“Second, had the ruling gone the other way, the individual states would have been able to create their own unique immigration laws. Would you *really* want that? Can you imagine the immigration policy of states like California or Massachusetts?”
You are correct. This opinion paves the way for the feds to take action against “sanctuary cities.” Getting the feds to do that places the obligation right back where it ought to be; as a political issue and changing the people running the show in DC.
Must we wait for the Feds to take action? That might be a long wait depending on who's in power. Can't someone bring suit now against a sanctuary city based on this ruling?
