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.
So when are all of you leaving?? If I remember correctly this land belonged to the natives and the southwest belonged to Mexico. So technically the only illegals here are anyone other than them
The Federal Government has a responsibility to protect international Borders
If a State rejects Federal immigration law, are they not endangering the rest if the nation?
And isn’t it the Federal Govts responsibility to ensure safety?
States that do so should lose all Federal Funding immediately

He’s going to do his Job.
The number one responsibility of Government is the protection of its people.
Help or get out of the way.
Freedom was made for righteous people, and federal support is made for righteous state governments.
Time to look at what punishing states looks like, for endangering the nation.
When Obama said no more refugees from Cuba, where were the riots???
This is going a little to far!! The next step will be Martial Law!! There is no need for this!!
I agree Ira!! But it is not quite Martial Law yet, but it is the first step!!
Spoke to a staff member at Baxterville school. They are all safe there.
I believe that’s the idea… with your last statement.
This is great for police officers that will not uphold the law like in both inauguration riot and UC Berkeley. Those police officers were told to stand down.
Trump is so smart! ❤️
