Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- December 26
Russell Pearce: You know,
clearly, states have inherent authority to enforce federal law,
including immigration law. Had Congress not wanted the states
to enforce these laws, they have what is called plenary
powers. They could have invoked those and preempted the states
from enforcing these laws. They didn't do that. In fact, Congress
has made it clear it's always been the intents for the states.
When do not states have a constitutional
responsibility for their citizens for the economic harm, the
crime and damage and the cost to the taxpayers, the legal citizens?
We have a constitutional responsibility. The citizens have a
constitutional right and it's time for our politicians and our
policy makers to quit hiding and put America first, put the American
citizens first and enforce the law.
