Reply to comment by FarmerExternal in Reminder that Kittleman and Yungmann have donated THOUSANDS of dollars to repeal the Liberty Act this election by wedoalittlepolling

The Liberty Act won't make anyone "legal" or not and as far as I know it won't interfere with any process they're going through to do things the "right" way. It simply prohibits county services from sharing immigration status with ICE and allows normal people to live their normal lives without fear after any sort of contact with county authorities.

You’re right, it doesn’t make people legal citizens. It prevents the County government from enforcing a federal law that they have a duty to enforce

Well that's the thing. This doesn't just apply to the police. It applies to all social services. And none of them are actually enforcing the federal law. Only the federal authorities can do that. Hence Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Let them enforce the laws and receive no help from the county.
