but local and state governments have the power to say otherwise.

LOL! The Senate of the State of California just passed a resolution EMBRACING the illegal immigrants!

Yeah, they have the power, but it is being used against us, not the mexicans.

This is where History will record the start of the Fall of America.

What can a local deputy or officer do to enforce federal immigration law? They can arrest you on other federal offenses and turn you over to federal prosecutors, right? For example, the Florida Highway Patrols mission statement states: "To promote in a courteous manner a safe driving environment through aggressive law enforcement, public education, and safety awareness; reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes in Florida, preserve and protect human life, property and the rights of all people in accordance with the constitutions and laws of the United States and the State of Florida; design and implement prevention strategies and aggressively enforce DUI laws and other violations identified as crash causation factors."

Would the aforementioned United States laws included immigration laws? Any attorneys out there?

Remember, the law is on the side of the American citizen.

No it's not. Foreign invaders are law-exempt. Just ask our politicians. Right now they're making a list of all the crimes illegals can be excused for in the amnesty bill........er........I mean "workers program." (Sorry about that little slip up. I almost forgot the talking points)
