    No city or State should feel so brazen as to ignore Federal immigration law. That many choose to do so - in many cases under the protection of leftist Court decisions - is an affront to the Constitution itself.

      Me dino would love to know why this law is not enforced by arresting law-breaking mayors and city councils. Hussein is no longer the POTUS.

        My thoughts are that these people were looking for an excuse to do this and got not only the excuse but approbation under Obama. Now that Trump has changed course entirely, they still want to hang onto their ideology and hoped to get at least a "wink-wink-nod-nod" arrangement. Because they are being utterly repudiated, they're still "bitterly clinging" - just not to God or guns. It's these kinds of people who need to be thrown in jail - not as much for breaking Federal law but for flaunting their lawbreaking.

    I suggest we all buy two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard. Then purchase the black flag of ISIS (which you can buy on EBAY...can't get a Rebel flag there though) and run it up the flag pole. Then the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, and Homeland Security will be watching our homes 24/7 Think how safe we'll feel? We could even cancel our alarm systems and save a few dollars. We could buy burkas to wear when we shop or travel. Everyone moves out of your way, and security won't pat you down. If they see a male wearing the burka, just say you're feeling like a woman that day. Plus the 'sanctuarites' would probably avoid you also.

      I am decended from a proud Southern family. My cousin has an original Confederate Battle Flag (commonly called the Stards and Bars). He is not allowed to display the flag ourside of his house. He used to take it to schools and talk about the Civil War and the rights and wrongs og both sides. involved in that little skirmish. Can't do that anymore.
      I am a historial and have learned from observation and many years of research that those who don't know history are bound to repeat it. We are about 19 steos down a 12 step path to totalitarianism of the worst sort. President Trum has delayed it maybe even pushed it bask a step or two but know this. If Hillary had won, we would be 1 step away from it. There would be a revocation of the 22nd amendment, and of the 1st, 2nd and 5th already with the remainder on the docket.

        Your assessment of where Hillary would have led is on target. She was taught at the feet of Alinsky, so I'm waiting for her to watch the current neophyte wannabe communists frantically trying to prove which is the most leftest presidential candidate, collect lots of campaign cash, and sweep in as the rescuer as the others flame out.

        One of my ancestors rode with Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart, and his other three brothers served as artillerymen. Two died in Union prison camps (as brutal as any of the Confederate camps), and the surviving brother was my great great grandfather. At the war's end, my family gave their house in Appomattox to their two black house servants and resettled elsewhere. For those interested in puzzle solving, I've laid enough crumbs there for you to have a plausible chance to figure out my identity.

    I think sanctuary cities are illegal. How dare they try to override the Constitution. Our President has the right to protect our Borders.

      What concerns me is that I am AGAINST sanctuary cities for illegals, but FOR sanctuary sherrif’s departments that protect citizens against red flag laws. My own incongruity bothers me, but there it is.

        It isn't actually an incongruity because the morality of your position is consistent. Remember that it isn't necessarily what is legal that one should operate on but rather what is moral. They should be one and the same but it is frequently those who seek to pervert morality who change the laws so as to pretend their actions are not immoral.

          Well, that DOES make me feel better, thank you. It's just that I rarely find myself in the position of trying to or encouraging others to subvert the law. Does make sense, though, that the Colorado sheriffs (for example - they are not the only ones) cannot morally enforce the red flag laws, because they are unconstitutional, and doing so would go against the oath they have sworn.

          Editing to add that this seems to fall into the idea that if enough people aren't breaking the law, change the laws until you eventually make everyone a lawbreaker. Good way to hold people hostage, in their eyes.

            "change the laws until you eventually make everyone a lawbreaker" This is already happening in subverting the 2nd Amendment. States and municipalities are legislating more and more firearms hardware and accessories ownership, storage, and transport to the point a stroke of a bureaucrats pen can turn millions of innocent gun owners into felons in less than a second. Infringement to the max.

            "change the laws until you eventually make everyone a lawbreaker"

            That's precisely the point. You see the insidiousness in this practice is actually two-fold. On the one hand those already committing immoral acts get to "justify" themselves in committing these (and more) morally reprehensible acts while claiming that they are "legal". On the other hand, they seek to place truly moral people into the conundrum you have just described: pitting morality against legality. Those who are naturally moral and seek to be consistent then find that they can not be both moral and legal at the same time. See Hank Reardon's dilemma in Atlas Shrugged for an example.

            We can see examples of these moral vs legal conundrums in today's society as well.

      All frant requests cary the certification line that (to the effect that) the cities will follow all federal laws and regulations of be rendered unable to receive $$$. They took it to the 9th circuit with the usual result. I belive the case is still pending review and escalation to the SCOTUS.

    Yeah, I live here. We have sanctuary COUNTIES. The wordplay on not having sanctuary cities is insane. Broward and Palm Beach County are both sanctuary counties.

    NOW, the sheriffs will NOT admit it, but they have their orders from the county level.

    I am VERY PROUD of Ron DeSantis. Almost losing a won election OPENED his eyes, and he is getting after it! KUDOS to him!

    He will NOT win re-election if he does not address these issues.

    Our new governor hit the ground running, he is doing great work. That said, as with Trump, it is the congress around him that are the problem, Ingoglia is as sketchy as they come, his election was pre ordained, bought and paid for by those that won`t concede power to someone like Trump - or DeSantis because they know they will be outed as the weasels they are. A recent town hall on this very subject produced this gem of a quote from the FL. rep. Gruters that was patting himself for standing against "sanctuary" - "Gruters told Kirschner that as long as illegal immigrants are not breaking the law they “have nothing to fear.” That is the root cause of our immigration policy as it now stands.
