‘40% of the illegals came here legally and overstayed their visas. Securing the border only solves part of the problem.
The Democrats do not want any local enforcement of immigration laws. We do it with drug laws. We do it with all these other things .. where we have these task forces between the federal and state and local agencies, and the Democrats do not want to do with immigration.’

Congressman Labrador addresses this point in his response to the ravings of the Rino. And the blatant lie from the shallow Brooks misquoting Mr. Labrador on a 90% reduction in illegal immigration and laying out a strawman 100% goal
is so obvious and contrived.
And where I think it is ok for the feds and states to work together, immigration, the Democrats will have none of it.
‘components of the law that we need to— ...change. For example, the.. ICE agents have told us that if they could work with the local communities, with the local law enforcement agents, they would be much more effective in securing our.. interior.’

Yes, Labrador mentioned interior enforcement. But where does he stand on amnesty, i.e., legalizing the status of the 11 to 20 mullion lawbreakers already in the country?

And Labrador appears to have have no problem with expanding our guest worker programs while 22 million Americans are underemployed or unemployed. Labrador was a member of the House Gang of 8 before he walked away. He is an amnesty supporter.

Labrador was short on details, but says he'll include a guest worker program and status for the so-called Dreamers – undocumented immigrants brought here as children. The other 11 million undocumented, he says, should be legalized, but not necessarily be given a path to citizenship.

"As long as we deal with all the other problems," he says, "they should be here legally and we can determine later what that means."
