Jeff Sessions May Prosecute ‘Sanctuary Cities’ If Confirmed
washingtontimes.com ^ | 21 Nov 2016

Sen. Jeff Sessions is on record saying so-called “sanctuary cities” that protect illegal immigrants should be prosecuted. He himself may get that chance next year.

From his first day in office, Mr. Sessions will have the power to strip some federal funding from sanctuary cities, thanks to rulings this year by the Justice Department’s inspector general, who said federal law requires localities to cooperate with immigration agents — and who provided an initial list of a handful of the worst offenders.

“The sanctuary cities thing is huge. I think most jurisdictions are going to fold like a cheap suit,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager at NumbersUSA, which lobbies for stricter immigration laws.

“Alternatively, we could just stop prosecuting anyone who violates any gun law on the books. I bet the Liberals would have an issue with that.”

Kind of along those lines perhaps we should bring up statistics on how many people are killed by illegals per year versus how many are killed by guns, maybe prove illegals are more dangerous than guns

***The headline and the first sentence are in conflict.***

Exactly!!!!!

Journalists are the illiterati.

It should have read: If confirmed, Jeff Session will prosecute Sanctuary Cities.

Yup. Enforcing Rule of Law in this country would go a long way in saving our Republic.

I’m looking forward to the confirmation process for Sessions...it will be great live TV...we will all see the real worth of Steven Bannon; I’m sure he already has a war plan for pushing back on the Dems who try to smear Sessions.

Alternatively, we could just stop prosecuting anyone who violates any gun law on the books. I bet the Liberals would have an issue with that.

Instead of cutting off their funding, making the Republicans look bad, I say feed them to their own lions!!

The Republicans need to court-shop an assault charge or a drug-related charge to find a court that will hold the city at fault for failing to prosecute and assist with immigration laws, they are violating the "equal protection" requirements of the law, and therefore, until they start applying all laws equally, that city can't prosecute ANY law-breakers! The breakdown in the larger cities will FORCE the cities to step-up, AND QUICK, before total chaos kicks in!!

This way, the sanctuary cities will pay the price - DIRECTLY - and the people in the city will see the Democrat failures, up close and personal!

I would then love to see Joe Arpaio given the job of Chief Enforcer of Immigration Law.

That would be a case of: “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

It would be hilarious. The left would go bonkers.

He should make the Mayor and Governor of the sanctuary city personally liable, both civilly and criminally to anyone who is injured or killed by an illegal who has a previous felony conviction and has been set free. That would stop this crap immediately.
