Re: “What about the State prisons?”
Many states just turn over criminal aliens to the Feds.
The California “Sanctuary” state prison system has a large percentage of illegals who have been convicted on state crimes - from memory, like one third illegals.
Also, many states just release criminal aliens and give them a court date, even for violent crimes.
Here in Washington state, at least 50% of our “Ten Most Wanted” criminals consistently have Hispanic names, even though just 12% of our state population is Hispanic. Usually, they just don’t show up for trial, or they skedaddle back to Central America.
Yes. All the more reason that states should not be able to interfere with enforcement of immigration law.
