Exactly.
Maybe the hapless Feds can't find them, but everybody at the local level knows where the live, work, shop, go to school and hang out. They are in plain sight. They are not hiding.
If the local police went after them, most would be gone before next January. In reality, many would just self-deport rather than get arrested. Others might stream to "sanctuary cities" which would likely get fed up with this plague of locusts and have their own citizens revolt on their hands.
It's the political will that's missing, not the opportunity or ability to identify and get rid of most of them. The reality is the Feds just don't have the will to do it. There is too much in it for them (potential votes and money from their backers). So, they have decided to pass laws getting rid of the problem by making what is blatantly illegal become "legal". They're fooling nobody. They're just trying to ram it through before the people finally wake up and the tidal wave of rage hits.
Every one of these dastardly villains should be chased from office in disgrace or fired from their fat bureaucratic jobs and made to actually go to work for a living.
Exactly!
Also .. IMO the feds should cut off freebie funding to all those sanctuary states/cities/towns
If the want to keep and protect illegals .. then let them pay for it
