Its premise is radically flawed,unconstitutional & illegal.And a component of it ,Delivering Amnesty to millions of illegal non citizens is a slap in the face to the Republic for which it stands, where federal immigration laws were set 100 years ago.

A slap in the face to assimilation!

I only wish you were right. But the Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government can't compel states or cities to assist the Feds in law enforcement. It has to do with states' rights and the federal nature of the US governmental system. It's a Constitutional thing.

Imagine the stench and the garbage ugh

The Federalist papers may explain thinking behind consitution. But they are not law. This is something from AI that explains the actual legal decision. I think it stinks but it's the law:

The Supreme Court case Printz v. United States established the anti-commandeering doctrine, which prevents the federal government from compelling state and local governments to enforce federal laws, including immigration laws. This means the federal government cannot force state and local law enforcement to implement or administer federal immigration programs. While states and localities can choose to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, they cannot be legally required to do so. 

Federal immigration laws supersede state immigration  laws. The arbiters

of the Constitution , the SCOTUS, sides with this. 

And now come 26 million who have crossed the border illegally, as opposed to legal immigrants who the laws were designed , drafted and democratically approved for.
 

“The United States is a federalist system. In other words, states have some freedom to determine their laws. But state governments still must remain within specific parameters in the laws they pass and implement”.

26 million non citizens many( not all ) living in

blue states are going to be in shock when they realize they can’t stay or rely on state immigration laws!

 

“This careful judicial consideration reaffirms that while states have sovereignty in many areas, immigration must remain under the exclusive control of the federal government. This aligns with the principles laid out by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, which continues to guide the balance between state rights and federal authority in matters impacting the nation's integrity and international standing”.

True. But that just means that immigration issues are the feds' responsibility.  Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that the Feds can compel states to cooperate.

Amnesty sanctions illegals ,illegality ! 

 

Good question about the crisis the dem party created , the optics are so telling,Sanctuary.

 

Crime & Sanctuary, a feeding frenzy !

Bailing  out the Criminal alien for them to abuse the system.

If their incarcerated ,  do their jail  time, and are illegally in the country Sanctuary

treats them like US citizens. 

  

 

Good question about the crisis the dem party created , the optics are so telling,Sanctuary.

They just let them go free

 

 

 

This is just my humble opinion.

 

United States was turning a blind eye on those who crossed the border illegally for a long time. I am surprised an illegal alien could register for, and be paying taxes - should that person not be arrested, jailed and deported the moment he/she shows up to register?

 

There are many people (including from the countries where illegal migration is happening) that went through the legal processes to get to the same. Maybe they have green cards, maybe they are US citizens - but they went through all the hell of getting there the right way.

 

How would these people feel seeing that others who ignored all of that, took an illegal shortcut, but end up with the same rights? It is utterly unfair to those who follow the laws, who follow the rules, who bent themselves backwards to please the government officials to get there.

 

US should be, and that's not from the moment Trump got elected, be actively searching, fining, jailing and deporting any illegals who have either illegally entered the country or have overstayed their permission of stay or are violating the conditions on their visas/entry documents. And the same should be done by every other country on this Planet.

 

The only part of this that I disagree with is when someone criticizes the government, the visa is revoked without their knowledge and then arrested and deported, like what was happening with students arrested by ICE. United States is the land of the free, of the free speech, the freedom of opinion, and that should allow for peaceful expression of opposition, especially when it has nothing to do with the government itself, talking about another country (Israel/Palestine in this case). But at least if someone cancels your visa, and turns you from legal to illegal, the minimum should be that you get informed of it and given short time to appeal or pack up and leave.

 

Can you imagine Thailand decided that because of something you wrote on this forum, your visa is revoked, you are now in Thailand illegally, which you have no idea of as you weren't informed, police grabs you off the street, takes all your belongings and sends you to IDC at the airport awaiting deportation? That is a police state that you would not expect United States to become.

The police state ? Chaos coming in, 30 million. Chaos going out, the criminals that came and continued to be criminals.

Clinton ,Bush, Obama , Biden deported millions.. The Biden /Harris admin   forced Trump to Enforce the Federal Law by allowing 8-12 million come in unvetted. Over 600k are criminals.

Thailand is a deflection.

Because illegals don't pose a threat to those of us who live outside of sanctuary cities? The priority should be for areas that voted for Trump. If not for us, illegal-loving Harris would now be President. Let the sanctuary cities stew in illegal immigrant violence. That should bring them around to cooperating with ICE.

List the cities and their contribution in Federal taxes.

 

Then list the cities that are net recipients of federal money. 

I don't know if  leftist Sanctuary policies were initiated  because of a pre conceived plan of  allowing mass migration but for sure the 10's of millions of illegals that flooded these jurisdictions have created chaos.

You don't get to prescribe homework. If you have evidence to offer, provide it.

Sanctuary states:

Sanctuary states and localities have policies that obstruct most forms of cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Its time to purge the illegals! Goin after the Voter database,starting with Calif.

 

The politicians who protect the oppressed countries of the world ,like California don't deserve

federal funding,

LA sanctuary policy defenders: This is who you protect. Meanwhile, sanctuary policies put the public and VICTIMS at risk. 

 

Sanctuary saps cities are out of control. Round them up and remove them . And some of these governors are getting close to treason .
