Can they force the feds to pay people who defy federal law?

What about those federal troops who showed up in the south to escort black school children into schools?

We had this war already. The Party of Lincoln won.

True, but they can cut off funding to the state if it doesn't. They used threats of cutting off highway funds to force states to pass 55 MPH speed limits, and raise the drinking age to 21 when is was 18 in some states.

“I recognize that under the Constitution, federal law is supreme and that Washington determines immigration policy,” Brown said.

Even moonbeam knows resistance is futile. These cities will have to settle for meaningless resolution “respecting humanity” or some SJW BS.

Chinese illegal immigration is potentially a bigger deal with the anchor babies and excessive chicom influence in Hollywood, Sacremento and the economy.

cool!
California will still pay taxes to the feds and it won’t qualify for subsidies back from Washington.
This will leave plenty of extra $$ to rebuild USA’s defenses plus some good infrastructure projects in the other 56 states.

:)
Californication’s legislators are soooooooo very very clever!

I heard a discussion on this, I believe, by Judge Napolitano. The Feds can’t force a state to use their resources to enforce Fed Law, but darn sure the Feds can come in to a state (or city) and enforce Federal Laws. Up until now, the Feds have not wanted to allocate the manpower, but that priority may now be subject to change.

Pull federal funds and use them for the wall. I’d rather have CALIFORNIA pay for that wall, than even Mexico.

The Court Sued the State of Arizona for this very thing.

The Court Can’t have it both ways.

Could California become a ‘sanctuary state’ under Trump?

There was a recent study that showed 74% of Californians were opposed to 'sanctuary' policies for illegal aliens - even more striking, 2/3 of California Hispanics were opposed as well. This kind of grand-standing overreach by California liberal politicians is not only unlikely to stand up to court challenges, but by defying the wishes of Californians, it could conceivably start California back on the road to political sanity.

Not sure if the defunding strategy will work. If not, then I propose that Trump order DHS to set up immigration checkpoints at every major crossing going in or out of any sanctuary city (or state). Traffic would be brought to a crawl until the city abandons the sanctuary status, and I think the legal support for this would be that if a city is in defiance of US immigration laws, then that gives the federal government the right to treat the city borders the same way it would the national borders.

I live in So Cal. Believe I would love to leave and move to Idaho. But several circumstances make that an impossibilty at this time.

I wish this state had not been overrun with loonies who have put utter lunatics in power here. I dont know how it happened. It used to be a good place to live. Now the few of us logical thinking people who are left here have to suffer. Its hell on earth here, yet so many of the people think its beyond great. Unreal
