Re: Texas poised to pass 'Sanctuary City' ban with jail penalty
That was because those laws violated the Constitution. Neither the Federal nor the Texas Constitution protects illegal immigrants from due process. The illegals themselves can push the 5th Amendment as far as not telling on themselves, but once their immigration status discovered by any other means, I don't see how they could claim any other sort of violation stemming from its use.MojaveMan wrote:Be careful what you wish for. It wasn't very long ago that I was VERY happy to see sheriffs standing up to the feds and saying "I will NOT enforce any federal law which violates my constituent's 2nd amendment rights, and will defend their right to keep and bear arms".
I don't think you can cherry pick here - either you think its your sheriff's job to be involved in enforcing federal law, or you don't. I, for one, prefer to keep them separate.
