If the federal government had controlled the border, as they are supposed to, no state would have to deal with any illegal aliens.

True, but that still doesn't excuse what's going on in California.

The United States has 5,000 ICE Agents and 10,000 Border Patrol Agents for a total of 15,000 people to secure our borders and ports. States and local law enforcement have 800,000 sworn, trained and equipped police officers.

Now you tell me who should and should not be involved with securing our borders and ports? 15,000 federal agents or 815,000 federal, state and local law enforcement officers?

Who is costing more? Who eats more donuts? Who has the lower per officer arrest rate? Who arrests 1.5 million non violent drug offenders but refuses to arrest illegal aliens?

Yeah, those guys need to be ready and willing to help our country secure our borders and ports by all reasonable means and directly aid in the arrest and deportation of all illegal aliens in the United States on the earliest possible date.

For some California sheriffs, it's not politics stopping them from fully helping ICE: It's the legal risk

California’s economy is booming. That could change if US-China relations sour.

It's a shame when China is responsible for the success or failure of any state economy in this country.
