My great grandmother used to talk about calling out the local militia for all sorts of natural disasters and other events. People used to be able to care for themselves.
If our political leaders did something about deporting the illegals and closing the border, I have a feeling that there would be a mass migration from Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon back to Southern California. Everybody that's been chased out over the past 20 years might be very tempted to return.
And, with the influx of patriotic conservatives, we might be able to elect a real Republican as governor, again.
When it comes down to it, solving the border problem would do so much for our country. That's why it's so dangerous to our party if we cede this issue to some opportunistic Democrat or third-party candidate.
Much gentler measures would do the job. What about making employers liable for underpaying the illegal workers and for the school/medical costs?
One could make the just amnesty - you report to the immigration and you get the green card plus nice compensation and bonus with employer reimbursing the state?
The illegal immigration would stop even faster!
Because the Mexican government make it so difficult to start a LEGAL business. Permits of all kinds needed, with graft and bribes demanded for each permit. For all practical purposes, property rights don't exist, except for those rich enough to hire their own private army. Mexico is a socialist state, and private businesses really aren't wanted.
Make employers to foot the bill and reward whistleblowers. Give amnesty/green card plus compensation for underpaid wages to the illegal workers who come forward.
Last night, on either side of my house, there were two competing parties both with the requisite pinatas, lots of booze and LOUD music. I finally called the cops.
Now I'm left waiting to see if there will be any retaliation for my actions. Perhaps another graffiti job on the front of my place.
Yeah I knew that I just didn't want to give the scum bags the dignity of a name. In my opionion there should be a bounty on their tattooed heads!!! Hell if it was five bucks and legitimate I would collect a few.
Sounds like a great idea. However, the employers have enough money from paying the substandard wages to the migrant workers that the lawyers that they hire would ensure that all of the twists and turns in the laws that we see now would tie up the court system even further.
RICO laws could be applied - they would pay first all costs and then hire lawyers to recover something. If RICO is good against pro-life protests, why not to use it to protect illegal workers from exploitation?
Local police agencies moving to enforce crime laws.
The article title implies that immigration law will be enforced by local authorities. The article is about enforcement in regards to crime committed by illegals.
Bump!
It is against the Law for anyone (for whatever reason) to enter into this Nation without the approval of the United States Government...and only at specific spots.
..and yet you seem to not care that the Law is broken...only that you will not have to clean your own toilet.
Why???

And help bust budgets via privatized profits and socialized costs. If they created wealth why didn't they do it Mexico?
Amen brother.
Your next step might be federal civil rights if they let slip one gringo or los negros comment your way.
A few years back now, a guy approached me on my street. He said he was "visiting" from Venezuela. You bet! Turns out he wanted to chat me up about the changes in my once-nice neighborhood. He said he'd been here 10 years earlier and it was all American. Then he said "Now you can't find an American!" I pointed out that he just found one, and he feigned surprise that I lived in the area. Arrogant. little. banty. rooster.
I'm in Los Angeles and the L.A.P.D. told me that something racist has to be there before they would even consider going out to look at some piece of "multicultural art work".
You can go to the station and file a vandalism report, but they said that report just becomes "one more piece of paper". And just to add insult to injury, it is the responsibility of the property owner to promptly remove/paint over any graffiti or they can be fined.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
machismo: a rooster who is all feathers and no cock-a-doodle-do.
