Broken-taillight immigration enforcement must be working, because the ACLU is against it. Their latest salvo is against Cobb County, near Atlanta, where the 287(g) program (which facilitates state/local cooperation with the feds) is supposedly causing โracial profilingโ and other bad things โ though no one seems to deny that the people who end up getting deported really are, you know, illegal aliens. And, like a dog to its vomit, these guys keep returning to the Big Lie of this part of the anti-enforcement push; in the words of a โcivil rights lawyerโ: โI believe that the original intention of the 287(g) program was to identify serious criminals who were already in detention and allow the federal government to deport them.โ Rep. Lamar Smith disagrees, saying it was intended for any kind of illegal immigrant who came to the attention of law enforcement. And Iโm pretty sure heโd know, since he was one of the authors of the law.
