man you lean right wing
.
anyway when you say use federal money what do you mean? did the federal govt generate that money on their own? or does a state like new york send more money to the federal govt than they get back in return? it's one thing to threaten useless taker states (funny most of them are red and they hate takers), it's another to threaten donor states.
and you probably shouldn't care either way. but it never ends there because you all end up caring about one particular way and in this case it's usually on the side of racists. these cities want to keep things rolling along and they feel gestapo tactics aren't good for state business and safety. why fukk with their economy? you right wingers like to talk about freedom when it's red states discriminating against people, but these blue state govts are supported by big majorities in their state and they don't seem to have a problem with it. the basic tenant of a sanctuary city is that the police shouldn't be asking about a person's legal status before they provide service. if ICE wants someone they can go get them. they are CHOOSING to not use their resources to enforce federal law, basically conscientiously objecting.
finally and most importantly this is protected by the 10th amendment. equal protection applies to everyone in the country, not just citizens, so states and municipalities can't deny services to anyone regardless of immigration status. so these cities are actually behaving lawfully.
Lets go point by point
" these cities want to keep things rolling along and they feel gestapo tactics aren't good for state business and safety."
Enforcing immigration law = gestapo tactics? How is enforcing immigration law any more "gestapo" than enforcing any other laws? Are you this gung ho about the feds enforcing tax evasion laws? Racketeering? Traffic violations? Animal cruelty?
"blue state govts are supported by big majorities in their state and they don't seem to have a problem with it"
Blue states supporting something doesn't make it OK to operate in violation of federal law. You can't just pick and choose which laws you follow and don't, the whole legal system is pointless by that logic.
"the basic tenant of a sanctuary city is that the police shouldn't be asking about a person's legal status before they provide service."
Sanctuary cities are denying the legal status
of people who convicted crimes. Stop trying to paint this as ICE officers running around demanding people's immigration status on the street
"if ICE wants someone they can go get them."
ICE can't go get anybody if sanctuary cities hide them
"this is protected by the 10th amendment."
The 10th Amendment does not mean states can violate federal law
I used to, and still do hold rancor for the gross hypocrisy and double standards of the right.... now I'm seeing the left is just as bad, if not worse
shyt like this is why I stopped fukking with HL, too many clowns with liberal arts vocabulary
