Are we now a nation of "selective enforcement" and "selective prosecution"?

There are over 10,000 laws nationwide that are enforced selectively. Which means law enforcement KNOWS crimes are committed, but refuse to enforce the law.

Illegal immigration increases the property tax liability and state income tax liability of every state's citizen. Should the Federal Government be sued by the states for this economic impact?

Illegals do vote, illegally. One county compared voter rolls with jury summons and found "illegal voters" stating they were "not citizens" on their jury summons.

Not one of these individuals were prosecuted for committing this felony!

    We've always been that way. Selective enforcement was used to discriminate against African Americans for centuries. In fact it is still used that way today.

    What do you mean by "now"? We have always prioritized enforcement and selectively enforced.

    We should take all the money away, so nothing could be done.
