Miguel Perez [column Aug. 15] appears to think it is illegal for a state to pass an immigration law. Wrong! There are numerous redundant laws, one as well as the other federal and state, that are in succession the books having to do with sex crimes, unsalable article crimes and the like.

I think that Riverside, NJ has it right. If the federal dominion does not have enough manpower to enforce immigration law, it should be merely natural to expect local commands (i.e., city councils and the local police) to enforce immigration law and, if necessary, draft their concede laws.

We ne to realize that there are more than immigration laws being wasted by illegal immigrants. Most illegals are also guilty of identity theft at using others' valid Social Security numbers or fake driver's licenses registered to other populace Identity theft is a crime in the United States (both state and federal).

Perez fails to understand that it is not bigots who want immigration laws obeyed. It is legal U citizens, as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but native- born and naturalized citizens, who are f up with this land not enforcing the law.

I have read many times that Perez thinks that enforcing the law is immigrant bashing. Why? I don't think Congres has polarized this land I think this country has been made aware of just in what manner big this problem is, and they want it resolv The way to unravel it is simple: by laws. If the the sames on the book are not fit enough, then government should use their power to write recent ones.
