A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.
John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.
The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws.
The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for immigration status, is not "good government," Morton said.

Silly states! You can't just go around enforcing Federal laws! Only the Federal Govt can do that...so we just won't accept your enforcement of our own laws.


I realize it's against the Dem's ideals to actually enforce laws, but this is pretty stupid.
 
Ironic since if the feds would do their job, AZ wouldn't have made its law.
 
I find it hilarious that there is such an outrage over a state enforcing something that is illegal
 
Normally I would like this but I hate homeland security. It's nothin but a domestic spying agency
 
I dont understand what youre saying so Im going to take it as an insult.

Wouldnt Border Patrol handle this shit? Or some immigration related department?

What the fuck does homeland security even do... besides make airports miserable without actually providing any more security?
 
hey, swineskin, google is your friend, and today you are able to play PacMan on it.

Homeland Security is an umbrella department.. incorporated a lot of agencies including INS
 
They are not doing a very good job, so either they are not with INS or they want the illegals in here.
 
This whole debate is so pointless. Local PDs and SOs in AZ were already making apprehensions of illegals before this law, all that's changed is the pretext they use to make the stops. This comment was especially asinine considering their arrests can only help increase the rather mediocre level of interior enforcement we have in this country. Truthfully there is so much politcal bullshit surrounding ICE operations it's amazing they get anything done.
