No, vesta. DUmpdick refused to enforce the immigration laws.
I could not get your link to work, but from the information you did send, I can see his point.
The police have their hands full with citizen crimes and simply have no way to enforce and also do the job of another agency ICE.
Police in a small town in Maine or New Hampshire tried that, they began to arrest illegals for trespassing and ICE would not go along with them.
There is simply no way police can take over a job that is not part of their job description. Like it or not, he is correct that town courts and jails would be full to the brim and then, what after being found guilty, the sheriff has no authority to have the criminals deported.
This is a job for ICE and the Federal Courts to handle. I have never heard of any government agency expecting civilian police to handle any crime that has a Federal Crime name to it. Bank robbery, bombing or threats, the Man Act etc send in the FBI and they take control of the case.
It is a bag of worms Alpha, in Mass. ICE raided a factory and rounded up close to 100 illegals working there. Now the problems came in, most of the workers were woman with Anchor baby's. One could on the face of it deport the woman, but their children were American citizens and could not be deported. Who with any decency separates a child from their mother especially infants and toddlers.? What kind of mother would take home to a land of mass murders their children.?
We have come to a point where our Government must fish or cut bait. The anchor baby's law has to go give the citizenship of the mother to the child.
The Government cannot stand by while any state is invaded by people from another country and tell the freaking sheriff,' this is your problem, handle it.
