ACLU opposes enforcing immigration laws

May 6, 2006 |

Does it really surprise anyone that US laws are meaningless… and that people let the ACLU twist the intent and meaning of the Constitution has remained a mystery to me. No one should honor their lies and their ‘view’ of the Constitution. At least some county leaders are resisting.

Butler County leaders are moving forward with a plan to require anyone who seeks a building permit to sign a pledge not to hire illegal immigrants. Random job site inspections also would be conducted by the Butler County Auditor???s Office, with results reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Butler leaders plan to spend several weeks asking home builders, Hispanic groups and others to weigh in on the proposal.

They also plan to hold public meetings with federal immigration officials and Butler???s sheriff and prosecutor???s offices.

But after learning about Butler County???s plan Friday, Link said the ACLU is closely watching this proposal.

If the plan is adopted as it stands, the agency contends it would be illegal.

The group also would be willing to file a legal challenge, Link said.

???Random checks are a violation of the Fourth Amendment,??? she said. ???You do not have to let the police onto your property or work site unless they have warrants. You can???t make people sign pledges that would let them sign away their Fourth Amendment right.???

Link said she was trying to contact Butler County commissioners Friday to learn more about their plan and to offer some advice.

???When an idea is just not very good, we kind of wait around and let it play itself out,??? she said. ???But when an idea is this far off the mark, we feel more urgency to weigh in.???

Link said Butler County???s approach to illegal immigration is flawed in general.

???Local law enforcement is not empowered to enforce federal law,??? she said. ???What exactly are they trying to address? They are making these claims that people are illegal, but how do they know? A lot of what is going on in Butler County is manufactured by political figures.???

Here is the response. You have to love it.

Butler County Commissioner Mike Fox, who made the proposal, dismissed the objections.

???The ACLU will oppose any attempt to enforce immigration laws in America,??? he said. ???These are the same people that sued the volunteers who were trying to protect the borders. They don???t even think it???s lawful to protect this nation???s borders. So I don???t really care what the ACLU???s opinion is.

???What I care about is businesses complying with the law. What we are trying to do is very simple. We are trying to make sure that the federal agencies responsible for protecting America do so.???

Stay tuned for ACLU Stupidity. Let me say… selected illustrations. I don’t think there is enough server space to list it all.

    By the ACLU’s “logic” random inspections of restaurants is also unconstitutional without a warrent. What pinheads.
