#1 Oh, dear! This seems so harsh. Once we start arresting people for committing illegal acts, where will it all end?

When they came for the illegal aliens, I said nothing because I was not an illegal alien. When they came for the muggers, murderers and rapists, I said nothing because I was not a mugger, murderer or rapist. After that, things were kind of quiet. Nice!

#2 Since states cannot enforce federal laws, they will make a state law against illegal immigration.

Low tech, high concept.
Why didn't someone think of this sooner?
Brilliant!

#3 Hold them for a few months detention (in nice conditions). They won't earn any money and it will serve as a massive deterant for the next go around.

Then when they are deported don't just let them off at the US/Mexico border. Send them to the Guatamala/Mexican border. The additional time and distance required to get back to square one will serve as a further deterent, and even trying to get into Mexico from Guatamala will be a lesson in how brutal a border crossing can be.

#4 Opponents say the proposals will not be effective, noting that a similar strategy flopped last year in New Hampshire because states don't have authority to enforce federal immigration law. A judge dismissed the cases of illegal immigrants arrested on New Hampshire trespassing charges, ruling that the tactic was unconstitutional.

Isn't it amazing how judges find what they want to find? I mean if states and cities can override the 2nd Amendment and ban gun ownership, in fact or defacto, why can't the local governments likewise move along those who are illegally in their jurisdiction. What the judges are really saying, that it is all about power.

#5 Our beloved Governor Napolitas (D-Trial Laywers) won't sign it. She's way ahead in the polls [sigh], so doesn't need to tack to the right very much.
