[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an entire federal government agency dedicated to nothing but the enforcement of immigration law. Local police need to do their own job.  They don’t have the time of resources to do immigration.  How about ICE does its job and stop complaining?[/quote]

Quite a few jurisdictions have the time and resources to do it. If they're not doing it it's because they don't want to.[/quote]

Or maybe because they are aware of the federal appellate court rulings indicating that they are not supposed to do so.[/quote]

And yet some jurisdictions still do it. Must not be an issue. [/quote]
They can if they want to, but feds can't force states to. That's the point.[/quote]

Well that is exactly what I said. If they're not doing it it's because they don't want to. I didn't say anything about forcing them to[/quote]
They don't want to  because they have more important things to do, like going after violent criminals, thieves, etc.. They don't regard undocumented immigrants who otherwise don't break local laws as a danger to society.  [b]If you really think going after an undocumented farm worker is more urgent than a child abuser,[/b] well, I guess that shows you where your priorities are. [b]  And before you say they can do both, no, they can't if they have limited resources. Many large cities have very little room in their local jails, and they don't have unlimited budget.

Here's a thought... why not spend some of that border funding to build more holding cells in the interior of the country, and hire more ICE agents to do sweeps. I'm sure the R farmers would appreciate ICE agents arresting their workers because they don't support illegal immigrants, right?[/quote]

No one said anything of the sort. But if you stumble across men at Home Depot or 7-11, don't just turn a blind eye.

They absolutely can do both. As you said more detention centers can be built. Eventually they will get the message.[/quote]
Read what I wrote.. I even bolded it for you.   Most local law enforcement are busy trying to deal with violent crime and theft. They leave the undocumented workers to the Feds, as they should.

More detention centers "can" be built, but they aren't.[/quote]

I read what you wrote the first time. Just because you said it doesnt make it so.

Congress just increased the number of beds that ICE can use to detain people in the spending bill that was just signed... so they in fact are increasing the number of detention centers (or at least the beds used to detain illegal immigrants). [/quote]
Those detention centers aren't run by local law enforcement, so they won't be rounding up them illegals for ICE.

That's great the numbers of detention centers increasing. Now if only ICE would do its job, and  not rely on local law enforcement to do it for them. I'd prefer my local police work on violent crime and other more serious issues.[/quote]
