Do you understand the words of the 10th amendment? Or is it just to old and outdated in this modern age? Guess it's time to apply "common sense" and just get rid of that whole inconvenient part of the constitution.

The sanctuary cities are state law, if the federal government wanted to go in there and round up illegals for committing the federal crime of illegally crossing the border, they could send federal agents in there and prosecute away, there's nothing legally stopping them from doing so.

rattrap cities cannot supercede the federal governhemtn in the area of international treaties and immigrations IS ABSOLUTELY international.

Care to show me where that is inaccurate?

Sanctuary cities are outside the rights of the states to establish as that is not their constitutional authority to rule. Care to show me where the states have the power to make international immigration policy?
