I thought it was a federal law that legal immigrants HAD to have their papers, or green cards, on them at all times in order to prove that they were rightfully allowed here in the country. That is the law if your Swedish, Canadian, Chinese, Albanian, Australian, whatever, that is the law.
It was my understanding that if you had come into the country ILLEGALLY (key word), which according to the law that is on the books, that is an arrestable offense. You have BROKEN the law whether you agree with it or not.
So, If there are laws on the books that are supposed to be followed and upheld by judges and the courts ( and the sole purpose of a judge is to uphold the law, not write laws or dictate policy), then how can a federal judge rule AGAINST these laws by saying that immigrants no longer have to carry papers showing that they are rightfully here? How can a judge DICTATE POLICY by saying that law enforcement can no longer ascertain the immigration status of an individual that has broken another law in one form or another, not by racial profiling. How can a judge CHANGE a federal law.
Has our legal system gone stark raving mad! Where is the public outrage concerning a federal judge that won't uphold the laws that they have sworn to protect. I don't get it.
The judge that made this ruling should immediately be removed from the bench unless someone can explain how, in sound mind and through interpretation, they were able to twist the law so completely that their ruling makes sense.
