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.
Yes, but when local police refuse to enforce the laws, what then? Google Garden City, Kansas. The chief of police refuses to enforce immigration laws….unless the undocumented immigrant commits a felony. Believe it or not we have a multitude of Law Enforcement Agencies refusing to enforce our laws.
This is not a good idea!! Even though it sounds good & is a solution.it goes against our Constitution and is the #1 reason why we came to this country. Tell Trump no we don’t want troops,tanks,deputies in our streets
Giving local law enforcement federal power is a step toward martial law if you ask me…..
I support Trump but not this& ice,DHS,FEMA agents are a bunch of criminals & I want to see those departments gone
Jerry Erb That’s b******t! The police should arrest him and then you bring him in front of a court for attempted murder and rape! That person is remanded and if that person is found guilty they go to jail and when they get out they are deported under multiple felony charges! Your b******t only goes so far! Alternative facts again!
Kirk Mannor He has doesn’t$#%&!@*yet! He’s all Talk and no action! He makes up his own laws! The guys a narcissistic hump and the Trumpeters are morons as well!
Maybe if you went to Law School you would understand that you can’t do that! Those sunglasses are perfect for you when you get drafted for another war in the Middle East!
This is such b******t! Are you people that stupid! Don’t you get it that they don’t want you to focus on the real problem and that is your rites are being taken away such as voting, EPA, education and freedom of speech!
Wouldn’t need to be drafted, I would be recalled. Maybe if I can come up with the free time I will go to law school just to see how broken, corrupt, wastefull it is.
For what reason would anyone ever be for illegal people coming into our country. That makes no sense at all.. people are ill legal when they break into your house but not our.Hum..
