Sessions: Sanctuary cities will forfeit funds

The Justice Department won’t give money to sanctuary cities, but it did not say what jurisdictions would be included. Where does San Diego fall? Officials say they cooperate with immigration authorities, but some areas are on lists that say otherwise. Ref. Source 9f.

I don't agree with sanctuary cities. These are people that are breaking our laws. I think we should find a way to legalize the vast majority of the illegals here. I think they should ultimately become US citizens. I think we need to do a better job controlling our borders so we don't find ourselves in the situation again. But, when ICE or CBP, national level organizations, asks about a person a state of local law enforcement organization has in custody they must answer. If that isn't the law of the land it should be. States don't get to say to the Federal Government, at least not since the Civil War. If we keep going down the path we're on we are going to be a very loose confederation of 50 different governments, that is best case. The worst case is that we tear ourselves apart in a very destructive civil war.

We did that a while back we legalized many of the illegals and then afterwards even more came pouring into the USA. It did not nothing to stop the illegals like they said it would back then. It just made matters worse. Now you have even more people here being protected by some cities because they feel they are doing something to help them when in actuality they are hurting the American citizens as they spending the money earmarked to help citizens on the illegals.

KN,

The difference is that this time we actually need to secure our borders. The reason they came pouring in is we gave illegals a legitimate status but then we never actually secured our borders. If we secure our borders then illegals won't be able to come pouring back in.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson had previously issued a nationwide, short-term block against Trump's temporary travel ban. On Wednesday, he turned that into a longer-term preliminary injunction. Ref. USAToday.

Donald Trump & Immigration

An undocumented immigrant, whose wife was a Trump supporter, has been deported back to Mexico, the family attorney said in a statement.

Helen Beristain voted for Donald Trump thinking he would only remove undocumented immigrants with criminal records and would never tear up families.

Her husband, Roberto Beristain, was deported last night after being held in detention since February, the attorney said in a statement. He is now back in Juarez, Mexico. Ref. CNN.

No path for citizenship for many

With the media showing more and more non-citizens facing deportation under President Donald Trump, some puzzle over why longtime residents never became U.S. Citizens. Unauthorized immigrants generally have no way to “become legalized.” Ref. Source 5p.

And herein lies the crux of the problem. Yes, these people broke our law by entering our country illegally. But most of them did so for the best of reasons. I can't blame them for wanting to better their lives and that of their families. I just can't. I'd choose the same path if I didn't have the supreme good fortune of being born here. So, I think we need to secure our borders so others can't choose this path and overwhelm our ability to control immigration and then give these people that have been here following our laws, other than the one they broke coming here, trying to better themselves. Some came here as children, had no choice, and don't even know the countries we want to deport them to. I don't want this. We are a stronger nation because of immigration in general and these immigrants in particular… even though they are illegal. Let's fix our border and then give these people a path to citizenship.
