So, what's the scam? Preempt the states and leave the computer bank empty or full of garbage?

Repeal the 17th amendment.

"Candidates for the coming election are now a monotone chorus chanting “change”. Well, a welcome change for them and the rest of the inside-the-Beltway crowd would be to start enforcing the ample and adequate immigration laws we already have. A welcome change would also be to get off the open-border cheap-labor bandwagon and start paying attention to what the people want. If not, then let’s kick that boulder back down the mountain, and see if they want to try it again."

Like it or not, the U.S. Constitution gives the Congress of the United States purview over regulating immigration.

Thus, they probably have the power to preempt local laws regarding the matter.

Our best option is to replace Congress.

Sam Johnson R-Texas-scum, slime, filth, maggot.

I have heard this Congressmen treated with respect by some Freepers. He is apparently what is shown above. I am feeling like today there is no point in even voting any more. we are being stabbed in the back by a party that is completely unresponsive.

Community colleges to bar immigrants without papers
The ESL classes at Wake Tech are free of charge.

Posted: May. 13 11:47 a.m.
Updated: May. 13 9:17 p.m. (noticed that the update changed the original “illegal immigrants” to “immigrants without paper”)

Raleigh, N.C. — North Carolina’s 58 community colleges will no longer allow undocumented immigrants to enroll in degree programs, officials said Tuesday.

The Attorney General’s Office has agreed to ask federal officials to clarify rules regarding undocumented immigrants and college enrollment.

“Until we receive further clarification, we will no longer admit individuals classified as illegal or undocumented immigrants into curriculum degree programs,” Ralls said.

As always when dealing with the political class growing ever more distant from the populace it rules,...

It doesn't make sense, but I can't shake the conclusion that they WANT a revolution. Dumb f---s don't seem to remember they need to get the guns first.

Mr. Obama, are you now or have you ever been a communist?

Too bad Joe McCarthy isn’t around any more.

[ckilmer]

the republican loss in Mississippi probably has something to do with these kinds of shenanigans. human events has it right. the betrayal of the american populace is on both sides of the isle. elite dems (& their flacks) do it for cheap votes. elite pubs (& their flacks) do it for cheap labor.

It would also prevent any unit of government from verifying status of renters, determining eligibility for receipt of benefits, enrollment in school, obtaining a business or other license, or conducting a background check.

This preemption, buried deep in the text of the bill, would kill all the laws recently enacted by long-suffering states and localities in response to the federal governments unwillingness to enforce its own federal laws on immigration.

How bad is it when even the democrats are making the GOP look worse on illegal immigration? Fortunately NEVA probably won't be going anywhere but someone better tell Johnson that with bills like his neither will the Republicans chances of ever getting back the House.

I faintly recall a clause in the Constitution reserving certain rights to the States and undelegated rights to the Citizens.

And an oath to protect the Constitution.
