It’s all a ploy. They think the Gopee controlled won’t vote for a bill with trumps name on it. Common on ________less swallow your pride

this is a hanging curve for the beltway GOP and yet they refuse to swing the bat

****************
Yes, it is the proverbial fat pitch in the happy zone. But the Republican batters will “step in the bucket” and strike out. The GOP team batting average is .000 and it is leading the league in strikeouts and hitless innings.

We are truly in the Twilight Zone.

The notion that sanctuary cities are even remotely legal is incredible. Correctly interpreted, those powers specifically enumerated as granted to FedGov are not allowed to be usurped by states. It is no more legal than states negotiating treaties, printing their own money or raising armies.

It is one of those rare times the leftist scum appear to embrace the Tenth Amendment! They have infinite capacity for chutzpah and hypocrisy.

The enemies of America do whatever they want regardless of the rules, their opponent ( us ) play by the rules. Can two polar opposites, matter and antimatter, the sheep and the wolf, good and evil, possibly co-exist in the same space?

We know what the Wolf would answer.

There is a strong likelyhood that naming this bill after Donald Trump will only make it that much more popular.

Trump should propose that all criminal aliens be released in McLean, VA and Bethesda, MD. That would get the beltway pigs to stop this madness.

Don't forget Greenwich,New Canaan and Darien,CT...which is where the members of the NY Times Editorial Board all live.

Although one or two of them *could* live in Chappaqua..ROFL

He confessed to the killing. Why the “allegedly”?

I thought they would call it the Kate/Kathryn Steinle Act. Her father testified before Congress, and it had to be painful for him to do so, especially if nothing comes of it.

Early on I read that the family didn't want her death politicized but it took on a life of its own.

Always conniving and devious.

“We can do all the politicking we want. We can do the so-called ‘Donald Trump Act,’ which simply denies the cities and towns their dollars to hire police officers while attacking immigrant communities,” Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), head of the House Democratic Caucus, said Wednesday in reference to the GOP’s floor agenda. “Or we can actually do things that improve the lives of Americans.”

Democrat bullsh** boilerplate

“It’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.”

May he encounter evidence to the otherwise.

“Democrat bullsh** boilerplate”

This really is getting tired. It’s like Clinton’s “Everyday Americans”...no doubt, she would put the “everyday china” out for them...what total crap, you know things are bad when a creeping part of the left doesn’t even believe in it anymore.

'The Donald Trump Act'

Now there's something the American people can get behind.

Call your congressmen and tell them to support the Donald Trump Act.

The legislation should be named for Trump. Without him it would never have been brought up.

Go Trump!

To: maggief; All
Thank you for referencing that article maggief. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"The proposal, which would withhold federal law enforcement funds for state or local governments that refuse to cooperate with federal [emphases added] immigration agents, ..."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Note that writings by both James Madison, Madison generally regarded as the father of the Constitution, and also Thomas Jefferson, indicate that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration, immigration uniquely a 10th Amendment-protected state power issue.

And not only is the proposed PC bill unsurprisingly unconstitutional regardless if patriots support the legislation, but we’ll probably never hear the corrupt GOP admit that the so-called federal funds that the GOP is threatening the states with losing should never have left the states in the first place. This is evidenced by the following clarification by state sovereignty-respecting ustices concerning Congress’s limited power to lay taxes.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Sanctuary cities would have better access to funding if the feds weren’t stealing state revenues though unconstitutional taxes.

And partly as a consequence of 17th Amendment gridlock, the state legislatures no longer having control over the Senate as the Founding States had intended, corrupt senators would probably ignore their states and pass this unconstitutional bill if the RINO-controlled House does.

As mentioned in related threads, if patriots don’t like sanctuary cities which are reasonably based on 10th Amendment-protected state power imo, then patriots need to work with local and state lawmakers to make state laws to resolve the issue. (Putting a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes is not going to be easy, especially while the 17th Amendment is in effect.)

Alternatively, patriots could work with state and federal lawmakers to appropriately amend the federal Constitution.

We hear you, brother...to the Republican elite, money from Open Borders big-business types is REAL - crime from Illegals ‘happens, I guess, maybe’. All you’re saying is that you’d like them to experience what the rest of the country is experiencing - in some way, so that they can understand that the people lighting up their phones are not being ‘manufactured’ by Rush Limbaugh, Hantity, etc., but are REAL PEOPLE.

Trump gets it...maybe it’s just better if the rest of the Republicans continue to jump off the cliff by not getting it...it can only HELP US in the end.
