And when democrats change the laws of big government do they expect local government to follow them? Should southern states arbitrarily ignore trans rights, or gay rights, or abortion rights, simply because they don't personally agree with them?
Democrats aren't really in favor of small government doing whatever the f*** they want for the most part, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here. We think it's nice that Colorado legalized weed, but we actually want it to be federally legal. s0nicfan posted...
The law is the law, and if you don't like the law you make new laws or remove old ones. You don't just arbitrarily skip the ones you don't like, and that applies to all parties.
And democrats have been arguing for immigration reform. We're not ignoring them. We're trying to change federal government.

I don't think people understand how sanctuary cities work... They're designed to protect the citizens. If you're an illegal immigrant and you witness a crime... Do you call the cops and risk deportation? Or do you look the other way and let it happen? If you're running a city and you find an increasing number of your crimes is going unreported, what's more important to you? The safety of your citizens or deportation laws?

I mean, southern states are constantly passing laws that limit and restrict abortion rights. The difference is that courts typically strike those down, while the sanctuary city issue is less clear constitutionally. Oh, also, abortion restrictions that are de facto rather than de jure are fine (e.g., excessive regulations regarding the provision of abortions) which is pretty much how localities handle sanctuary policies.

First, undocumented presence isn't a crime. Even illegal entry is a misdemeanor. Second, nothing these leaders are doing fits any reasonable definition of the felony of human smuggling. So you guys are fine with elected officials being jailed for crimes they did not commit because of your political opposition to them?

Kind of a fair, next. You can disagree with federal laws, but as a government official actively declaring that your city is just sort of arbitrarily going to ignore specific ones is just bad practice.

But no one has formulated a response that attacks sanctuary cities ITT other than stupid strawman posts like yours that couch it in terms of being law-abiding. The logical conclusion of your own argument -- which is that we should follow all federal laws to the letter, because none of you have presented anything substantive above and beyond us being a nation of laws -- is uncomfortable to you and your side, so you're selectively misconstruing what the other side is saying.

Sanctuary cities refuse to deport illegal immigrant murderers. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/san-francisco-murder-prompts-reviews-of-sanctuary-cities/
San Francisco's sanctuary ordinance largely prohibits city personnel from helping enforce immigration laws.
"It was never contemplated that our sanctuary city would give protection to serious repeat felony offenders," Mayor Ed Lee says.
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi insists he had no choice but to free Sanchez without alerting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-immigration-sanctuary-kathryn-steinle-20150723-htmlstory.htmlSanchez was in federal prison for re-entering the country after his fifth deportation. But on March 26, as the date neared for him to be released into ICE custody, prison officials in Victorville shipped him north to the San Francisco Sheriff's Department on an outstanding drug-related warrant despite an immigration detainer. The San Francisco district attorney's office declined to prosecute what authorities said was a decade-old marijuana possession case, and Sanchez was released April 15.This event was tragic, but locating the issue with sanctuary city policies is misleading at best. The federal government was not only complicit, but is obviously incompetent. Are we really arguing that we should put a strain on local law enforcement and prison/jail budgets just so ICE can let someone re-enter the country for a 6th time?

Right, and they're not to alert ICE that they have an illegal in custody, meaning ICE has no way to procure a warrant for that person. ChromaticAngel posted...

So I guess if someone has been deported enough times before, they should just get to stay! Is that what you're saying? If you get deported too many times we should just stop enforcing the law?

No. What I'm trying to say is he was deported so your argument that you can't get deported from a sanctuary city is totally f***ing bogus.

LOl yeah, Sanchez clearly would have alerted the Feds that he has re-entered the country again so they would know to procure a warrant for him as soon as he got arrested by the police department which doesn't alert the Feds when an illegal is arrested. Brilliant logic there, sport. ChromaticAngel posted...

1. He wasn't necessarily in a sanctuary city when he got deported 2. SF still refused to deport a repeat criminal and a murderer Your real argument seems to be he had too easy of a time coming back into the country. Perhaps he would be less inclined to come back if he knew that there were no cities willing to protect illegals?

Sanchez doesn't need to alert anyone. He was arrested and it's documented as so. The ICE has access to this knowledge, they could use it to procure a warrant. The fact that they didn't is a failure on the ICE, not the SFPD. Sephiroth1288 posted...

The argument is as you say, but it is also that it would have happened with or without the sanctuary city. The current laws against immigration did absolutely nothing to stop a girl from being murdered. What happens to the murderer after the fact is irrelevant as the girl can't be brought back to life. The justice system failed to deal with a repeat felon that was deported 5 times. failing to deal with it a 6th time doesn't change anything. Going all crazy regarding banning immigration is equivalent to banning all guns because one f***ing moron shot up a school.

Ok, now you're just talking out your ass. Sanctuary cities like SF do not alert ICE when they have an illegal in prison. That's why they're a problem, and that's why that girl is now dead. ChromaticAngel posted...

No, I'm rather confident that it would be much less likely he could murder anyone in the US if he were simply deported. And of course I also support bolstering border security. But there's no reason we can't go after cities that try to subvert the law as well.
