Again, I am not suggesting that police stop people to see if they are legal. I am suggesting that while we have someone stopped for another reason, we confirm that they are not breaking our immigration law. The "Real ID" laws that came about after 9/11 make this pretty easy.
The vast majority of police encounters will occur during traffic stops. The vast majority of people stopped by police will have a driver's license that confirms their legal status. Everyone stopped by police should have some form of identification that confirms their right to operate a motor vehicle. If the driver broke that law, or if a person is in the car with someone who broke that law, then yes, I believe we should verify that they aren't also breaking immigration law.

Are you in favor of municipal law enforcement officers enforcing federal gun laws? Should an officer let a guy slide if he has a pistol with the serial numbers filed off, or a sawed off shotgun? Of course local officers should enforce federal law. And again, it makes more sense for officers to focus on crimes most common in their area. My rural county has a big meth problem, so officers actively look for that to curb it. A more urban county probably focuses more on cocaine or heroin. An area with a large number of illegal immigrants, like the Arpaio was in, should probably be on the lookout for that.

It's so frustrating to like the majority of his policies and but dislike so much of what he says.
Still believe he has served his purpose as a bland candidate like the Republicans always run can't break through the propaganda of the MSM. Hopefully now the country realizes that the failed liberal policies did nothing but hurt the American people as a whole. Well, I guess everyone but the wealthy and powerful.

Read that out loud , to yourself. Slowly
Ponder for a second that his mouth puts words to his soul and his soul is revealed in those policies you so much admire.
The distance between the Access Hollywood tape and women's policies
The distance between Mexican rapists and pardoning Arpaio
The distance between his statements on NATO and his ties to Putin (so he could greedily build a hotel in Moscow - I might add)
...............................
To me the frustration would be in trying to make a silk purse out of the sows ear of his statements/policy .
They are one in the same

If you haven't done so, it's illuminating to read a thorough account of why Arpaio's immigration sweeps were determined to have been illegal, and why he was given the contempt charges.
As for your question, I think there's an overwhelming public interest in enforcing federal gun laws. Given priorities and resources available, there is IMO less pressing reason to devote those local resources on rounding up the undocumented. The remedy is comprehensive immigration reform, not LLE. Arpaio's Maricopa County is a perfect example of why, when you consider both the massive civil and human rights violations and the fact that they, for example, disbanded their sexual assault task force so they could devote their resources to being the immigration cops.

Trump's floundering is so embarrassing. I feel he's actually trying to be "presidential" but still coming off like a clueless, narcissist. He just can't help himself. Every other President navigated these dead soldier moments with the respect and humility that the situation calls for, but he can't help but make everything about himself.
Politics and policy aside, he truly is a sick person.

Scott Adams had a blog entry a while back that talked about this some, but also broke down how it impacts his polling. Basically said something like, people don't like him, don't trust him to represent America well, but trust him to do well on the big issues. I'll try to find it.

How did we get to a place where The President of the United States has historically low approval at the same time we have recent highs for consumer confidence?
Almost everything President Trump does has an impact on the economy, and on consumers. That includes national security, immigration, taxes, health care, budgets, treaties, government regulations, and international relations. If the public is optimistic about the economy, that is normally the same as having confidence in the president. At least on the big-ticket items.
The types of presidential actions that have lower impact on the economy include court appointments, opinions on confederate statues, NFL kneeling, transgenders in the military, birth control funding, unpresidential tweets, poorly-executed disavowals, hyperbole that fails the fact-checking, seemingly unnecessary political attacks, and all manner of obnoxious presidential behavior. The majority of citizens disapprove of President Trump on at least some of those topics.
I don’t think we’ve ever seen something like this before. A majority of citizens disapprove of President Trump while simultaneously having confidence he’ll get most of the big stuff right and the economy will reflect it.

Pretty much, but maybe more like "He's such a jackass, but I couldn't vote for Hillary. Why couldn't Rand/Jeb/Ben/Marco win the primary?"

Under Trump, gains against ISIS have ‘dramatically accelerated’
Nearly a third of territory reclaimed from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria since 2014 has been won in the past six months, due to new policies adopted by the Trump administration, a senior State Department official said Friday.
Brett McGurk, the State Department’s senior envoy to the anti-Islamic State coalition, said that steps President Trump has taken, including delegating decision-making authority down from the White House to commanders in the field, have “dramatically accelerated” gains against the militants.
Combined Islamic State losses in both countries since the group’s peak control in early 2015 total about 27,000 square miles of territory — 78 percent of militant holdings in Iraq and 58 percent in Syria. About 8,000 square miles have been reclaimed under Trump, McGurk said in a briefing for reporters.
.....
Among the successes of the current policy, he said, are the near-cessation of civilian displacements inside Syria and Iraq, and the return of hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians to their homes in places previously occupied by the Islamic State.

The Syrian city of Raqqa was liberated from ISIS fighters Tuesday, a commander with U.S.-backed Syrian forces said, announcing the "fall of the capital of terrorism."
Brig. Gen. Talal Sillo told The Associated Press on Tuesday there were no longer clashes going on in the city, and that a formal declaration would follow.
....
The loss deprived the terror group of the capital of its so-called caliphate, which has dwindled from a land mass spanning two countries to a sliver of space in Syria.

Dow hits 23,000 for the first time
The Dow Jones industrial average rose on Tuesday, breaking above 23,000 for the first time.
The 30-stock index reached the milestone just 76 days after first topping 22,000. If the Dow closes above 23,000, it would mark the fourth-fastest 1,000-point increase in the index's long history on a closing basis, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior Index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
