Tancredo is the only Congressman who seems to get it.
I would like to propose an alternate solution. I am not a legal expert, and would like everyone's feedback on it.
If the Feds are unwilling to enforce the INS laws, can't the states do it? I don't know of anything preventing a state from having laws prohibiting aliens from carrying false identification or of entering the state without proper immigration papers. They could imprison the perps or escort them out of the state or out of the country.
Heck, there may be some such laws on the books.
There are lots of instances of states having laws that have duplicates in the Federal legal system. It is illegal to possess marijuana in most every state, as well as in the US.
So what do you think? Would this be a way of protecting the people of each state and perhaps shaming the Feds into protecting the borders of this nation?
And this information about law enforcement agencies REFUSING to make arrests is disgusting.
Don't know if the states can do this .. but I do know that the left and the ACLU will be screaming up a storm about civil rights abuse and tie up the courts .. which is one of the problems we already have ..
And no I am not trying to shift the blame and I am all for the idea .. I'm just stating the reality
