Sanctuary Cities - Legit?

Post by kybkh » Wed Apr 26, 2017 5:43 am

I am totally baffled by this whole idea of cities, NOT STATES, being able to defy the Federal Government.

Didn't we have a fucking war about this?

Totally illegal IMO

Both sides only use the "States' Rights" excuse when it pertains to their sensibilities.

It is baffling to me. Apparently cities feel that the federal government owes them money, whether or not they adhere to federal law. I'm no lawyer, but the argument strikes me as ridiculous. How can you tell the federal government that they have to keep paying you money even though you blatantly defy their laws?

Its just like that church suing for grant money for a new playground despite the fact that they don't pay any taxes.

Logic goes out the window when people want to bend the laws to suit them and money is involved.

The fact they are using the 10th Amendment to dispute this is particularly galling.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I wonder if the constitution says anything about the immigration. Hmm.

Also, perhaps our nation will devolve into city states.

If it does, it will be right on course with what I believe is going to happen.

If said war is not mentioned in Harry Potter series or rebooted as a netflix superhero movie, no one under 35 will be aware of it.

What is this light-weight twaddle?
OPINE, man.
OPINE.

What are your thoughts on this? How can cities tell the Federal government "No, you can't decide NOT to give us money simply because we're in open defiance of you"?

HOW?
