That's not true - officers actively don't enforce stop signs unless there's a real problem which is why they're usually not watching ANY stop signs. The same thing is true with immigration. From what I've heard, if I called the INS and said, "hey, there's at least 50 illegal Mexicans fixing roofs in my neighborhood" they'll say, "so what do you want us to do about it?" And the police will say the same because it's not criminal, i.e., the only punitive part of being illegal is detention and deportation - something the Police don't do. Again, let's face the facts: this law is simply a lag - a relic, an anachronism - of a choice already made. So to say "let's enforce the law" is non-sensical. Americans don't want that law enforced which is why we've got 12 million illegals in the first place! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:201606 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
