Ok
I am going into a brain slobber thinking of that
Immigration and national security are issues which are the purview of the federal government, not the states. The federal government is an agreement reached among the states. If you harbor illegals, you are stabbing the rest of the states in the back and reneging on your legal, constitutional agreement to adhere to a common policy on this issue. Illegal immigration is an issue that effects the whole country which is why the founders gave the federal government authority over it.
Is California able to prevent the illegals they harbor from crossing over into neighboring states, transporting drugs to the rest of the country, or planning terror attacks to be inflicted on the rest of the country? Of course not. Their actions endanger the country as a whole, not just their own state, and are illegal.
If a state wants to pass a speed limit of 40 mph, or tax soft drinks at 200%, that’s their business, but California is breaking their agreement with the 49 other states when they undermine federal policy on this issue, which they are constitutionally bound to follow.
Hell with that. Send Federal troops into Kalifornia and FORCE ‘em to obey the law. Just like Lincoln and Eisenhower sent troops into the Southern States years ago.
If they refuse to obey, lock ‘em up. And if necessary, shoot them.
What’s good for the goose is good for the “Resistance.”
“If a state wants to pass a speed limit of 40 mph, or tax soft drinks at 200%, that’s their business, but California is breaking their agreement with the 49 other states when they undermine federal policy on this issue, which they are constitutionally bound to follow.”
Bingo.
THIS!! ^^^^
Here is a quote from Mr. Becerra from 9/2017;
“California is not looking to pick a fight,” he said. “But if Trump is trying to get in our way, that’s when we go at it.”
To leftists like the NYT, no immigration is illegal. The only thing illegal are white Americans...being a white, hetero male, now that’s a capital crime.
Winning!!!!
awesome president :)
“I want the army in there to arrest brown and the entire legislature.”
Me too, and I live in CA. And make sure that they arrest the Republicans too while they’re at it, because they are very much part of the whole problem of lawlessness here.
Hollywood will hate Trump even more. They are about to loose all the under paid for din invading house staffs.
Donald Trump is the best thing to ever happen to California.
Yes yes yes
Heard it on my sheepish local radio tonight in the GAY BAY
LOVE IT
TIMES 6000000
“The gov did not sue Little Rock”
Yes they did, and Alabama too.
It was the Fed Court order that was presented to each before it escalated to Federalizing the National Guard.
The SCOTUS precedent on SB1070 will bury California.
Next time I hear a Dem libtard progressive scream Rule of Law, I am going to either put my hands on them or laugh my arse off. =.=
Secede. Pleaaase. Get armed insurrection brutally put down and all participants disenfranchised pursuant to the 15th Amendment. Pleeeeeease!
>
Don’t sue
Send the US Marshalls to arrest the politicians who are abetting the illegals
>
THANK YOU. JHC, govt can’t watch and chew gum @ the same time?!
Round up the clowns and THEN file.
What’s next, they going to let the lower courts make @sses of themselves, wasting taxpayer $$ and all of our time, instead of going directly to SCOTUS??
About time. The next step?
I’d say that unless they in kalifornia, cease and desist, that a state of insurrection against the United States exists.
Taken to the ultimate conclusion, this is what the Insurrection Act of 1807 (amended in 2006) was created for.
They have been warned.
