House passes bill to punish sanctuary cities in wake of Steinle killing

About time things like this started happening, about 15 years overdue if you ask me. Still, I'm certain the House can rely on the Senate to stall this bit of sensible information; this is, unless Trump chimes in on it.

    If the bill passes the Senate, and Obama vetoes it -- that can be a good thing. The right side has not had enough really good causes that people understand until this one. It will be the time to show outrage, to demonstrate to view with alarm. Make people so aware that the words "Sanctuary City" will become anathema.

    I am not so sure I even agree with the illegal immigrant classification in the first place. Why are we restricting free flow of people in or out? Citizenship is different. It has to do with joining with a tribe for certain common goals like defense. Just coming here to work doesn't bestow citizenship and shouldn't. It's complicated to be sure but what we are doing with ibama path to citizenship (to be able to vote socialist) isn't the right way.

    Because of the Hypocrisy inherent in all of liberalism. The constitution is very explicit when it comes to Immigration and other topics, like the 2nd Amendment. Concerning Immigration, the constitution makes it very clear that the only power the federal government has is for Congress to set Immigration Policy. No more. No less. Congress sets the rules. Not the President, not the states. Congress.

    Then comes along a State that recognizes the explicit rules Congress sets out, and gives themselves the authority to follow those explicit rules. Since the Constitution does not grant the Federal Government exclusive authority to enforce these rules, thus the State's law is explicitly constitutional. But they got sued, and the law overturned.

    On the other hand, you have States and Cities that become "Sanctuaries" against the rules set forth by congress, thus are EXPLICITLY unconstitutional. These laws and cities are allowed to exist.

    There is nothing unconstitutional about trying to enforce the rules set forth by congress. There is with ignoring it. Thus, the hypocrisy inherent in all of Liberalism.

    From that point on, Butcher Barry becomes an accessory to every crime a deported illegal felon returns to commit.

    "The White House vowed to veto the bill, insisting that President Obama’s deportation amnesty and enforcement priorities announced in November are better approaches to illegal immigration than trying to browbeat reluctant holdout jurisdictions to report illegal immigrants."

    The law passed by con-gress is being ignored by the POTUS.
    Impeach.
    Call O before con-gress and place him under arrest for contempt.
    Jail the looting traitor in a cell with a few hundred of the criminals he protects.

    Even if the Senate passes the bill, the Traitor in Chief will veto it

    I find it amazing that so many that seem to favor the state's refusal to follow Fed law in the imposition of gun control, NSA support, and even immigration controls, seem to find much favor in the ideas of punishing cities that are refusing to follow those same sets of Fed laws.

    Consistency is important to principles--but apparently not so much for certain beliefs.
