Oh please. Why blame the mayors? They end up between a rock and a hard place, in between state law and what not.

Plus, the remedy for executives who fail to enforce the law isn't jail (what's the crime?), it's removal from office.

I figure "arrest the mayors" makes a for a nice sound bite, and maybe he let it be known it was tongue in cheek. Might as well arrest the legislators who pass "sanctuary laws" while we're at it.

Have any states voted to become sanctuary states?

Mayors and city council members seem like fair game to me.

Exactly. It would usually be the city council that voted their town to become a “sanctuary city”. The mayor might have one vote. Then not only the mayor but the police would have to decide what law to enforce.

This isn't about state law and local law. The local laws are ignoring federal law.

There are three choices.
1. Change the federal law
2. Pretending the federal law doesn't exit.
3. Enforce the law.

Most of us on this web site would like to see the law enforced and those that have been pretending the law doesn't exist be thrown into jail.
