I am not in favor of the laws denying funds to sanctuary cities. We don't need any more laws. Just charge the offending officials with aiding and abetting, or interfering with a federal investigation, or something along those lines.
The solution to every problem *isn't* a new law.

I'm not a proponent of any additional laws either but charging an elected official is fine, prosecuting and convicting one is another matter. Waste of time and money and in the end, they'll walk.

They got some dems to jump on board so hopefully the senate passes it.

So you think the arrest of a politician for flouting federal law could be possible without passing a law stating that it is illegal and punishable to disregard federal law regardless of state law?

Well, they don't need a law like that to prosecute any other federal crime.
If I knowingly harbor a bank robber, I'm going to federal prison, why are things any different for an illegal ? Or do you think if it's the mayor's house the bank robber is being hidden in he would get a pass ?

Even if they walk, they'll be out as much money as they'd lose to this law, and we wouldn't have new laws on the books, *and* everyone involved would think twice.
It would get people out of the "follow orders even if you know they're wrong, because you're covered, because you were following orders" mentality.

Congress (specifically the House) has the power of the purse. Would they only have to pass a resolution to defund, amend the budget or would they have to pass a law to defund?

And yet federal law says possession, growing, selling and smoking marijuana is illegal.

Democrats hate Americans.

And the feds *do* arrest people for it, even in states where its legal, when they feel like it.

because most of the time its a soft target ( there wasn't a big shootout at the BoneYard Meth yard
) .. unless your dealing with the cartel .. going after a sanctuary city would be like the same .. but i do wish they would step up and do it .. it would only take one time then the message is out ..
What I can't understand is why the ACLU would be against this other than they're full of liberal asshats. Considering they stand for AMERICAN civil liberties but are helping illegals mabey they ought to change their name.
I'm sick of hearing that these illegals are having they're constitutional rights violated. They don't have the same rights we do because they're not citizens.

This is the elephant in the room that almost everyone on all sides of the debate is missing, either intentionally or otherwise.
The Constitutional freedoms and protections do not apply to them. The rights codified in the Bill of Rights do not apply to them. The only legitimate way for them to acquire these rights is to become citizens via the naturalization process. Period.
It completely boggles my mind how this point is completely skipped over in any discussion on immigration.

Because the people who favor illegal immigration tend to hate the constitution
