Velte pointed out that "There is no way for a citizen to know who is here legally or not. In fact, under Austin’s ‘sanctuary city’ policy, not even the police officer at the door of the gunshow was allowed to ask a person’s immigration status, yet the average Texan inside the show is expected to assume that a person standing before them with a Texas driver’s license is in the country illegally just because they look Mexican and speak Spanish." Velte noted that the federal government’s lawsuit against Arizona was based on that very type of conduct: Concluding someone could be here illegally based on their looks or their language. [More]Just so we're clear: Every one of us who conducts a private sale is in danger of the same destruction of our lives.
And then there's this:
Federal prosecutors said Ronning sold two gun silencers, seven assault weapons and a machine gun to undercover agents and others posing as Mexican citizens without identification at the Yosemite Boulevard business.It looks like they failed at using Mexico to get new "gun laws" passed, so now they're just using Mexicans--both real and simulated.
I smell set up. And the questions raised in the first case as to why the violator has not been pursued tell me it's because you don't discard working assets.
