Enforcing Borders 

     Progress is being made, while Trump won't take office for another 44 days or so. 

     Arizona voters approved a proposition allowing state and local law enforcement to arrest migrants crossing the border unlawfully. This is similar to a Texas law that remains in litigation. Liberals of course argue this will encourage racial profiling. 

     Proponents say the act targets bad actors, regardless of race. The measure also increases penalties for fentanyl dealing and makes it a crime to use false documents to apply for public benefits or employment. Iowa and Florida also have cracked down on illegal immigration. 

     Law enforcement must have probable cause to arrest and detain an immigrant.
