You should know that this is the Obama-ites main argument against this bill: that only the federal government has the right to enforce immigration laws. So I ask again. What about states’ rights? Not being snarky (this time), but genuinely curious.
Well, as a current resident of South Carolina - (The YOU LIE State) I would hope that the intent of this would be that the States are doing what the Feds SHOULD have been doing all along - enforcing the law. I am seeing this across the country - States stepping up to the plate and saying, FINE, if you aren’t going to enforce the law, we will. The Feds are NOT enforcing the law. The Feds hands are tied by years of Liberal legislation that makes them no more effective than a frowning Nanny. And, the responsibility of the individual is also a necessary component of resolving this problem - DON’T hire an illegal. No money = no food. Go back home...
BUT, I have an inherent distrust of “Law Enforcement Agents”...
