There was a time in America when you were arrested when you did something illegal. That was then; this is now. Just for the record, crossing into America illegally is a crime. Technically, illegal aliens should be sent back to their home countries. It has been a while since we have seen that happen.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill Wednesday that will allow both state and local enforcement officials to arrest illegal immigrants who reentered the U.S., as well as authorizing state courts to deport them.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bill\u00a0SF 2340<\/a>, which is expected to go into effect July 1, allows the state to enforce immigration laws and prevent illegal reentry into the state,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to a press release. If caught by officials within the\u00a0state<\/a>, illegal immigrants could potentially face up to two years in prison.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Biden Administration has failed to enforce our nation\u2019s immigration laws, putting the protection and safety of Iowans at risk. Those who come into our country illegally have broken the law, yet Biden refuses to deport them. This bill gives Iowa law enforcement the power to do what he is unwilling to do: enforce immigration laws already on the books,\u201d Reynolds stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n While the Iowa Legislature passed the bill last month, there appear to be questions and concerns over how officials should go about the new addition.<\/strong><\/p>\n Des Moines Police Chief Dana Wingert told the\u00a0Associated Press<\/a>\u00a0in March that immigration status is not a part of the department\u2019s efforts to protect the community. Wingert told the outlet they were \u201cnot equipped, funded or staffed\u201d to aid in the new responsibilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n
