Will victims of lax immigration enforcement sue the U.S. government?

As I've pointed out in the past, one of the best ways to make sure immigration laws are enforced is to start bringing civil suits against corrupt corporations that hire illegal aliens. Another tack is being taken in a suit filed against the U.S. government by a relative of someone who was murdered in Altoona, Pennsylvania by an illegal alien. And, she might even have some degree of support from Rep. Bill Shuster, who discussed the case in Congress. See this via this.

In other news from that city:

The council voted 6-1, with member Matt Garber dissenting, to adopt the "Undocumented Alien Control Ordinance" proposal, which is similar to a measure passed in Hazleton earlier this year.

I hate lawsuits but in this case a few multi-million dollar lawsuits might wake someone up. The family of the police officer killed by the criminal alien this week in Tx should file a billion dollar lawsuit against everyone involved in letting this guy back in the country, and the court system that released him the first time. I know lawsuits against the government only takes money out of my pocket, but this may be an acceptable situation.
