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.
The thing is do you know how many illegal criminals there are ??? A Bunch we are going to need help other than the local police force . Trump said he is going after the criminals first and get them out for good then he said they will have a plan for those here illegally to leave and comeback the legal way but he did say they will have to go back do the paperwork and come back and become citizens
So Steve…1 in 30 people are undocumented, and working….grunt construction and agriculture. Do you propose we deport all these people?
The easiest way to send illegals of all races home is to cut off the free stuff. There now is to many for jails or police to deport not to mention the cost. Americans are tired of footing the bills just to find out they are treated like second class citizen’s
Ok start checking id’s at these protests. Oh, and hey, bring a bus!
This has to be done in order to insure safety and security as well as the economy of this Country.
Why did you have to let them go? Didn’t you just say you were responsible for upholding the law? Illegal entry is against the law?
That makes no sense. Why can’t you arrest them for being undocumented. You would arrest an American citizen if they didn’t give proper ID. What kind of law enforcement do we have here?
Hog wash
About time
The Citizens need to file a lawsuit against anyone who won’t enforce our laws that are in government offices. Federal and State. We need a good law firm to take it on. And a Federal Judge who goes by our book of laws.
