Our police do arrest illegals, our jails are full of them, we are not a sanctuary at all. You said my state needed to enforce the border itself- that is not a state function, the Feds control the border- or not as the case may be. Feds do not want states meddling in their business- even when they can't manage the job. It's not as simple as you think. Being a day's drive from the border is just not the same as being a few minutes walking distance, I can assure you.
Tammy, do they arrest them only for violent crimes or for being illegal?
In CA they arrest them for only violent crimes, which increased the size of the prison population by 50%.
All states have an illegal invader problem. States should enforce the law even when the Fed won't. Not sure what state you are referring to, or which ones are plagued by do-nothing governors who do control the National Guard.
One thing I haven't noticed on this thread...where's the amnesty supporters?
