Really?A law is only as effective as how it is policed. Trump has met his match if he wants to take-on American cops.
To begin with, the vast majority of American cops adore Donald Trump whose implicit promise to satisfy their wildest Gestapo fantasies has them enthralled. So this Chief Beck is essentially talking out of his ass.
Here's what will happen. The mayor of a given town or city, L.A., for example, will be told, subsequent to a brief discussion of forthcoming federal subsidies, that his police department will engage in the arrest of illegally present foreigners. Unless the mayor feels it is worth receiving zero federal money for the coming year he will tell Charlie Beck to order his cops to saddle up and prepare to arrest illegal squatters.
If Charlie Beck refuses to comply he will be summarily replaced. His successor will either comply or he or she, too, will be replaced until a compliant successor is found. As far as the rank and file cops are concerned, they will be only too happy to start zipping on the plastic handcuffs and saying goodbye to thousands of border jumpers and phony "asylum seekers."
As far as any Presidential (Obama) Executive Orders affording protected status to illegals is concerned, a quick stroke of President Trump's Mont Blanc will take care of that. So it appears to me that Chief Beck is contemplating retirement and prefers not to go quietly.
So, we'll see.
