[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 731571, member: 22662"] Don't be silly. There are groups in and out of the federal government salivating over the opportunity to find racial profiling in the enforcement of this law. Racial profiling will be found, it will be adjudicated, and it will be repealed. This is not a matter of "reading the law" it's a matter if jurisdictional authority that the federal government will not give up. My post earlier was ridiculous and in it's silliness certain people lost the meaning. It's not the specifics that matter. If I'm $40,000 behind in paying federal income taxes, it's not the State of Illinois that's putting a lien on the house. It's the IRS. Simple. Who has jurisdiction at the border? Federal government. Don't like what they're doing about it? Nobody does but we don't seem to be able to come up with a workable compromise to satisfy everybody. And no matter how much one's passion becomes involved, there are laws, methods, procedure, and jurisdiction issues that arise. Democracy is a messy, cumbersome system but it's the best one going.
