Texas makes attempt to eliminate Sanctuary Cities in-state.

Senate Bill 4 filed for upcoming session. Top 10 priority for Texas Governor Abbott.
Texas may soon lead the nation in eliminating this cancer of lawlessness from our law officials.
Notice anything in common between the Dallas and Austin sheriffs?
Texas may soon lead the nation in eliminating this cancer of lawlessness from our law officials.
quote:
“No city in Texas should be allowed to ignore the law,” Governor Patrick stated. “We will end this practice once and for all this session.”
“By electing a Republican president and Republican majorities in Congress, the American people made it clear that solving our illegal immigration crisis must be a priority,” Senator Charles Perry said in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas. “That starts by eliminating sanctuary cities, securing our border, and enforcing the immigration laws we currently have on the books. We cannot sit idly by and allow local policies to undercut efforts made at the federal and state level.”
The five key provisions of Perry’s SB 4 were discussed by the senator’s staff with Breitbart Texas. Those provisions are:
Municipalities are forced to comply with immigration detainers;
Municipalities cannot prohibit or discourage officers from inquiring about immigration status during a lawful stop;
State grants will be withheld if the Attorney of Texas finds an entity is in violation of law;
The immigration status must be recorded in a person’s case file; and
The bill protects witnesses and victims of crimes if they are here illegally.
quote:
The issue may come to a head quickly in the state’s capital county, Travis, where Sheriff-elect Sally Hernandez has pledged to remove Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from the county jail.
“I just don’t think you solve the criminal justice process by deporting them,”
quote:
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez also pledged to disregard immigration detainers from ICE on a case-by-case basis in October, Breitbart Texas reported. This prompted Texas Governor Greg Abbott to fire off a letter to the sheriff stating that her sanctuary city-like policies would “no longer be tolerated in Texas.”

Why can't the Texas Supreme Court override the Austin sanctuary city mandate? Why does this rely on the legislature?

How can they be legally doing this?
They're just trying to bluff Trump. This is all a test of his nuts. They won't last a week without federal funding.

So if you've got loss of both state and federal funds, the citizens better be damn well committed to this line of thinking that they want to protect illegals in their community, because they are going to pay for it through some extremely high local taxes.

I think I see the problem here.
BTW, what in the hell does she mean by "solve the criminal justice process?" How is the process helped by ignoring the legal process of removing criminal illegals from the country?
Austin needs to move to California.

If DC can threaten to withhold 5% of funding for roads for not raising the drinking age, I don't see how they cannot withhold funding for allowing sanctuary cities.
I'm a huge Tenth Amendment advocate, and pretty liberal on immigration policy, but the thoughts of "sanctuary cities" where valid federal law is ignored is simply mind blowingly stupid. Immigration and nationality laws are expressly granted to the federal government in the Constitution, there is no valid argument for ignoring federal law here.

There is no Texas state law discussing sanctuary cities or immigration, only federal law. State judges can only rule on state laws. If this bill is approved and signed into law, I am sure a SJW will file suit against it and then Texas SC will have a chance to rule.

I am against sanctuary cities also, but with this mind set you must be against all the places that have legalized marijuana.

No. The state's have police powers granted to them through the 10th Amendment, including the power to legislate health and safety issues for their residents, which covers drug usage. In Article 1 Section 8, Congress is granted the power to determine a uniform set of naturalization laws, preempting state's from determining their own immigration laws.

My question is, if the federal law must be enforced by state and local authorities, do you agree that marijuana laws should also be required to be enforced?

Read the post directly above yours for your answer.

So no local enforcement of any federal laws?
That's bullshite. These local guys enforce federal laws all the time when it's to their benefit, such as if they can piggy back on federal violations to get a guy that has been hard to catch.
They are liars.

Texas Oath of Office for all public officials in Texas.
EXAMPLE:
quote:
"I, ________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office ________________, of the City of ________________, State of Texas, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and Laws of the United States and of this State and the Charter and Ordinances of this city; and I furthermore solemnly swear (or affirm), that I have not directly or indirectly paid, offered, or promised to pay, contributed, nor promised to contribute any money or valuable thing, or promised any public office or employment as a reward for the giving or withholding a vote at the election at which I was elected, or if the office is one of appointment, to secure my appointment. So help me God."
This habit of talking out of your arse is disturbing. Do you EVER do any research before commenting, or do you just make assumptions for everything in life?

No, because I think federal drug laws are an over reach, at least in terms of dictating where weed should be legal. The Feds should have control over importation of drugs, like all trade, and there is some issues with the Feds having interstate commerce power (the ruling for the California home growing pot law focused on the interstate commerce clause), but overall state drug laws should fall under state police power and 10th Amendment protection. Immigration and naturalization laws are expressly granted to Congress in the Constitution, so state's have no choice but to comply with them (see Arizona trying to make stricter immigration enforcement laws and SCOTUS finding preemption).
