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.
I love it. Go President Trump!
You are exactly right
But now we are back following the law!!
Getting the feds to override and intimidate the local city authorities via the DOJ was okay with libs and lefties but now that someone wants the LAW to be enforced, this is a bad thing? How does that work? I say keep it up and stop the funding if they don’t enforce the law.
The 287(g) program. The training is conducted in Charleston, SC.
Yes
You people do realize the ruckus by the left has nothing to do with illegals and everything to do with an unconditional travel ban. As soon as they allowed minority religions to travel freely from those countries the ban became unconditional.
Do what it takes but start by arresting governors, mayors, police chiefs and politicians that won’t obey federal laws!
I wish he’ll try to not happening.
First to much government now you want it to enforce.
