Post 1985 SF “sanctuary cities” where the city says they won’t spend money enforcing federal law?
That’s fine, and actually legal.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 addressed the relationship between the federal and local governments. Minor crimes, such as shoplifting, became grounds for possible deportation.[42] The legislation outlawed cities’ bans against municipal workers reporting a person’s immigration status to federal authorities.[43] Nothing in the law forces states or local governments to help the federal government with immigration enforcement.[44]
But if that’s the balance you’re looking for, if trump is elected he could raid “legal” stores in states he doesn’t like and seize all the money. Just like CBP and ICE can still operate in a sanctuary city.
If Biden made the claim he has the power to do it, he should be the one to deliver.
I don’t really think it’s up to the President to explain the difference between federal law enforcement and state law enforcement 🤷♂️
You’re literally arguing that Biden should tell states that state law supersecedes federal law…
We literally fought a whole war over this.
No, I’m telling you to tell your state to decriminalize it.
So your opinion is the Confederacy was right in the Civil War?
And even if the federal government made slavery illegal, all the South had to do was ignore it?
Because you just don’t seem to understand what you’re promoting…
Are you arguing that sanctuary cities are wrong?
…
Historically?
They were started by religious fundamentalists, and it was kind of a shitshow

Do you think trump won’t do that?
So if you’re ok with state and local agencies not enforcing federal immigration law, why are federal drug laws different?
I’m also not sure where you got this idea I’d rather have Trump. Overall I’m satisfied with Biden’s performance.
Sanctuary cities can’t stop ICE or CBP from arresting anyone…
And there is nothing stopping the federal government from raiding “legal” stores, arresting everyone, and seizing all the money.
That’s why your “solution” isn’t an actual solution.
I’m not saying you support trump, I’m saying any president who wanted to could do that and use the money for something they want.
And trump not doing it his first term is already surprising, you think he would have hesitated to do it to Cali if he thought of it?
The next Republican president probably won’t be as stupid as trump. But he’s gonna want all the same policies.
