Nezua provides special commentary on the 287g provision of immigration law that deputizes local police with powers of border enforcement.

                          

Fixing our nation’s illegal immigration problem will undoubtbly result in one of the most contentious debates ever in American history.   Whether in 2009 or 2010, Comprehensive Immigration Reform will be passed.  What will be the fine details of such Comprehensive Immigration reform legislation remains to be seen, but such legislation will profoundly affect the future of this nation.

Get ready to be bombarded with all the scary and racist, hate filled arguments on why this Country should not pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform and why we should give mass deportations, or “attrition through enforcement” a chance.   Then get ready for massive celebration from the 12+ undocumented immigrants who will embrace their new-found American Citizenship, they’ll move on and quickly and quietly assimilate into our fabric of society, some have already begun such assimilation, but those anti-immigrant groups will remain, small in numbers, but increasingly vocal, persistent in their attempt to drive a wedge and stifle a cohesive and multi cultural America.
