IF a City chooses not to enforce Immigration laws, Then why should citizens of the city obey any of the laws?


Do cities enforce smoking bans and drug laws because they do not want the illeagal immigrants to be harmed by second hand smoke or buy pot?

The city government is voted in. The best thing you can do is inform people of their choices and help vote them out of office in the next election. If you break the law, you are no better than them and like them should be punished.

because they are enforced

Laws should be followed but no one ever goes the speed limit... so is law enforcement sending the wrong message. No.

Cities only have so much money to enforce laws. I'd rather them spend it on tracking down murderers and the like, but this doesn't make breaking the laws right either. If citizens are concerned they should form a collition or a neighborhood watch. Here in Arizona they do that on the border for illegal immigrants. Public outcry forces officials to act.

Immigration laws are federal laws enforced by federal agency. Some cities are using trespassing laws as a lower means to enforce immigration laws. Some cities have passed local laws making it illegal to rent to illegal aliens or that a business can lose it's business license for employing illegal aliens. Currently there are groups that are trying to fight the Constitutionality of these laws.

We shouldn't but we always do. Such is the case in Escondido,Ca. ACLU came to that town and scared the city officials to death. SO they dropped a passed law requiring all landlords to prove all tenants are American citizens or face stiff penalties. All illegals would have been evicted within a month. The city would not accepted the phony id and ss cards but instead would have done background checks on all tenants.

the law is there for all to abide by and be protected by. it's not about who is legal and who isn't.

Murder is wrong no matter who commits it or who the victim is, right?

The constitution protects everybody. Ever notice how it seems American criminals have more civil rights than the people they're robbed, raped or murdered?
