags to full mast.
A Clear and Present Danger to the Republic.
