Good grief, man! You really DON'T read the stories you post! The story YOU posted says, and I quote, "The law, which takes effect in September and which critics say is the most anti-immigrant since a 2010 Arizona law, will allow police officers to ask about the immigration status of anyone they detain, including during routine traffic stops." The word is ALLOW. It does not REQUIRE police to do this. What the story DOES say is this: " Texas' new "sanctuary cities" law on Monday, saying that requiring local law enforcement to help enforce U.S. immigration law." It requires local officers to help enforce US immigration law, NOT to question every Tom, Dick and Harry regarding immigration status.
Secondly, Abbott himself says, "Isn't this quasi-insane that we have to pass a law to force law enforcement officers to comply with the law?" Abbott said Monday on "Fox and Friends." In other words, Abbott is enforcing EXISTING law regarding illegal immigration! There is NO division regarding enforcement of federal law! You REALLY think that only the feds can enforce federal laws?
And finally, for the frosting on the cake, guess who said THIS? "And did we miss the part where Homeland Security wants local police, not ICE, to take point on that?" That was an exact quote FROM YOU! I agree because ICE obviously cannot be everywhere in all 50 states, and I rest my case.
