What about a citizens arrest?employment is at the will of either party.
Entry into the Union is a federal obligation since 1808. States have no Constitutional basis to care if someone is from out of State or from out of state.
All foreign nationals in the US should have a federal id. We should have no "illegal" problem.
A state doesn't care if someone is from another state or another country? Unless that person is trying to get a job and then they care. They should care.
And what do you think Entry into the Union is a federal obligation means? Are you trying to suggest that means we are obligated to take in anyone who comes?
To me that just means Entry into the USA is a federal thing, not state issue. And states don't have the right to say we aren't taking any Somalians or Arabs who the USA takes in.
But that's take in legally.
I think a local cop should be able to deport an illegal. Don't you?
Whoa there dude. If a local cop can enforce federal law, then they can come to your house and enforce federal gun laws. BAD IDEA.
If you want to put it into terms I will understand you should ask me how would I like a Michigan cop to arrest me for having pot when it's legal in Michigan. Would I like him arresting me for a federal crime?
But I still think if a cop catches an illegal immigrant they should be able to turn them into Ice.
But then that would make me a hypocrite probably.
I guess you are what you say IF you would actually do it. The principle would apply across the board (it's that 14th Amendment you know.) If a local or state cop can arrest you for violating a federal law, then he can arrest you for violating gun laws.
Sheriff Richard Mack took that question all the way to the United States Supreme Court as he did not want to be forced into complying with the Brady Bill. He won the case. We're talking now about the equal protection of the laws. Our Republic, thank God, has jurisdictional boundaries. They cannot violate them just because you do not like undocumented foreigners.
Why aren't those obsessed with the issue making citizen arrests and trying out their theories?
