There are differences between pronouncements and findings.

But since you live in Arizona, maybe you have some insight to what �local law enforcement authorities are going to do with the people they arrest for illegal entry. They can't prosecute them. They can't deport them.

You are describing the problem where the federal government is failing
to carry out ints constitutional duty to protect the the citizens from
all enemies foreign and domestic.

It is not Arizonia's problem or the citizens of Arizona's problem that
the federal government is taxing them and mis-appropriating the money
for other purposes that are not constitutionally mandated.

I heard on the radio this evening that there are 6,600 ICE agents in the
entire US and that there are 35,000 cops in NYC. The federal budget is
$2 Trillion dollars a year and the NYC budget is $44 billion.

It is the cost of doing business. Risk vs. reward.

I have no problem with doing an appropriate punishment - after due
process.

If I am stopped, and they ask to see my legal papers, I can claim to
be a citizen - and I would be even telling the truth. I suspect
others will lie. Either case, we won't show the papers.

The guy who sits next to me at work is Canadian. He tells me this
isn't true.
