This ALL amounts to kindness being taken for weakness. We have been and so they do.

Navy, I think we are interpreting the same text and coming to different conclusions.
Your last post reads to me that the state or local authorities can make an arrest when someone is in the process of crossing into the country illegally.
Your second to last post reads to me that in the course of investigating crimes, the state and local authorities may ask someone's status. But it doesn't read that they can ask someone's status just because they feel like asking it.
And no where are they compelled to enforce immigration policy, unless it pertains to employment.
I must be misunderstanding something because it appears that Stoddard works for Border Patrol...isn't that the Fed?
That's what happens when the federal government gets involved... If they would let the states take care of themselves (except for some things obviously) these people would be held accountable.
Okay Willow, which argument is? I think I made it pretty clear it't the responsibility of the Feds to do something about illegal immigration. However, state and local governments like our wonderful mayor and that worthless mayor of San Francisco that pass local laws to interfere with that IMHO should be held liable.
That's exactly what she said.
Navy, I think most of what you posted applies to encouraging and finding jobs for illegal aliens.
The point is, in my opinion, is that the state and local authority almost have no authority to question someone's citizenship and they have no obligation to turn in people just for being illegal. I'll see if I can find the thread in question and the part of it that stated the law.
