Citizens arrest...with pitchfork and torches.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I like it.

[Cboldt]

Oh please. Why blame the mayors? They end up between a rock and a hard place, in between state law and what not.

Plus, the remedy for executives who fail to enforce the law isn't jail (what's the crime?), it's removal from office.

I figure "arrest the mayors" makes a for a nice sound bite, and maybe he let it be known it was tongue in cheek. Might as well arrest the legislators who pass "sanctuary laws" while we're at it.

Waste of aiR> The GOP leadership is all for “sanctuary cities”

[DoughtyOne]

Don’t stop there. Every member of their city council that voted for sanctuary status should join the mayor in jail.

Mea culpa - Jindal was describing proposed legislation, not the use of existing law.

I think his proposal for new legislation is on a good track, especially allowing civil liability. it's a radical departure from current law which holds the government has no duty to protect any individual from crime.

Trump needs to announce that his DOJ will prosecute any public official who violates Federal Law. Subject these officials to being sued by families of victims of illegal aliens, too.

[EinNYC]

Brilliant! I agree. These mayors are no more than accessories to crime. First, the crime of illegals crossing our border without permission. Second, the numerous crimes, including rape and murder, committed by these illegals.

[aquila48]

I agree - these scumbugs never pay for the consequences of their misguided policies.

[Lopeover]

I agree. These leaders violated Federal law, I see Obama Admin as having more culpability, DHS allowed the lack of immigration enforcement. Obama should be impeached.

[Bogey78O]

This is interesting as Mitch Landrieu just clarified that New Orleans will officially not cooperate with INS in enforcing immigration law.

Sounds like Mitch may be between a rock and a hard place soon.

The plan calls first for Congress to “criminalize” sanctuary cities existing by “making city officials that enact those policies as an accessory to the crimes committed by the illegal aliens those policies enabled.”

How about a plan calling for Congress to enforce our existing border laws and build a fence? Without that, the rest is just empty gesturing. How long are we going to come up with BS "immigration reform" plans and plans to criminalize sanctuary cities while ignoring the cause of the problem?

[I want the USA back]

They’re not accessories. Their actions were irresponsible but did not assist in the execution of a crime.

Yep, that will happen when they complete the Wall.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

Accessory to murder (and other such crimes) is a state law. New Orleans is a sanctuary city. So, Bobby, when will we see some arrests?

Oh, right. Talk is cheap.

[GraceG]

Isn’t willingly and knowingly aiding and abbedding illegal acts ALREADY a Crime and in the case of a federal crime, itself a federal crime???

[Conscience of a Conservative]

The only problem I have with this is one of Federalism - do we really want to set a precedent that state and local officials can be held criminally responsible for failing to enforce Federal law? It doesn’t take much to see how such a precedent could be abused.

Democrat mayors want their taxpayer subsidized voters.

Republican mayors want their taxpayer subsidized labor force.

The business owners, politicians, governments, shareholders, and finanacial interests want that free flow of cheap labor unimpeded, and will buy, imtimidate, extort, and do anything to make that happen.

Which is why we are where we are at now, a first-world nation rapidly devolving into a third-world fascist shithole.

But hey! Enjoy those record profits (right before the regime kills you, and takes them).
