I listen to the twit say he wrote an Executive order telling HIS Administration to stop deporting people that are ILLEGALLY IN THE US. He and He alone is deciding what US laws his Administration is going to enforce THAT IS NOT HIS JOB OLDTIMER, HIS JOB IS TO ENFORCE THE LAWS. :x He even admitted just last year he did not have the authority to do what he just did so I ask again Oldtimer what has changed since last year that made him and YOU think he had the right to pick and choose what laws he was going to enforce?
And you as a ex law man excusing his not enforcing US laws is DISGUSTING and you should be ashamed of yourself :roll:
Tam- you're living in Dreamland if you think administrators/prosecutors can enforce every local, state, or federal law on the books...They've made prioritizing decisions for years...GW and Christopher Cox turned down funding given to them by Congress to add investigators to the SEC claiming they weren't needed and then overlooked enforcement of numerous laws/regulations against the banking industry http://mostcorrupt.com/Appointees-Cox.htm ...
Agencies/Departments would need 10 times the amount of budgets/manpower to enforce every law on the books...There are laws on the books that date back to horse and buggy days.. The freeing up of the funds and manpower needed to deport these folks with no criminal records can be better used catching and deporting those that are criminals...
the policy change will apply to those who came to the United States before they were 16 and who are younger than 30 if they have lived here for five years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or served in the military.
In the 90's when budgets were tight- and our entire office gas budget was $750 month/$9000 for the year- we had to set limits on how far we would extradite misdemeanor crimes against property suspects from...In most cases we would not go further than neighboring counties...Even crimes against persons suspects and felons were prioritized- and if the person was deemed not a danger to others often we would not go out of state due to the high costs of extradition- and lack of manpower...
The S.O. also quit enforcement of traffic law and responding to non injury accidents (leaving that to the H.P.'s)..That was all done under Prosecutorial discretion/Administrative discretion because both tied up too much manpower that was better used for criminal investigation...And we were backed by the county fathers, prosecutors, and Judges... Several counties had to go this route...
And really Tam- you who claim to be the "Conservative Queen"- do you really want the Federal government to start enforcing every law on the book :???:
Do you know what it would cost the taxpayers to enforce every law on the books :???:
