Not quite. The Constitution of the United States, ratified by every State, delegated certain powers to the Federal Government. One of those powers was to create Uniform Rules for Immigration and Naturalization. No State can make their own rules (such rules would not be "uniform").
Therefore, "Sanctuary Cities" (or States) are a violation of the Constitution.
They are also a violation of 8 USC 1324 and 8 USC 1611 which deal with the harboring of persons known to be in the United States illegally, and disqualification of undocumented (illegal) aliens from receiving benefits or taxpayer funds.
When did California ratify the constitution?
Show me the rules and laws that California is making regarding immigration? Are they making illegals legal? Are they conferring citizenship upon them?
Nope...they're just saying that they won't enforce Federal law. That's it. Not that they won't follow Federal law. In fact, contrary to your repeated assertions..they are breaking no laws.
They absolutely are knowingly harboring illegal aliens, and they absolutely are making their own policy (y'all come on in ...y'all are welcome). That is an immigration policy, illegal under the US Constitution.
They are also distributing benefits to illegals.
What case law do you refer to? The Constitution is the highest law in the land, and no Case Law is superior. Further, 8 USC 1324 and 8 USC 1611 are "crystal clear."
Cut and paste is your friend when you want to quote the law, which would take a long time to retype manually. Why would you do that?
*sigh* So..where are the arrests? Is Trump afraid/ IS Sessions afraid? Is the FBI scared?
Conflating constitutional law..and case law...well--good luck with that.
"they'll be barred from transferring immigrants to federal authorities if their rap sheet includes only minor offenses."
I wonder if the VICTIMS consider those crimes to be "minor offenses" also many criminals commit minor crimes and then go on to the bigger crimes or murder .
