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.

Darrell Burchett we don’t need no stinking ovens, we’ll just have them move in with you!!
State and local police and sheriffs need to be required to capture and hold all illegals they encounter, based on their illegal status alone. And need to be reimbursed expenses including additional temporary deputies. Get some busses running regular areas picking up and delivering people to federal authorities. Jails should be paid a set amount per inmate when they are picked up, based on the number of days held, so that departments don’t have to wait for reimbursement. Any and all assistance checks that the people may have been receiving need to be stopped and redirected to pay deportation expenses. Anyone who gives themselves up for deportation gets a free ride back to their country and preference for immigration assuming they have no criminal history other than their illegal stay in our country.
People you make it sound like only democrats hire illegals. I know many republicans who hire them because labor is cheap. Trump himself and several other well know poloticians have used them for hoyse cleaning, nannies and Trump used them to build his hotels. He brings workers in frim centeral america to work at his hotels and casino’s instead if hiring Americans. Those jobs are suppimise to go to Americans first and then if the skills aren’t available they can bring in foreign workers. Sorry maids and bussers would never come under that visa type
