What other countries have had such lax immigration law enforcement as the U.S. had under Obama? Just try to emigrate to Mexico, Canada, Australia, etc, and see what they say. Also, just try to sneak into another country and see what happens. I'll mail you a cake with a file in it, as you will be there a LONG time.
Um.....Iḿ unsure what youŕe getting at but Iḿ sure itś really good. lol
Those hurricanes and tornadoes happen way more than earthquakes - - especially in San Diego. We'll take our money and you can worry about our earthquakes.
But when the do happen, they cause huge amounts of damage. And you are due for one, last big one was almost 30 years ago.
Not sure if they wish to be 'above' all Federal laws..they just don't want to enforce it..which is their right.
BS.
This isn't about money, it's about ideology.
All these liberal cities and states that tax and spend like no tomorrow and throw other peoples money around like it was so much fertilizer are going to try to say it's about fiscal responsibility?
Lol........yeah right.
How much does it cost to make a phone call to the feds and be cooperative?

Everything comes down to money. Just don't ask me for a BAILOUT, California, when it all comes collapsing down around you due to your OWN HORRIBLE CHOICES!

I concede the point...which I made in one of my posts--that this IS political...the State is making a point..which I disagree with, BTW..but..they have the right to make said point..they are breaking no laws.
It's about money..from the Federal point of view..because without the State's help..they are unwilling/unable to enforce their laws effectively. Mostly unwilling..because they don't want the political fallout or the increased expense.

Actually the feds has refused for decades to replace ICE detainers with arrest warrants. And the detainers violate the fourth amendment.
The Highest state court in Massachusetts ruled on Monday that court officers do not have the authority, under state law, to hold people in custody based solely on the requests from federal immigration authorities known as civil detainers." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/24/u...s.html?mcubz=0
That is not the first such ruling, but it is the first since DHS revised their guidelines for ICE detainers in March of this year. Every court who has heard one of these cases have ruled that ICE detainers are NOT arrest warrants and their revised policy in March didn't do a thing to make them legal. https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/is..._detainers.pdf
DHS could change this in a heartbeat because if these detainers actually constitute probable cause any federal judge in the Country would be willing to sign them, since they refuse to do so one should probably assume that ICE detainers are garbage.
The thing to remember is that Federal law is above state/city laws
Federal law states that it is illegal to harbor/aid an illegal alien....so sanctuary cities are illegal and violating federal law
If Cali wants to become a sanctuary state, it would then (as a state) be in violation of federal law.....
If Cali wants to become a sanctuary state, then they should seriously think about the Calexit idea
Cali is a very large state (land and population)....cali has a large economy (cant remember the exact number something like the 7th, or 9th, or 16th in the world)....Cali also has an extremely large debt
FYI, Cali is the 6th largest economy in the world behind rest of the United States, China, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that California's GDP was $2.5 trillion in 2015, up 4.1 percent from a year earlier.
