Some day Anita Franco's diary will be required reading in U.S. Schools so that future generations don't make the same dumb mistakes you're making.

Of course, because enforcing immigration law makes you literally Hitler.

How do you feel about Israel's immigration laws?

Seeing how he won the right to do that in court I'm not sure there would be a strong case against him breaking the law.

It seems to me like he's explicitly breaking the law that I originally posted.

So do you also charge the judge who heard De Blasio's case?

Plus, it was an order to destroy all records, not just those of illegals. And these records were not required in the first place and will not be saved anymore. It was a municipal ID program that is not required by federal law.

Clearly I disagree with the judge's decision, but I would like to see a prosecutor bring charges against De Blasio. I doubt that any prosecutor would be so bold, though.

Mostly because there is no strong legal case against him.

Can you provide a link to that California law? I googled looking for it but could not find it.

I can't find it atm. I've posted it around here at DP before though if you want to look around here. Here's a couple of articles you should read though. One is about California barring LEO's from helping federal authorities. The other one is quite interesting and relates to the first article.

In a Trump-defying move, California's Senate passes sanctuary state bill

California Democrats want a 'sanctuary state' for immigrants here illegally. But those who are felons should be sent packing

This is US law concerning the bringing in and harboring of illegal aliens:

INA 274(a)(1)(A)(iii).
&(2)(A)

Therefore, is it time for the US Department of Justice to pursue and bring charges against politicians who support and authorize sanctuary city policies?

P.S. Sorry about the odd reading and formatting of the law. Legal language isn't pretty.

I accidentally vote no. I meant to vote yes. Politicians who enact and or enforce sanctuary policies should be jailed. Not only should they be jailed they should also be permanently barred from any elected or appointed office. These politicians are a scourge who attract people to illegally enter and illegally stay in our country. They have no business in any public office.

The law was posted above. So if you were a politician and said I am not turning this person over you would be in violation of the law.
The only point from there forward is does a judge have the will convict said politician.

"What are you in for man?"

"I didn't turn a person over."

"You mean you didn't snitch?"

"Yeah, how about you?"

"Murder in the first."

Sounds like it would get rid of all of the illegals. Sounds great!

What you're essentially saying is that illegal immigrants shouldn't have basic access to police protection. That would actually make crimes for natives worse, because as long as you have people who are too scared to go to police, that makes it much easier for criminal gangs to exploit them for things like drug and human trafficking.

They shouldn't. They shouldn't be here.

Or, if they're not here to begin with, then it's not even an issue.

Illegal immigrants still pay taxes, but regardless, it's kind of a stretch to say that they should be denied access to one of the state's basic and non-controversial functions of public safety just for crossing a country's borders without permission from that said county.

Some do, many do not, as they're paid under the table. The ones that do not pay taxes thus have an unfair advantage and steal jobs that Americans would do willingly for decent wages. Illegals paid under the table don't have to pay taxes and get welfare benefits through their children. It's an utterly corrupt system that benefits only employers.

Our law enforcement ought to kick them out immediately upon detection.
