Star-Ledger Editorial: Immigration law lacks purpose

That's the question that comes to mind the more we read about the federal program that gives local police officers the training and authority to enforce immigration law .

[information]

>>But 287(g) seems to unleash the worst anti-immigrant sentiment in many communities. In one North Carolina county participating in the program, a local citizens group found after perusing arrest records that most of the illegals processed for deportation had been picked up for traffic offenses.<<

Anti-Immigrant? When will you people understand that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and everything to do with Illegal entrants.

No matter how these invaders are caught...they should be processed and deported with a fine added to thier countries remittance from the USA.

287G and E-verify should be mandatory throughout the USA.

Citizens are tired of waiting for the government to DO THIER JOB.
