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.
Why stop with police, swear in loyal civilians with rights as defensively armed bounty hunters, whose activities are restricted by well defined apprehension criteria.
Deputize them all! Tired of all the PC c**p!
F**e news, there is no such executive orders and state or local peace officers with statutory arrest powers don’t need to be deputized to enforce federal laws.
The farms are not going away.
Protecting our borders is a federal responsibility
The problem comes from the indefinite detention of people not charged with a crime in local jails. If the Feds had been picking up these prisoners they wouldn’t be cut loose in the first place. It puts the local population under higher taxes with dubious legal ramifications of holding prisoners without charges.
Love our President Trump
Well since liberals and democrats won’t help, proof is democratic senator Deleon of California who bragged that half his family is here illegally, using false papers, he needs all the help he can get to protect all of us!
Bahahaha
Does not need to deputize
