To an extent, I can almost agree with the local police departments being on this list. Don't we have INS to do that? Isn't it their job to take care of immigration violations and violators? If we have 15 agencis all trying to do the same job, isn't that a lot of waste of taxpayers $$$?
Oh, my bad, I forgot that that is exactly how the Feds operate anyway.
Its typical for local agencies to not want to be proactive. If they look in the same direction as the feds they will become liable and take on more work. If they look in a different direction than the feds, then they can't be held liable for anything. But sometimes the feds look in the direction of the local LE AOR's. (example: Derrick Foxworth and his Portland police force). The two big brothers (local and federal) will not work together on illegals. The feds want as many people in this country as possible. Its designed to destabilize us, so they will have to step in and take care of us. We have to take this situation into our own hands now. Waiting to change laws will not work. We have to stop it right now. Showing up and relying on the feds to bust someone at the Matricular Round Ups will not work. The feds will never perform this duty. We have to do this ourselves. Once the people take on immigration as a serious matter, the feds will move in to quell any problems. They will just remove them
You have to find a hungry ICE agent. Feed him the information on where the illeagals work, live, shop and play on a constant basis. This way he will be more inclined to do his job when the heat comes down from his supervisors telling him to stop what he is doing.
THE PEOPLE WILL take on Illegal Immigration in Woodburn on Dec. 3rd
We have to show them we are willing to STAND TOGETHER
At this point I don't expect these agencies to solve the illegal problem, but I would be happy if they stop aiding them. How can my union help illegals that want to take my job? Oh wait, problably because it's the same union that wants me to vote for a party that wants to give what money I have to someone who won't work.
Don't worry-be happy.
