The Attorney General

Thanks for responding to my inquiry, which in fact was a no response. I will not bother you with further missives expressing demands that you elected officials honor your sworn Constitutional duties. You state your office has no authority or jurisdiction over the investigation or enforcement of immigration laws or the status of illegal immigration. And finally the worn out canard “immigration is primarily under the jurisdiction of the Federal government”. You are obviously parroting Gov. Beebe who states that the illegal Mexican and OTM crisis is a federal responsibility.

So again, let me state the law which you have in your possession. USC 8, Section 1324c:  All officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation of any provision of this section. That means ALL city, county, state, & federal officers.

Why would I want to contact the three congress people, most particularly the Delta Duchess, asking them to enforce federal law when they can only be described as Constitutional and judicial criminals?

The state police are yet another example of refusing to enforce existing laws.

Finally Dustin, your jitterbugging demands that I ask you, in ten sentences or less, what are the functions, i.e. job description for the office of Attorney General and how many attorneys are under your jurisdiction? 

Kindest regards,

Joe McCutchen
