I agree that this is a Federal and not a State issue.
It needs to be solved at the Federal level and is the job of the Congress critters to do so. The issue of sanctuary cities and the fact that corporate America, as well as a lot of mom and pop businesses, have been responsible for creating the illegal job market over the past few generations. That is the root problem and is what must be dealt with. But we all know as long as the boys on K street make the politicians rich for supporting the cheap labor express nothing will happen.
My argument is this is an idiot, emotionally driven response to the problem and in the end will have no effect other than give the left another tool to use against the right in the next Dim administration and to legitimize even more Federal interference in the lives of ordinary folks ....
Simply enough, the folks on K street aren't paying the price. It is the rest of the country who lose work/jobs, who take up the slack in tax revenues (or debt), who suffer the injuries perpetrated by criminal elements, whose very voice is muted and distorted by the influx of voices which should have no presence, much less say in how things are done, who are not of this country. That the greed of a few, whether they be billionaires or not influences those who are making policy contrary to law is allowed to supersede the law the rest of us must abide by IS the problem. If those policies were not implemented whether for pecuniary or political gain (same thing in the long run), then someone is defying the law which the rest of us must abide by, at our expense.
Yep, We, The People, have a dog in this fight. Our safety, security, and ultimately, our prosperity depend on enforcing those laws, and if those entrusted with doing so practice willful nonfeasance, they should be removed from office; if they are defiant accessories to breaking those laws and announce such, then removed in handcuffs if necessary.
For those who consider their acts to be "Civil Disobedience", they should go check their Little Red Book (Mao's Revolutionary Handbook). Prison time is a real risk of such disobedience, and if it is at all morally or legally justified, the place to address that opinion is in the courts, and ultimately the Congress where such law is made for the security of this Nation; the nation our countrymen (and women) and even ourselves, have paid a price (sometimes the ultimate price) to secure for generations. What is the point of having our military around the world to 'make the Homeland safe', if we leave the doors and windows open to invasion at home?
Who among us would routinely be able to announce in national or international media that we would suborn and assist through nonfeasance countless felonies and not suffer any consequences for that action?
The K Street crowd and those they represent aren't the ones who suffer the depredations of their influence, and perhaps they should, could the general public boycott their wares produced with illegal labor.
