I don't for a minute believe that the Chiefs of Police want the situation that might be dumped in their laps and make them the ultimate bad actors here.

Perhaps they should maybe resign their positions if they feel they can't fulfull their oathes of offices and/or commissions and duty to the American citizen tax payer.

I don't disagree with your premise that anyone refusing to furnish the citizens with protection, should not be in the job but the point that I am trying to make here is in favor of the good guys, and I know of a few and really good about who they are and what they are about, and I know that they are really upset about the illegals running around committing crimes in areas that had previously been crime free. But to suggest that local police begin acting as INS Agents and Border Patrol, is not only unfair on it's face because they need to concentrate on one job - and that is the one that they hired on to do - round up the bad guys and lock them up.

What we need is a really effective federal force with local jurisdiction to do this job - when or if we can convince Washington that "WE THE PEOPLE" demand that this be done.
