House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Caif., told an audience that included "ILLEGAL" immigrants that enforcement of America's immigration law is "un-American." - Referring to work site enforcement actions by ICE agents, Pelosi said, "We have to have a change in policy and practice and again ... I can't say enough, the raids must end. The raids must end - Since when is it wrong to enforce our laws on those who clearly break it ?
Unjust or unconstitutional laws should not be enforced. That's the entire reason the executive branch is separate from the legislative branch. The executive is not merely a a puppet of the legislative, but shares responsibility for ensuring that the laws it enforces are just as well as Constitutional.
...but until the legislative branch makes a decision on what is unjust or unconstitutional, then the laws need to be enforced.
Everytime she opens her mouth, her foot enters...she'd be back peddling on this one, if AIG wasn't taking all the press.

I agree with this comment...Pelosi's comments were "pandering to the crowd" as well as "insulting to American citizens who consider themselves to be patriotic, who obey the rule of law."
I don't understand the Speaker of the House being against enforcing law - a 5th grader, using common sense can put together, illegal means criminal.
I agree we should enforce our laws on those who clearly break them...
Let's start with Bush...
