They'll be rewarded for their deeds with amnesty while Sheriff Joe will be prosecuted (like Ramos and Compeon were not so long ago).
Corruption in our government is rampant (ala the USSR of old), including our justice department which tolerates and protects those flagrantly disregarding US immigration laws (federal funds should be withheld to sanctuary cities!!!!!).
How can US citizens have any respect whatsoever for politicians and a judicial system that rewards criminals and punishes those who enforce and obey laws?
Good point!
“How can US citizens have any respect whatsoever for politicians and a judicial system that rewards criminals and punishes those who enforce and obey laws? “
They won’t and most of our citizenry will instead develop the same kind of disregard for the law that we are importing and follow the money into the narco/mordida culture.
Following is the perspective of a Mexican citizen/journalist about his own ‘culture’, translated for us by NAFBPO.

“The importance of obedience”
Full transl. of op/col. by Roman Revueltas, whose previous column appeared in the M3 Report of 10/28/09.
People throw out garbage. That means, we have to change the people. Imagine a country of very civilized people: people who don’t park their car in the middle of a cross street; people who take their turn in line; people who respect; people who do as they say; people who obey. Well, that country, of people who know how to behave, would be much more livable than another, for instance, where people do whatever they feel like doing without any consideration toward their fellow man.
Last week I was walking down the street and a fellow who was walking ahead of me stopped, picked up a plastic bottle dumped on the sidewalk and went into a store to put it in a waste bin. I waited for him to come out and congratulated him. I later thought that this is the way that all of us Mexicans ought to be. I ask you, then, to imagine a territory populated by orderly and reliable persons: almost paradise.
People usually follow rules for fear of punishment. This explains the colossal growth of criminality in Mexico due to the scandalous lack of punishment for the criminals: if you murder and nothing happens to you, well then, you kill again and you go on kidnapping. But, it’s not a matter of bringing up the death penalty scarecrow; it’s an issue of applying the laws, and nothing more. The great question is why is it that millions of citizens exist here who want to commit all sorts of infractions: throwing out garbage is a small transgression; ignoring a traffic light is a minor crime; assassinating a kidnapped child is a monstrosity perpetrated by a beast . Nevertheless, the common denominator of disobedience is present in all cases.
The more highly evolved individuals do not abstain from committing a crime for fear of jail but due to a clear conscience of what is right and what is wrong. Their personality has been structured based on moral values. That is precisely where our failure is as a society: Mexico is a jungle dominated by disobedient, quick tempered and irresponsible individuals, Calderon cannot change this. We change it ourselves.
