DeSantis rails against illegal immigrants and warns the immigrants bused to DC that Florida will enforce the law. These immigrants are here legally, which DeSantis knows, and the law says they are free to travel anywhere.

Republicans playing politics with the poor and desperate. It's disgusting.

Then there's...


Republicans are destroying the integrity of the country I love. FoxNews/Pravda is despicable. These are legal immigrants. Everyone involved knows this or they would have been shipped back across the border instead of DC. If you're a neo-conservative buying into this demonizing of immigrants you're a traitor to the ideals upon which this nation was founded. The republican party is a criminal enterprise.

What part of states are not legally entitled to enforce federal law does deathsantis not understand?

And the left's open border policies aren't playing games with these same desperate people?
The left does not have an open border policy. Anyone who believes this is brainwashed by far right media. The "left" is following immigration law as written. These same laws were in effect under Trump, who liked to break them.

Yes, the Progressive left most certainly does.

Who enforces federal civil rights law? States or the federal government?
Both state and federal agencies are responsible for civil rights law enforcement. The Justice Dept., the FBI, The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the Department of Health and Human Services, are federal. States have their own agencies under various names in various states.

States have no ability to prosecute anyone for FEDERAL civil rights violations...

Yes, but states can cooperate with federal law enforcement on areas of federal law, like immigration; something the open borders left in many states has done its best to prohibit (think "sanctuary city").

Certainly they CAN cooperate but as indicated in NUMEROUS supreme court opinions, they are not REQUIRED to cooperate... You know, that whole states rights thingy the alt-right use when convenient but forgets when it stings..

Our borders are not open. Why do you continue to tell that lie? Is it only because it works and you don't care about the integrity of the argument?

Didn't say they did. States also have civil rights laws and codes. Here's one agency that enforces them.

  • The Department of Fair Employment and Housing is the state agency charged with enforcing California’s civil rights laws. The mission of the DFEH is to protect the people of California from unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, businesses, and state-funded programs, and from bias-motivated violence and human trafficking.

Don't think you've got the Haiku structure quite right there.

There is no such policy.
I'd really like to see this policy. Is it written somewhere? Did Biden state the doors are open? Is Biden breaking any laws in admitting aliens? Enlighten me.
There is no such policy.

The Federal Government. Now back to the point. Do you think it reasonable when states actively work against federal law enforcement or just when it comes to immigration law?
