Oh No!
New Yorker Worried that Sheriffs Will Comply With Federal Immigration Law

Oh No! New Yorker Worried that Sheriffs Will Comply With Federal Immigration Law
Imagine local sheriffs who actually comply with federal immigration law. What a concept.

Perhaps The New Yorker magazine is more comfortable with local police officials who defy such laws because their jurisdiction is in sanctuary cities. However, when faced with the reality that many sheriffs around the nation are more than willing to comply with federal law in order to protect their citizens, the New Yorker finds this problematic as you can see in their Thursday story by Jessica Pishko, "How Sheriffs Might Power Trump’s Deportation Machine."
Pishko finds it highly problematic that local sheriffs are willing to cooperate with the deportation policies of incoming President Donald Trump and his designated no-nonsense "Border Czar" Tom Homan.
In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which expanded the criminal charges for which a person could be subject to deportation. As immigration became linked to criminal law, local law enforcement—especially county sheriffs, who enjoy relative autonomy free from direct oversight and have jurisdiction over much larger areas than, say, urban police departments—began to play a critical role in the deportation machine.
Ironic that it was a Democrat president who made it easier for sheriff's to aid in the deportation of those in the USA illegally. Of course, that was an era before Democrats encouraged open border policies to the extent of defying federal immigration law via sanctuary cities.~Snip~
Notice that conflation of "anti-immigration" with enforcing immigration law by Pishko? We saw what you did there. Oh, and nice touch by nefariously describing Sheriff Mark Lamb as a "Homan collaborator." You can almost read swastikas between the lines.
Commentary:
Only Neo-Marxist Democrats prefer illegal alien welfare suckers over the citizens whose money that is used to put them up in 5 star hotels.
They say cops are lawless and need to be defunded and eliminated claiming they're angry when cops are forced to follow the law after the left ordered them not to., except when they need protection.
