The big question is Why does the USA refuse to use the working plan that Canada has to deal with the illegal alien problem? IT works.. Our politicians wont even talk about it must less do anything about it.

Gosh as always i agree so much with this post. Your correct, this should in no way be a issue. I think some forget that Federal Law prohibits aiding and abetting illegals.

Including their safe havens.

I agree with you those landlords renting knowingly to illegals, should be prosecuted.

Go to to court, what's the judge going to say.

It is illegal to aid and abet illegals.

Yet we have dozens of cities across this country that are declared sanctuary cities. Why aren't they being sued for aiding and abetting illegal immigrants?

Who is declaring them as "sanctuary cities", and why? Check the entry for Santa Fe, New Mexico:

"Santa Fe Mayor David Coss opposes taking drivers licenses away from illegal aliens"

The state of New Mexico issues driver's licenses to those that do not have Social Security numbers. A mayor has no ability to enforce a policy over what the state allows. How is there any rationale of why Santa Fe is on a list of this sort, much less a part of a fantasy world where they can be sued (by whatever group) as "aiding and abetting illegal immigrants".

You've lost your way in these far-out claims...

The cities themselves have declared they are sanctuary cities by their protection of illegal immigrants from detection and our immigration laws. You really need examples even though many of those city's policies have been brought up numerous times? Try L.A., Santa Ana, San Francisco just in the state of Calif. alone. Facts aren't far out claims.

Where did I mention Santa Fe, NM? Obama is quick to sue any state that tries to enforce immigration laws and yet he hasn't sued one city or state for aiding and abetting illegal immigrants.

A claim to the list of original Sanctuary Cities, USA. Many of the cities don't have a description of why they are on the list, or it is nonsensical (a political representative that is no longer in the position, or like Santa Fe, illogical). Consider the example, how does a mayor in New Mexico "remove" illegal aliens from being issued driver's licenses for their city?

"Local reader observation" is the most amusing description (El Paso, Texas is not on that list, despite "malamute" having the opinion it is a "sanctuary city", so the determination seems to be somewhat arbitrary), and the notion that such places are going to be successfully "sued" on that basis is pure fantasy...

True, but if the state doesn't object, cities are free to pursue the policy. They're actually breaking federal law, but again, if the federal government doesn't take action against them, and the state allows it, they do pretty much as they like. It's simply a matter of federal and state governments not enforcing the law.

I just don't see how a mayor or city council can "take [New Mexico] driver's licenses away from illegal aliens". When such garbage data is thrown in, it distorts the claim. New Mexico isn't "breaking" Federal law to issue driver's licenses without requiring a Social Security number, nor can a New Mexico city government refuse to recognize (or strip away somehow) a portion of those licenses when they are valid.

A claim of being a "sanctuary city" on that sort of basis is ludicrous...

A city or state being a sanctuary for illegal immigrants isn't just about issuing them driver's licenses. That isn't the only thing that equates to aiding and abettiing. Surely you know this.
