State law mandating obstruction of justice in a federal law enforcement case. Marijuana laws for the feds are next. Once the nose is under the tent if this sticks the floodgates of lawlessness and rouge state activities will pour in. (Like a 2nd amendment override. Entire Constitution and Bill of Rights override)
Thinking twice won’t help either. If someone has the documentation and are qualified you can find yourself in trouble there too.
Passing a law that mandates breaking the law. Those who pass and sign the law are criminals. Indisputable.
“The question is, should the residents rise up and overthrow the revolutionary government??”
We would but we may not have .50 cal or assault weapons, or mags over 10 rounds.
Keep circling the toilet bowl, Kalifornia!!
He's been the "do nothing" AG since appointed.
If Trump doesn't replace him, and SOON, he's going to take Trump down because of Trump letting him stay on as AG.
The Constitution grants Congress broad authority to regulate federal elections. While Congress has typically deferred to the states, Congress does have ample authority in this area. Article Four of the Constitution also provides that the federal government shall guarantee that all states have a republican form of government. Chuck Schumer and the Democrats will of course filibuster any attempt to stop California from extending the franchise to millions of people from Mexico and Central America. So the crisis seems unavoidable unless a court intervenes.
Congress probably needs to define an iron-clad system for validating citizenship as well as a strong voter-ID regime, and then provide that no states' votes for president or Members of Congress are valid unless the states meet the standard. California can revert to territory status. Or secede. At this point, I don't much care which. If California wants to secede, make it a county option process. There is no reason that the whole state has to be one thing or the other. California was created from federal lands taken by treaty after the Mexican War. The federal writ precedes the creation of the state.
Where are Gene Robinson et al who declared that any talk of states rights under Obama (health care, guns, etc.) was a) racist (because we all want slavery restored, he thinks) and b) treasonous?
It must be lanced -- even if by San Andreas...
If they're legal, why would they be worrying daily about deportation?
Maybe State side ‘legal’ but Federal side illegal.
Simple solution, let CA do their “thing” and have the Feds warn the employers “go ahead, make our day”... which law do you wish to disobey, Local/State OR FEDERAL.
And make the Federal fine uninhabitable!
Placer County is Not Liberal! Can you say Rep tom McClintock!
That’s a good point. Risk pissing off ice agents and making them come back with warrants, or pay 10k fines to the state.
Knowing that most employers care more about lowering their labor costs, they’ll be happy to take the chance though... until.... Ice starts showing up repeatedly. If I was the head of ICE, I’d put the pressure on these employers. See if they crack.
Refuse to accept their POTUS electors, Senators and Congressmen. Dems will never WIN another one.
I don’t agree with you one bit. I’m not willing to cede the entire left coast of this country to these lunatics, so they can hurry up and let our enemies in. What sane nation allows that much real estate, bordering the ocean, no less, to operate as it’s own country?
I truly don’t understand folks who think this way?
But he's so SLEEEEPPPPYYYYYY
No, they care about it selectively. When the feral goobermint is shoving some illegitimate marxist crap down the people's throats, they're all over it then.
Oh, and they should go one step further:
If they are going to prosecute employers for following Federal immigration law, they need to start prosecuting employers for seizing wages and submitting withholding to the Federal government.
