Immigration Enforcement

Article: Justice says judge ruled correctly in Arizona case - Yahoo! News

She added that "while we understand the frustration of Arizonans with the broken immigration system, a patchwork of state and local policies would seriously disrupt federal immigration enforcement and would ultimately be counterproductive."

What "enforcement"? I thought the feds would be happy that Arizona was enforcing the law since it is evidently the feds' job to not enforce it.

There are some pieces of the Arizona law that I wasn't completely sold on. However, I think this comes down to state rights. And I think the feds are taking too much control.

Eventually it will be against the law to smoke, go outside on high pollution days, eat donuts, or do anything else that might cost the government more Health Care money.

The major problem is that the Feds were not and are not enforcing the law. :doh:

Agreed. And now Arizona is prevented from doing their job too!

So, Arizona should pass a new law, giving any adult citizen of the state make Citizen's arrests when they discover an illegal immigrant. They will have the right to use reasonable force to both detain the illegal and defend themselves from harm. Anyone trespassing on private property is subject to citizen's arrest as well. After the illegal is processed by state officials and found to truly be illegal, the citizen making the arrest receives a tax free cash bounty.

I think this would stop the influx of illegals in less than 30 days.

Unfortunately I couldn't see that working. Too much could go wrong with that plan... and if the police can't do that job, I somehow doubt they would let citizens do that job.

I could see too many problems with mob-mentality vigilante "justice". The feds really need to get on the ball. A deported illegal who returned to the states killed one of my friends.

Servantofone...I removed my original post.Not to start any problems brought on by such a touchy subject about the illegals.I have said my peace and subject dropped.

I respect the fact that you would actually read someone else's post, reconsider your original statement, and then retract it. That shows what kind of person you are. I removed my post as well.

I actually do read other folks posts.I am not nor will I ever be disrespectful to any member here,including you.I didn't mean for you to think of me as a disrespectful person.So does this make us cool?I hope you and I will remain friends here .I didn't mean for you to start off having a crappy Friday.Again I apologize.Thank you.

Oh no, I wasn't upset with you about it. I just disagreed with your statement. I didn't feel you were disrespectful, that's why I bothered to state my case and hopefully make you rethink what you said (which you did!). So no apology is needed. Not even friends agree all of the time. And I believe that it's ok to have an argument\discussion, never come to an agreement, and go right on being friends.

Nobody here could ruin my Friday. It's one of the best days of the week!
