"First, this is an unfunded mandate."

The cities, states, counties that have instituted tough new regimes against ilegals are funding it themselves, to counter lackluster efforts from the Feds.
You see they are looking at the huge savings they are getting from all the money they now don't have to spend on the health, education etc of illegals.

" Catching a couple of illegals is cute. Going after 20 million is an abortion, and few police chiefs will carry the feds water for them."

Every county, city, state, have local law enforcement.
That adds up to a huge army to use against the illegals.
And these law enforcement people actually know theitr towns.
You should see the tough on llegals police chiefs that have been appearing on Cavutto recently.

" And more and more communities, not just the one or two I have read about will become safe havens. Many have already said so."

Keep right on dreaming
Most town in America are not San Francisco, and there is a post o this borad just today about how San rancisco is goimng broke.
Helping illegals to break the law can affect your bank account.

" Many will open their churches, their schools, their medical facilities, and laugh at the part of 4437 that charges people for aiding illegals."

Again, most churches are very conservative, and strongly agisnt illegals.
Cities that laugh at Federal laws, could find their Federal government funds cut off.
They might not be laughing for too long.
But hey keep right on dreaming.

"What do we want to do, create 50 million felons?"

Its now 50 million is it?
Now why don't we make it a nice 100 million and be done with it.
That sounds like a nice rounded figure. :)
