We came down hard on the native Americans, took their land and made it ours.
Took? Partial truth is disingenuous.
Bought - traded - claimed - relocated - established boundaries - some Chiefs (head) agreed - some Chiefs (head) did not agree - are left with their Chiefs (still the head to exact their own laws ) - given enormous amount of financial funding, still to this day.
Eminent Domain - similar circumstances - between the head of household and the government. (except there is no endless financial funding), as with the Indian Nations, that are established excepted out of the US, yet within the land masses of the US.
We are now coming down hard on illegals in order to keep what is now our land.
Suggesting ILLEGAL breaking into a country should NOT be hard, or subject to HARD penalties? Would that also be favored, of ILLEGAL breaking into an individuals HOME?
And while it's true that our government looked the other way when farmers sneaked in illegal labor it must be remembered that our government changes every few years with new representatives may enforce immigration laws that have always been there.
The Constitution has not been changed, to ignore ILLEGAL activity.
Yes we do get opportunity to vote in NEW representatives, and Yes some representatives, remain for decades glued to honorable seats, dishonoring the office.
We experience this on our highways. Right now in Wisconsin the Interstate speed limit is 70, but the State Patrol is allowing travel at 80 (I drive 240 miles of the interstate several times weekly and can attest to this). If accidents increase or large numbers of drivers exceed 80 mph the State Patrol will begin to enforce the lawful speed limit to control the problem. The same dynamic is now in play with illegals. They have spun out of control so the standing law is being imposed. There is nothing illegal or immoral being done here.
Speed limits as you know are prima facie evidence.
Speed limits are routinely changed, by he who holds the purse strings.
The Feds wiggled the $$ offering to the states for highways....which came with the condition of 55 MPH, and the states government agreed.
Agree ILLEGAL aliens are out of control - in large part due to Governments being LAX, and their restriction on law ENFORCEMENT actually being able to ENFORCE the law.
