Actually, State and Local police *are* able to enforce this. The instances that you and CyC have listed are only a current reality due to Obama's "policies" which are in direct conflict with the actual statutes. This statute is Section 287g of the Immigration and Nationality Act (I&NA), which came into existence under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA 96) that was signed by President Bill Clinton. It is this exact reference of law that Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona had used successfully until the Obama Administration chose to make Arpaio some type of racist pariah. When initially crafted, 287g was extremely broad but allowed city, state and local law enforcement agencies to arrest ANY immigrant illegally in the U.S., only after such agency was given appropriate training and entered into what is called a "Memorandum of Agreement" (MOA) with what was then the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), which was changed by Dubya into Homeland Security. Those duties were once carried out by Border Patrol, but are now under the jurisdiction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). So, before Obama, all an agency needed to do was get the requisite training and sign off on the MOA, and those agencies were automatically allowed to make immigration arrests. It was all very simple without a lot of BS policies that were contrary to the existing laws. Many agencies did so. It wasn't until Obama started interfering that almost all of those agencies dropped the 287g program, probably due to: 1) The program became fraught with policies that created unwanted headaches, and 2) Nobody wanted to become like Arpaio and have the U.S. Government constantly harassing them as racist lawbreakers. During the Obama administration, certain "tweaks" have been made to Section 287g, but it remains mostly in its original form from the days of IRRIRA 96. I have provided a quick link: https://www.ice.gov/factsheets/287g Hope this helps.
It's not so much that he "changed" them, inasmuch that he crafted policies that handcuffed every single ICE Agent as well as every single non-Federal agency that participated in 287g. Kinda like working at McDonald's and being told you couldn't make a hamburger unless you ran through a million pieces of red tape first. Then, if you ran through all the red tape and made the hamburger, Corporate Office would contact your supervisor and they would come up with devilish and ingenious ways to "punish" you and make you tap out, without actually firing you. Yeah, that's how the Federal Government works.
Anybody just watch Obama's press conference / speech with the Chancellor of Germany? Turrible, just turrible.
Instead, you give citizens fines and tickets. Then, let illegals go. What a joke. My tax dollars hard at work.
Are you saying you let him go? WTF. Would you let me go if I got a DUI because of the expenses? Seriously, they need to amend the 2nd amendment to allow use of force against illegal immigrant criminals. You let them go and we have target practice.
Don't blame the cops dude...their hands are tied by their superiors, who are further tied down by bureaucracy (aka Obama). And yes, if the jails were full or an agency had no money, the police would find alternate ways of "letting you go". Even if it was a DUI. Now, if it were a DUI involving a death, all bets would be off. And, as much as I dislike illegal immigration, "target practice" only serves to solidify the false narrative that people against illegal immigration are violent racists. Sending them back to their home countries, along with ensuring that they never return, should suffice.
Please don't forget that your Federal tax dollars and your State and Local tax dollars are complete separate entities.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012 Obama signed it on New Years Eve 2011. Provisions ammended in the NDAA gives the gov the legal right to detain anyone indefinatley without charge.
I didn't watch it, but it really doesn't matter. Why? Because the mainstream media continues to paint Merkel as a strong ally of Obama, and Germany as a strong partner of the left wing globalization agenda. The truth is, Merkel is on thin ice in Germany and barely tolerated, while Germany is going through the exact same growing pains that the U.S. is going through...as well as most of Western Europe. Proof positive that maybe Brexit wasn't such a bad idea after all, despite all the naysayers and doom predictions in the media.
I'm saying that my tax dollars (federal, state and local) are used to fine or arrest me but let others ago. If there is room in the jails for US citizens, why can't we hold these criminal illegal immigrants there until ICE can deport them. I would think that a US citizen should get a pass before an illegal immigrant.
I'm not talking about race. I'm talking about following and enforcing the law. US citizens have to abide by the law and face consequences when it is broken. Illegals break federal law by illegally entering the country and then can break further laws. Then, we just set them free. Hopefully, Trump increases the budget for ICE and other agencies to help get rid of these criminals who live among us.
Yeah, that's what I hear. I just thought they both seemed lost and searching for words. He also seems to be spreading doubt across the world and he's passive aggressively taking jabs at the President Elect and the American people who voted for him while not taking the opportunity to condemn the violent protests and demanding they stop. What a d*ck. Sore f'ing loser is what he is.
Brexit was and IS an excellent idea. The rational is sound for todays world. Britain got sick and tired of paying for Greek and Italians relying on them to pay for their retirement at age 45 programs. And we should the do same from NAFTA, from UN, from WHO. After all, we pay for 95% of it. And why should we: after helping a nation they ALWAYS stab us in the back. Not sometimes, ALWAYS.
Isolationism (think that's a word) is trending. I think it'll benefit the global powers to pull back or scale back on some operations and promises that aren't developing within the timeframe they set out for. I think it'll hurt the under-developing countries - the ones that are real poor and always in a bad state. for those nations tho, there should be a nearby ally to help, not far away countries doing an overreach into matters that they don't fully comprehend. A lot of countries pulling out of agreements, pacts, etc. Sometimes you gotta stay in your lane - at least that's what i'm hearing from my coworker's radio
The issue with this is that when the US pulls back its influence and $$$$, China, Russia, India, etc. will move in. Not saying it's better or worse but it's probably reality.
Let them--it will then drain their resources NOT ours. In case you aren't aware, because we have been financially drained, China, Russia, etc have "caught up" to us in a military sense, to some degree. We cannot be everything to everybody--that is national suicide; it has to stop.
Totally agree. The scariest thing is that we still gotta deal with this loser for 2 more months. Exactly. Everyone in the U.S. seems to believe that only the U.S. is sick and tired of footing the bill for the slugs and parasites. It really is, currently, a worldwide movement that the mainstream media has twisted and avoided for a few years now. Yep, "isolationism" is definitely a word...a word that Americans have been taught since grade school that is used as the reason why the U.S. was dragged into WW2. Personally, I believed that had we either isolated ourselves from the problems in Europe, or whether we chose to be "politically engaged", would've ended with the U.S. going to war anyways. The fact that we politically isolated ourselves only delayed the inevitable. And, we only have recorded history to tell us how "isolated" we really were in 1941...so there's that.
