Minnesota House Republicans introduced a bill Monday that would prevent cities, counties and other local governments from making laws related to immigration enforcement. St. Paul, Minneapolis and Worthington have ordinances on the books that direct city employees to check the immigration status of their residents only in certain instances and instead leave immigration enforcement to federal officials.

#1 - Sun Feb 13, 2011 9:49 AM ESTThese “sanctuary cities” are the target of HF348, which would invalidate those local ordinances.
The bill, introduced by Republican Reps. Bob Barrett of Shafer, Mike Benson of Rochester, Steve Drazkowski of Mazeppa and Glenn Gruenhagen of Glencoe, also contains language that would prohibit local governments from providing immigration data to the Department of Homeland Security.

Let me see if I understand this correctly...the Federal Government has filed a lawsuit against the state of Arizona to prevent them from enforcing the laws against illegal immigration...and now we are going to have a bill that will force local governments to comply with the laws against illegal immigration...
Wouldn't it just be simpler all the way around for the Federal Government to enforce the laws against illegal immigration? Or am I missing something here?
Oh, yeah, that's right...they'd lose all those votes...which is FAR more important than stopping the flow of illegal immigrants helping to ruin the US economy.

If the feds would just do their job enforcing the laws things could be so much better. We all need to band together and vote All Incumbents OUT! Lets start with a clean slate and start over. How much worse could it be?
