Uh; hiding ILLEGAL aliens IS a crime. Even if a state does it.

I guess their economy can't survive without low wage workers in the agricultural field.

Calif won't last in any kind of war with the US; especially with MOST that state still being American. The feds would just put LA county and the SF bay area under martial law. Especially with the CHP putting Jerry Brown and Pelosi under arrest for breaking federal law.

With all the shouting and rioting from intolerant left wing bigots the state is overrun with it's no surprise to see you people embrace even more criminals.

You can have them all, they still can't vote and you won't gain any electoral votes from bringing in illegals.

You demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the US Constitution and the Courts

A state can pass an unconstitutional law.

Then anyone in the state can challenge said law in US court as violating their rights under the Constitution.

That is the way it works.




So any citizen in California can file a lawsuit that challenges the Sanctuary city law as violating their rights. If they have a good argument, then any Federal judge can place an injunction on it just like they did Trump's travel ban.

Imagine a state declaring itself a sanctuary for the unborn.

It would get "interesting" if states just decided what laws they like and which ones to ignore.

These 2.3 million will be absorbed and many will become citizens whether you like it or not the the other thing is most are good decent people. Like I said it's an added plus if it motivates the ultra right wingers to move out of California they won't be missed.

Here's a question for you however. Do you think "amnesty for illegals" is a winning platform for Democrats?

(I encourage the Democrat party to keep pushing it.)
