LEO Question....

Law enforcement agencies would lose all of the federal welfare they receive if they were to go against the Fed's in any way with these crimes. What the DHS and the DOJ says is what is gospel.

LEO Question....

Part of my job is human trafficking. I've stopped on traffic pc, investigated, detained, and had many SUV and Van loads of illegals picked up by the Feds. I'm one county away from the Louisiana border on I-10.

We could stop illegal immigration in a heartbeat if we wanted to. On another note(since we are talking about "his" subject), I think Trump is a democrat wearing a GOP badge and I hope none of y'all are contemplating voting for his arrogant arse.

The current occupant of the White House will not grant that jurisdiction to the local officials and even when they do contact the federal government, the federal government will not investigate the illegal entry unless the person is accused of a felony only. To put it simply, the law is in place however for the last seven years the federal government has refused to use the extent of the law.

Has anyone that lived in the White House ever granted that jurisdiction?
Illegal immigration is a bit older than Google.

They are doing jobs American workers don't want?

Eliminate welfare for a couple of years and i bet there'd be more "American workers" willing to do the labor jobs. My grand paw framed houses and did road construction. Retired on the social security he earned doing it.

Yes they have. Previously I could detain a person, contact ICE (or before that, INS) and get a detainer on the phone. Now an arrest for a crime cannot get a detainer. All that we are told by local ICE agents are that they have to contact the regional office that has to then contact Washington DC, which from our experience will not detain anyone unless convicted of a felony. We can arrest a person for DWI which is a fairly serious offense which endangers the public and the driver can admit to being in the country illegally and there is nothing that will be done. Previously that was not the case.

I could care less about googling any information. I am merely relating my experience.

This sounds really good, but nobody wants to pay the cost of services that no illegals would bring on. Lets face it, we exploit the heck out of it.

I like having my yard mowed for $35. that price would be almost double if it were actual citizens doing it.

Illegal immigration is the equivalent of foreign outsourcing, for work that can't be done outside of america.

People with this mentality are the source of the problem.
If no one gave them cash money for doing stuff that they are too lazy to do themselves or too cheap to pay a citizen a fair wage, the illegal invaders would have less incentive to come here in the first place.

Take away the free medical care, welfare, ESL teachers, etc. and our country would have a lot more money to spend on taking care of our own citizens who truly need help.

IMO, anyone who hires, or in anyway contributes to, illegal invaders should be prosecuted for treason.
You are basically aiding and abetting a known criminal to continue to commit crimes against our nation.
