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.
Ugh
Let’s pray that as President Trump tries to protect America, those who oppose him will be the ones to have to deal with any unrest brought on by anyone wanting to do us harm. In other words, let our law officials who are doing their jobs find those who want to harm us before they can follow through.
Great job President Trump
This has been out there for a number of days, hasn’t happened yet. So what the heck truth and action?
Dangerous precident being set im for working within the framework that exists now
Give em hell Mr. President !!
F**e news. Simply not true
One thing needs to be considered in this discussion…Police and Sheriffs have DIFFERENT mandates. Sheriffs have much broader powers and do not report to politicians (ie Mayors and councils). Within their JURISDICTION Sheriffs are the ultimate law enforcement as they are elected by the people not appointed/hired. They are subject to recall but not firing
Need help call me be glad to lend a hand
Roger it appears to me that ICE/ Federal Government is the problem . Why not use the program that was available that trained local law enforcement to recognize illegals. Then have ICE do their jobs and remove the criminals. Without ever having to be deputized. I think the thing I have a problem with is making local police federal agents! When that is not needed and is a very dangerous path to go down. InLibertyDan
