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.
Spot on!
Yes n no n be careful!
We do have to be careful with this…..
Amen
Everyone loved previous presidents who didn’t enforce immigration laws. That way people felt good themselves and didn’t care about the economic and social impact of unabated illegal immigration.
Concerned over how much power this would give the police and if it could turn onto police state. I have no problem with arresting people here that is not suppose to be here
This is already a federal law. Now all we have to do is to enforce it. The people that entered this country illegally are breaking our laws and should be arrested and deported. We need to get the criminal element out first and them the rest. If you are illegal and have been here for years, Why have you NOT filed for citizenship?? You want to stay here and you have broken no laws talk to a lawyer now and follow up on becoming an American. If you don’t want to do anything about your problem, don’t go crying about how unfair this is.
The law must be enforced and upheld! We are neither a nation nor a society if we don’t enforce our own laws.
Well geezes, guy policemen…..I’ve never had a cop stop me who did not ask for I.D……….. Has that changed?
Lord cover Our President with your Protection. And God keep all our Men in Blue safe.
