We Have A Right
States Can Protect Their Citizens From Harm

Remember Proposition 187? (1994)
SECTION 1. Findings and Declaration. -- The People of California find and declare as follows: [...] That they have a right to the protection of their government from any person or persons entering this country unlawfully. (Killed by Mexico)
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- December 26
    
Russell Pearce: You know, clearly, states have inherent authority to enforce federal law, including immigration law. Had Congress not wanted the states to enforce these laws, they have what is called plenary powers. They could have invoked those and preempted the states from enforcing these laws. They didn't do that. In fact, Congress has made it clear it's always been the intents for the states.
    When do not states have a constitutional responsibility for their citizens for the economic harm, the crime and damage and the cost to the taxpayers, the legal citizens? We have a constitutional responsibility. The citizens have a constitutional right and it's time for our politicians and our policy makers to quit hiding and put America first, put the American citizens first and enforce the law.
