Great idea, but the dems would do whatever judge shopping was necessary to get it struck down.
FYI
This is pure theatrics. I won’t pass the Senate (maybe Reid will not even put it up to a vote) and in any event a certain presidential veto. So what’s the point about all this? Unless Congress acts, illegals are entitled to free k-12 education. What does the Bill do to this? Driver’s licenses for illegals? The Bill does not address any of this.
Can you imagine what it would be like if they were successful in infringing on our right to bear arms? Totally at the mercy of our political ‘masters’.
So what...
DHS, and ICE are Federal lackies...They will not do their jobs regardless of the provisions (in this legislative Act) that allow the states to step in and “help” those Federal agencies to do theirs...
So we are back to square one...
It seems to me local civilian activists opposing this “redistribution” of illegals into the country for “processing” is picking up steam...
The more the Feds try to keep it quiet, the more local law enforcement agencies are tipping off locals to the plan...
Just remember, the narratives that pass for news these days is already been supplanted on this particular issue by the airliner that was just shot down over the Ukraine...
“How many divisions will that judge have?”
Why would you think they would succeed in that capacity???
;-)
I like Mark Levin’s advice to the border state governors.
1. Say “I have a pen and a phone” and send the state police and the National Guard to the border and start arresting illegal aliens as they come across.
2. When the 0bama administration says that is illegal say “So sue me!”
Yep —
Its up to the local communities to solve problems dumped in their back yards by the feds.
If there is now an Obama Kamp in your city; local officials and local LEO’s need to cut power and services to that illegal kamp, load all illegals on school buses and promplty deliver them to any local federal facility such as an army base.
They do not need to strike it down...The implementation of the provisions in this act alone make it a cinch for the responsible agencies to just NOT implement any corrective measures to alleviate the strain this recent influx of criminals are putting on our system, our rule of law...
It is a democrats, and Fabian Socialists wet dream...
The only thing, again, is our civilian activism putting as much opposition to this plan as possible across the entire country...
If we let up, the game is over...
I love the term “Obama Kamp”, that would make for a great protest sign...
As far as taking the illegals and dumping them onto a military base...Wouldn’t that be kinda harsh on the troops??? I don’t think it is their fault for this to be dropped in their lap...Right???
;-)
So the House should just sit on their hands and do nothing? This is what Obama on the campaign trail is saying they are doing. They don't have any solutions. Start passing bills out of the House and make Reid be the obstruction. Make the Democrats be the do nothing party.
As far as taking the illegals and dumping them onto a military base...Wouldnt that be kinda harsh on the troops??? I dont think it is their fault for this to be dropped in their lap...Right???

These “refugees” are little better than foreign enemies. Sent here to destroy America.
Who better to deal with them than our armed forces?
Or turn it into an Amnesty bill in Conference Committee.
It's Gowdy, doing the job he was elected to do:
Propose a good, effective, Constitutional measure.
At minimum, it's a great weapon to use on Democratic candidates THIS FALL who oppose it. This Obamigration thing is absolutely killing them in the polls now.
Even if it doesn't pass, it gives the States more cultural momentum to do just as Levin says and enforce the borders themselves, with or without the measure. It gives us a head-start on sending all those Guatemalan gangsters home.
It reminds the American people in a tangible way what their real rights are, how their government is supposed to work, and what "normal" means.
This is leadership. You don't get victory in one battle. But, Congress or not, States could start doing this next week.
Perhaps governors of the border states that are so inclined can simply take their OWN executive actions and reinterpret whatever laws are necessary to allow them to arrest, detain and deport those who enter illegally.
"Grants States and Localities the Authority to Enforce Immigration Laws: ..."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Patriots may admire Rep. Gowdy as a John Wayne-type cowboy, but the absurd language above from the proposed SAFE Act begs the question if Gowdy was present when HoR RINOs read the Constitution out loud at the beginnings of the 2011 and 2013 legislative sessions.
As mentioned in related threads concerning so-called federal government power to regulation, please consider the following. Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's "uniform Rule of Naturalization" Clause aside, Clause 4 of Section 8 of Article I, the states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration, immigration a 10th Amendment-protected state power. Unique state power to regulate immigration is evdenced by the following excerpt from Thomas Jefferson's writings.
4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the day of July, 1798, intituled An Act concerning aliens, which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force [emphasis added]. Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.
Rep. Gowdy evidently doesn't understand the federal government's constitutionally limited power well enough to know that the burden is on Congress to petition the states for an amendment to the Constitution which would delegate to Congress the specific power regulate immigration if the states chose to ratify it.
As a side note concerning the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. The states would sure be a dull, boring place to grow up and live in if parents were to make sure that their children were taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. /sarc
Thomas Jefferson had put it this way:
Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature. - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Thanks for posting this. Trey Gowdy is getting more and more of my respect and admiration. This is the first viable solution that I have coming from anyone in DC.
