What planet do we live on?

Its NY, not Iowa.

We need the feds to start pulling sanctuary city funding.

Portland, ME is trying to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections!! :mad:

what is with city living ? does everyone turn into a FSA (Free Stuff Army) libtard or are they born that way ?

By no means am I a conspiracy theorist but there is definitely a lot of crooked shit that goes on with elections. I went to vote a few months back and the people running the station looked like they had one foot in the coffin. They didn’t even want to see my ID and they probably wouldn’t be able to see it anyway. Not too hard to show up and claim to be someone else so you could vote.

> Portland, ME is trying to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections!! :mad:
How could illegal aliens be allowed to vote in a local election? How are people not up in arms about this? Just because they live in a community illegally doesn’t give them the right to vote. They don’t even pay into the system and will get a say. Sounds like the Democrats are running the show up there

We need the feds to start defunding states that have sanctuary cities. You’ll see how fast these states will fall right into line.

**Sanctuary city** is a name given to a city in the United States that follows certain police procedures that shelters illegal immigrants. These procedures can be by law (de jure) or they can be by action (de facto). The term most commonly is used for cities that do not permit municipal funds or resources to be applied in furtherance of enforcement of federal immigration laws. These cities normally do not permit police or municipal employees to inquire about one's immigration status. The designation of Sanctuary City” has no legal meaning.

However, anti-immigrant groups are constantly rallying around Sanctuary Cities, claiming that they breed a host of problems caused by undocumented immigrants. Donald Trump, spearheads this anti-immigrant sentiments and Attorney General Jeff Sessions supports it. Donald Trump signed the executive order that proclaimed that cities and states would only be eligible for certain grants from the Department of Justice if they obeyed federal immigration laws.

On Wednesday, August8, 2017, the 9th Circuit ruled against a provision of the executive order that limited funding to jurisdictions that don’t collaborate with federal immigration enforcement. This executive order was aimed directly at sanctuary cities.

The Court ruled that President Donald Trump’s executive order curbing federal funding to “sanctuary cities” was unconstitutional.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that federal funding could be suppressed through congressional authorization. The appeals court also noticed that the U.S. District Court went too far by obstructing the policy nationwide, and sent back the case for “reconsideration and further findings.”

“We conclude that, under the principle of Separation of Powers and in consideration of the Spending Clause, which vests exclusive power to Congress to impose conditions on federal grants, the Executive Branch may not refuse to disperse the federal grants in question without congressional authorization,” a three-member panel of the 9th Circuit held in its 2-to-1 ruling.

That partly explains Hempstead, Roosevelt, Uniondale and north Freeport ! (Although MS13 has dumped bodies in my Matzohpizza as well.)

Federal Asylum is different from state created safe havens for illegal aliens.

A **federal law** applies to the nation as a whole and to all 50 **states**

ms13 gang members are not granted safe haven...nor any others committing illegal activities.....being undocumented while seeking asylum is not illegal

> We need the feds to start defunding states that have sanctuary cities. You’ll see how fast these states will fall right into line.

states like new york and california with sanctuary fund the feds....while states like Mitch McConnels white power Kentucky minority fearing dirt poor ingnoramuses are a drain on the fed :):)

Please stop clinging to that line of cr@p. Federal expenditures are not transfer payments to states.

Red states are a drain on the rest of the country...better off flying from coast to coast and avoid all the chit in the middle

The nicest thing that could be said about that is it's a mischaracterization, but really it's a flat-out lie. It's not welfare, trying to pretend federal expenditures are somehow a "drain" is BS.
