a few weeks back, onewingedshark made a good statutory analysis of how governors could force the fed to act, or literally be free do secure their own borders by established laws...i am simply wonderin if the county sheriffs have the same type of authority/duty of law, which would force the Governors to in turn, force the feds...

it would seem theres a better chance of a single, locally elected sheriff with some balls to set the whole establishment upside down and actually get some border security accomplished, rather than waiting on a gov that is afraid to rock the fed boat...

I hear you. There are a few Sheriff’s like Arpaio, Babeu is one, but there sure isn’t enough like them. :-)

>>yer previous analysis of the possibilities for the governors to force the feds hand with a militia unit, could that be applied locally in the form of deputizing an army to force state and fed response???

Not Constitutionally... the deputizing-and-arresting plan has been effectively gutted with the precedence of stay places on AZ’s SB1070 (as it *was* for the allowing of States/localities to enforce federal law) as far as most Americans are concerned.
