Wash. governor orders agencies to ignore immigration requests
The Hill ^ | 2-23-2017 | Reid Wilson

Posted on 02/23/2017 7:10:29 PM PST by tcrlaf

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) on Thursday signed an executive order blocking state law enforcement agencies from detaining undocumented immigrants at the request of federal officials, days after the Trump administration began ramping up immigration enforcement actions.   Inslee’s order prevents state agencies from discriminating against or refusing service to those in living the country illegally. It also blocks those agencies from spending state resources to create or enforce a registry of citizens on the basis of religious affiliation.   The order blocks the Washington State Patrol and the state Department of Corrections from detaining anyone solely on the basis of immigration status.   “This executive order makes clear that Washington will not be a willing participant in promoting or carrying out mean-spirited policies that break up families and compromise our national security and, importantly, our community safety,” Inslee said at a press conference Thursday.

Washington Democrats, between the state primary and the election, registered 100,000 new voters. They targeted counties with large populations of migrant workers. No wonder Inslee wants to protect Washington’s illegal immigrants from immigration enforcement. These are Democrat voters he will lose.

I talked to Washington State’s Secretary of State about the ability to check these newly registered voter’s citizenship. I found out it is against state law to check a voter’s citizenship. The Democrats have a game that guarantees a lock on the electorate in their favor.

we are complaining that the citizens of washington will be unprotected from violent criminals and so forth. The citizens have the right to recall the governor and their legislative residents have the right to impeach him.

The biggest issue then is that if they cannot contain the illegals and take the risk only within their state, we are all endangered. So congress should restrict movement out of washington to keep the rest of us safe until they report these criminals.

I prefer the stated options above, arrest the governor and hold him for crimes. Cut off federal funding, now. These statements have been made since before the inauguration. So let’s kick some ass if they want to play, let’s play hardball, Mr. Trump now is the time to flex.

I hope Tuesday night will address the entire sanctuary city. I am growing impatient seeing my fellow citizens die., get raped and robbed while the officials who are complicit walk free. Start with the guy and the speaker of the house in CA who has admitted to crimes and flaunts it cubically. Somebody load up and ride into town. I’m 70 and sickly but if I had the balls I’d make a citizens arrest of as many s I could. If the sheriff wouldn’t;t take them, they’ll be ay my houses tied up in a garage.

Which is precisely why they can direct a slowdown on all visa applications in the states of Washington and Connecticut.

Inslee may soon be watching a US Marine Division arriving in
Seattle.

Where are the federal marshals going to arrest Inslee they way JFK sent them to Tuscaloosa in 1963 to arrest George C. Wallace had not Wallace stepped aside to permit UA desegregation?

It is still a bit early for President Trump to begin to hold the politician lawbreakers accountable. I think he is going to turn the screws on $$ allocations first and then, unfortunately, some more Americans are going to have to die at the hands of the illegal aliens before a large number of Americans join the chorus that the illegals all have to go.

It appears to me the state government leaders who are supporting illegals are criminals too and need to be jailed one by one. Eventually, I hope, like you, that is President Trump's stance.

Has WA State ever had anyone good? I know that Henry Jackson was a domestic liberal. There was a good representative for a while, Jack Metcalf.

AG Sessions should issue a federal warrant for the WA governor’s arrest on the charge of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

If Inslee violently resists arrest, deadly force should be used to stop that resistance.

I wonder what the current border situation is now? Would think that illegal crossing would be down sharply already.

Just read that since January, illegal border crossings are DOWN by 40%. Long way to go, but a good start nevertheless. When we get thos 5,000 additional border patrol agents the number of illegal border crossings should decline much more.
