Enforcing The Laws Is Not Popular With Progressives
How did the country get to the point where so many people believe that laws they don’t like can and should be just ignored? Barack Obama led them there during is eight years in office. It was his Justice Department that picked and chose which laws they would support and which they would not. It’s a combination of anarchy and the royal notion that the King makes the laws.
That action filtered down to lower levels of government. Now we have a new leader for the DOJ. He has taken the position that all laws must be enforced, that for laws to be reversed it is the job of the Legislative branch to do so.
Progressives who have had their way with the country for so long are reacting with shock and horror. They are not in control but they are resorting to hyperbole because it’s all they have.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D., N.Y.), the first former illegal immigrant in Congress, argued on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday morning that the Trump administration’s plan to defund cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration laws was the equivalent of putting a gun to the head of the American people.”
Also, California’s Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye alleges that the rule of law is being challenged because illegals are being arrested – some in the courthouse. She worries that illegals will be traumatized. She is correct. They will begin to worry about whether they will be arrested. That is how it should be.

When we hear of immigration arrests and the fear of immigration arrests in our state courthouses, I am concerned that that kind of information trickles down into the community, the schools, the churches, the families, and people will no longer come to court to protect themselves or cooperate or bear witness,” Cantil-Sakauye said. “I am afraid that will be the end of justice and communities will be less safe and victimization will continue.”
