L.I.C.A.

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article started as a soapbox article, and has gone through some revisions that do not alleviate the POV problems, but only turn it into a battle ground. Further, as far as I have been able to ascertain, there is no such legislation as the Local Immigration Control Act. What DOES exist is Section 287.g of the Immigration and National Security Act of 1996, which has a much better article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The Local Immigration Control Act does not technically exist. However, it is a combination of various illegal immigration controls which are advocated by US senators and experts in the various fields the LICA affects. As for the writing of the article, that is being addressed.LocutusofBorg01 (talk) 19:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If the act does not exist, then there can't be an article about it. If you can name an entity or organization that DOES exist than you can write about that, but otherwise this is all just vague speculation.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. I have at the moment no opinion on keeping/deletion, but I would point out that the article should at least identify what country it is about. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I just assumed the US. Oh, dear, my Amreicocentrism is showing. Again.  Dloh  cierekim  14:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Per the comment added above by LocutusofBorg, the LICA is not an actual law or bill in ANY country. However, the concept discussed is germaine to the United States.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yah, but is an OR discussion instead of an article.  Dloh  cierekim  15:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

As much fun as it is to watch you try to figure out what the L.I.C.A. is, I might as well just tell you. It only sort of exists. Jacob B. and I are debaters in the NCFCA debate league. Our topic last year was illegal immigration. So, instead of doing something lame like "build a border wall", we decided to make up an entirely new bill. We combined mass deportation, social security card reform, and Proposition 287g to form the Local Immigration Control Act (the original name was Local Immigration Enforcement Act, but LICA is much cooler than LIEA). There you go, the LICA would work in practice, but Congress would never pass it. Oh, and is about the USA LocutusofBorg01 (talk) 14:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
