For cities whose Mayors want to prevent the enforcement of US immigration law, the joint task force can develop plans using federal and state sources to do the removals. After all, that's what we have an ICE agency and National Guard to do. And we have other resources as well like DEA, IRS, ATF and FBI agents that can be utilized in the process.Quote:
With a GREEN LIGHT from the President and a joint task force to coordinate .... Americans will solve this problem and state and local law enforcement will be a huge part of that solution.
Once there's a GREEN LIGHT from the President, there's no Mayor or City Council still preventing enforcement of US immigration law who isn't on the take with the drug cartels. You all have to remember that under existing US immigration law, aiding, abetting and harboring illegal aliens is already a federal crime and Mayors and City Council members who do that are already violating US immigration law. This applies to state legislators and Governors as well.
Mayors, Governors, Legislators and City Council members supporting illegal aliens after Trump issues the GREEN LIGHT will have no sanctuary of their own, seems to me. They'll all be targets of federal investigations for corruption, immigration violations, bribery, kickbacks, and illegal drug conspiracies. And rightly so. We didn't get in this mess because these state and local officials give a hoot about illegal aliens, we're in this mess because they're all on the take with the drug cartels behind illegal immigration.
So they would have to proceed in that direction at their own peril, seems to me.
I believe the word I'm searching for to describe what Sherry, MW and JohnDoe2 are dealing with that is giving them a hard time to see how this actually works is: juxtaposition.
You all are trying to evaluate or judge a deportation plan within the present confines of a pro-illegal alien Presidency that not only provides sanctuary to illegal aliens but sanctuary to those in power at state and local levels aiding and abetting that sanctuary. That doesn't work, because the new environment of Trump will not be pro-illegal alien, it will be anti-illegal alien and that changes everything for everybody, not just illegal aliens, but all those who aid, abet and harbor illegal aliens, including Mayors, City Council members, police chiefs, Governors, even members of state legislatures.
I believe Sherry is right when she says there will be a "war" in LA. I've called it protests and riots, but the word "war" is fine with me, because it's going to be rough in LA, very rough. But it will pass quickly because the protesters and rioters in their acts of war against our country will be exposing themselves, and they will be swiftly arrested and deported.
What will actually happen on the political level is all these crooks selling our country out to illegal aliens will realize their own peril, shut their big mouths, lay low, hide their money and cooperate in every manner required. After all, not one of them is courageous enough to spend the next 20 to 30 years in prison for federal immigration corruption charges to continue doing the bidding of illegal aliens and foreign drug cartels.
Or, so it seems to me.
