Why will it be a long and tedious process? We have the Supreme Court and we can hurt Sanctuary States and cities in the pocketbook.

I agree about the Wall. But I am more optimistic that we can turn the corner on this sanctuary lawlessness.

We have the Supreme Court and we can hurt Sanctuary States and cities in the pocketbook.

It could take years and many reversals in lower courts before the SC agrees to hear a case on sanctuary cities. And I'd question whether we actually do have the SC - Roberts has shown that he is moving leftward and is no longer a sure conservative vote. Anthony Kennedy never has been.

I agree that it needs to be litigated, but I'm not confident that this can be won in the courts - liberal presidents appoint firmly liberal judges, while conservative presidents appoint so-called moderates who often turn out to be closet liberals. And bear in mind that if a Democrat wins the WH in 2020, they will immediately instruct their AG to drop any cases against sanctuary cities/states.
