Actually that is how that works. Why do people not know this?
Ok so yes we want the illegals gone and yes Karen is a fucking retard. States should be assisting the federal government in getting rid of illegal aliens. But here is one example of how much people don't understand how America is supposed to work. State government trumps the federal government. People > State > Federal. That is the power structure. The federal government does NOT have power over the States. They use issues like this to make people beg for government overreach. People need to read a history book instead of twitter.
Yes, on paper that is how it should work. However, for the last 160ish years, that hasn't been the case. Thanks, Lincoln.
Of course, Obama and the other commies in his administration can be thanked as well since they won that immigration case against Arizona. Then there's DC handing out money to cities and states for doing things that DC deemed needed to be done. .08 BAC is a good example of this, DC withheld gas taxes for interstate maintenance.
Correct. I'm not arguing whether or not the actions taken by the states is good or not, which it's not. I just find it disturbing that people don't know how our government is supposed to work. Makes it pretty easy for them to control everyone if most of the people don't understand the rules. It makes me sick that people will beg for government overreach as long as it aligns with their world view. Very few here on Poal and IRL actually want freedom. They just want the world to burn in the hopes that "their personal idea of freedom" will rise from the ashes.
Nope, I'm with you. I just recognize that to get close to my idea of freedom, I have to use the tools they've setup and put in place.
