Well, as the same person explained it, when he said he was **not** going 
to enforce the law, was, "Before this, if we found someone we felt was 
likely to be illegal, we handed them over to the border patrol (I assume 
this means the Mexican one), now they want me to put them in jail, waste 
tax payers money figuring out if we need to do something *then* turn 
them over to the same people. And, if I don't, I can be sued?"
