#KatesWall explodes on Twitter

The acquittal of an illegal immigrant charged with murdering Kate Steinle in San Francisco two years ago has led to cries on social media for a border wall and now. The handle #KatesWall has exploded on Twitter and comes after President Trump and several of his top aides have demanded Congress to react by funding a border wall. It is also popular on Facebook.

What’s more, it has led to anti-immigration advocates to push for funding of the wall and defunding of sanctuary cities like San Francisco in the upcoming spending bill.

Democrats have vowed to fight the added money and are willing to shutdown the government over that and their demand that for a solution to the Obama-era amnesty program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was facing second degree murder charges for killing 32-year-old Steinle on July 1, 2015, at Pier 14 in San Francisco. He had been deported five times.

Let's remember this beautiful young lady who died in her father's arms.

No Amnesty and Build That Wall! Kate’s Law and Kate’s Wall are good response to that travesty in San Francisco.

How civil wars happen.

When members of Congress and Senate (democrats) in POWER ignore the law and prefer illegal invaders over American citizens.

And will SHUT DOWN the government for their perverted views on governance.

All for their own power.

Because they expect their own citizens to cower in silence and OBEY.

This idea was mentioned a little while ago by lots of Freepers on a thread about Sarah Sanders statement, but now I can’t find that thread, so I was hoping that someone faster than I am can help. thanks

"What’s more, it has led to anti-immigration advocates to push for funding of the wall and defunding of sanctuary cities like San Francisco in the upcoming spending bill."

There it goes with "anti-immigration" again. The wall is to keep out parasitic trespassers.

That is “anti-illegal immigration”, you inside the beltway doofus!

Did you mean this one that could easily be done by Congress?

> “Not one penny to any sanctuary city or state!”

Actually, it can go further than merely denying federal funds or withholding block grants. And note that withholding these funds from states is problematic politically; it’s easier said than done.

But there is a way that is clear and Constitutional.

First, the federal government has a responsibility to enforce the nation’s laws with respect to immigration and borders. To carry out this enforcement requires money and money requires either taxation or an appropriation via the issuance of debt. But let’s look at taxation first.

The original tax provisions of the US Constitution allow for a direct tax with apportionment to be levied on the States.

If Congress has a will reflected by the will of the America people to round up and deport illegal aliens within the Nation’s borders, it can pass a tax bill to take the following general steps:

1. Tax each state directly according to their population census for the purpose of enforcing US law against illegal aliens. The tax revenue collected will be used to pay a federal force to find, detain, process, and deport all illegal aliens inside each state. Whatever method each state decides to raise the federal enforcement tax is up to them. They can add an income tax or a state sales surtax or a toll tax, property tax, utility tax or a combination of taxes. And they can make it known and blatant that this a federal tax for enforcement against illegal aliens. State residents can grind their teeth all they want, but there will be a way out of such federal taxation if their state and local legislators choose a federal option.

2. Give states a federal option to assist in the enforcement of federal law governing illegal aliens. For cities, townships, counties, and state governments that choose to assist faithfully and fully the federal government in fulfilling its responsibility, the federal direct tax levied can be credited back to the state which in turn can provide full relief to its state residents. States can also be offered an option to immediately pledge to assist federal law enforcement and by doing so, they will be able to forgo any separate state legislation to collect the federal tax because they will have received an immediate full credit from the federal government, hence they won’t owe anything.

The above two steps will leave only ‘sanctuary states’ or states with ‘sanctuary cities’ having to raise the federal tax. They can’t plead unconstitutional targeting because the tax is applied directly to all states with apportionment, but the federal government has the option to credit back taxes to states that agree to pledge their own law enforcement resources to assist the federal enforcement effort.

Aberrant states like California who might choose to remain as a Sanctuary State will have a hard time blaming the federal government for its tax woes when all they need do is to reverse their uncooperative enforcement policies. Otherwise, its state taxpayers will know the price of harboring illegal aliens. This is all completely Constitutional and puts the burden on states that would choose to defy the will of Congress and the American people.

Thanks so much hostage.

Not the one I was looking for, but a great addition to the freedom/responsibility discussion.

Maybe if I get some sleep I can find it.

Thanks so much.

Congress IS our enemy. Not much hope there.

Can you remember the subject or description of what you’re trying to retrieve?

[Taxman]

Yours is certainly “out of the box” thinking, but, actually, I prefer a more direct approach:

I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that if a person ignores or violates a federal law, he/she can be charged with a crime.

That would be my approach - LOCKEM UP!
