Possible Criminal Charges Against Sanctuary City Leaders

[Doc Safari]

Whether or not anyone is actually prosecuted is almost beside the point. Forcing these "rebels" to spend time and money defending themselves in court might result in compliance with the law regardless of any actual "conviction" or resulting court order.

It's also true that some of the mavericks would ride this to the top of the liberal cred food chain, but the uglier this becomes the more the American people will become angry at the people who coddle illegals. Add to that the continuing stream of illegal alien crimes being reported, and people who support sanctuary cities will end up regretting their stance.

Wouldn't they just spend their city's money doing so? Although, that might not be a bad thing.

First off let me say I do not agree with Sanctuary Cities.

But I have a question. Would you have the same response to city or state leaders who say they would ignore federal gun control laws?

In my opinion, this is a non-sequitur or straw man argument. We're talking about an issue where the Fed is completely within it's Constitutional purview (immigration and border security) vs. an issue that is clearly contra-Constitutional (infringement of a right recognized in the 2nd Amendment). There is no paradox here and to try to equate the two is obfuscation.

Good question.
Sanctuary Cities are an example of a government body using the resources of its citizens, in some cases resources from a higher level of government, to take care of non citizens.

I have a different opinion on that than I do one level of government ensuring the constitutional rights of a citizen are protected from another level of government.

Well put. Also natural law (aka common sense) indicates that a passably civilized nation has a certain right to safeguard itself, similarly to a householder's right to control who does and does not come into his house and what they are allowed to do there. The 2A merely ratifies a natural law based right to defend oneself. Apparently politicians and legislators are unable or unwilling to grasp this.

When they start charging, I'd like to nominate Ambulance Chaser Inslee and Turd Ferguson of Washington, and Bloody Brownstain of Oregon, to be the first three examples to be made... start at the Upper Left Coast, sweep down it and spread out from there.

Personally, I'd like to see the WA/OR/CA Democrat parties on the wrong side of a RICO investigation, but... I'll take whatever tools for ending the careers of ambitious schmucks I can get.

As satisfying as it might be to see some of these sanctuary city leaders prosecuted, I don’t think it will happen. Nor do I think it is a good idea or a good precedent to set. As kwelz points out what if the issue were a 2nd Amendment issue where your local Sheriff wouldn’t play ball with a gun confiscation program? How would you feel then?

I think the best bet would be to cut federal funding for localities and states that don’t want to play ball. Then use that money to hire a metric shit ton of new ICE agents, and whatever other personnel are needed to process deportations. Send these extra bodies to these sanctuary cities and states. Then pay them bonuses to be as productive as possible. Build them their own holding facilities.

Hell have them wait outside local jails to start, plenty of inmates are illegally in the country nab them right as they hit the street. Put the new ICE facilities right across the street from the jail. Make it easy to get an agent there quickly. Use imminent domain to get the land to build the new ICE jails just to piss off the local governments and rub it in.

Hard to argue with most of this. Hell it would solve 99% of the issues I have with immigration. I don't care about DACA people or the guy who was brought here at 10 and is now 40 and is living a good life. I care about the scum who came here illegally and are committing crimes and harming our country.

What these guys said.

Ditto. Crims get a free pass to stay as long as they please after borderjumping, and for doing it the right way the girlfriend only gets to stay for brief vacations despite having us willing to take full care of her costs of living... *rolls eyes*

Sounds like they intend to fire on Fort Sumpter anytime now. New Kurt Schlichter novel come to life.
