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.
In Germany it was called the SS.
If the states are receiving federal funds they are being paid to help with immigration…. aren’t they?
Hell, going back 20-25 years, the local INS offices, would tell you to “take them down the road, and make them someone else’s problem!” …would even consider taking them.
Go for it.
Who comes into contact with them more than local law enforcement? I don’t have a problem with them handling it until ICE shows up.
I don’t believe he has too. Don’t they have jurisdiction to enforce federal law in their jurisdiction? Or did Obama take that away too?
Agreed. Do it.
Lol hallarious.. Good luck trump.
Steve Harris you are so right that is exactly what he said. Wait until these MS-13 gangs come into your home and take all of you electronics, guns, jewelry and money and then spray their gang signs all over your walls, like they did in my brother’s home when he was in the hospital. This gang is notorious and they are throughout the United States and they have over 70,000 members. (Look it up on google) So you don’t think these illegals are dangerous? You better think again.
I just can’t wrap my head around why some folks refuse to accept the fact that illegal is breaking the law. ?!?!!?
