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.
Walt what the hell are you thinking?
Good
Excellent idea!
Making all police federal police. Responsible to him and not the state, county, or city. First step in creating dictator country. Trying to destroy balance of power.
Not on any oath will anyone follow his instructions..
Just repair the system….
Mark Coultas, totally agree!
There are other ways to motivate local government and law enforcement to enforce the laws that are already on the books.
Somehow go after George Soros for one. Arrest and bring felony charges against the rioters and heavy fines for the destruction of public and private property. Bring the fight to these politicians through primaries and impeachment if necessary for violations of the public trust. Everything these rioters and “undocumented immigrants” are doing is already against the law. Enforce the law. We have no need for a ton of new laws.
Oh and for those who are offended… notice I didn’t say protesters were breaking the law. Only the rioters.
They would remove the chip. Build that Wall!
Anything “goes” nowadays. I say do whatever it takes to stop those monsters!
