Sessions may prosecute sanctuary cities if confirmed

Sen. Jeff Sessions is on record saying so-called “sanctuary cities” that protect illegal immigrants should be prosecuted. He himself may get that chance next year.
Mr. Sessions is president-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be the next attorney general, and if he’s confirmed, he will mark a 180-degree turn from the Obama administration on a host of issues, but nowhere more so than on immigration, where he’s been the Senate’s leading crackdown proponent.
From his first day in office, Mr. Sessions will have the power to strip some federal funding from sanctuary cities, thanks to rulings this year by the Justice Department’s inspector general, who said federal law requires localities to cooperate with immigration agents — and who provided an initial list of a handful of the worst offenders.
“The sanctuary cities thing is huge. I think most jurisdictions are going to fold like a cheap suit,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager at NumbersUSA, which lobbies for stricter immigration laws.

He would also be the chief decider for legal strategy, and legal scholars said they expect him to halt the Obama administration’s practice of “sue-and-settle,” where agencies whose hands are tied invite a lawsuit from interest groups, then quickly agree to settle the case.
Sue-and-settle has been most prominently used by environmental groups who sue the Environmental Protection Agency, forcing new regulations and environmental restrictions that would otherwise have trouble getting through the bureaucracy.

Not a dollar should flow from the Feds to any of those states or cities on January 21st and beyond until that shite stops.

I strongly support prosecuting Sanctuary Cities. I vehemently detest Civil Asset Forfeiture absent charge or conviction. It is a clear, open, and obvious abuse of the due process clause of the 5th amendment, yet it goes unchecked by our courts and our government every single day. It is absolutely sickening.

Why are Republicans so mean to these brave Dreamers!!!

Yep, the first step is enforcement of existing immigration law and then we will talk about changes to the law which most definitely will not include sanctuary cities which are simply a magnet/safe haven for law violators.

Liberalism is dead. The rats are still clinging to the ship, it seems.

Seasonal workers that finished the job and went back home were never the problem.

But unemployment and public assistance will drop so there's that.

before spending scarce resources on prosecuting Chicago, for example, just cut off every dime of federal money. every single penny. give them 6 months-year to see how they fare in their sanctuary: plummeting property values, rising crime, black ghetto riots but i repeat myself. the thugs will eat the thugs... zero sum game... all their shite is hiding behind federal funding. kill the head, the body dies.
