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 โ€œracial 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 โ€œcivil rights lawyerโ€: โ€œI 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 Iโ€™m pretty sure heโ€™d know, since he was one of the authors of the law.
