Limited resources limit immigration law enforcement

A few months back Georgia adopted an aggressive law to crack down on illegal immigrants. Since that time, throngs of protests have occurred, as well as many people moving back to their home countries.

This seems to be entirely different from what the Federal government announced this week.

According to a report from the Associated Press, federal officials say they have limited resources for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants and are focusing on expelling violent criminals and those who pose threats to national security.

They said they are now giving special consideration to illegal immigrants who were brought here as children, high school graduates and others who served or are serving in the U.S. military.

This stark contrast could give a huge boost to those opposing the law here in Georgia. But to be fair, their have been questions on how law enforcement could even carry out these laws due to limited resources.

It will be interesting to see if anything else comes out of this news.
