California Is Wrong On Immigration
Mar 7, 2018 Immigration, Law Enforcement
And that state might find out how wrong very soon.
The Trump Administration is suing California claiming the state interfered with immigration enforcement. It is about time a sanctuary state has been taken to court and if things go well we will see a change in sanctuary policies because no court can reasonably uphold this kind of nonsense.
First things first. The Governor, Jerry Brown and his Attorney General, Xavier Becerra are claiming that the federal government has no right here and that the Tenth Amendment is involved and as such they have a right to do as they wish. They are mistaken, of course. The Tenth Amendment only applies to things the Constitution does not delegate to the federal government or prohibit from the states.
[note]The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. US Constitution[/note]
Immigration is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution but the US is granted the power over immigration in Article 1, Section 8, paragraph 10 (Power… To define and punish … offenses against the Law of Nations). There is an excellent article outlining this here. It is important to note that the state of Arizona passed its own immigration reform laws during the Obama regime and those laws nearly mirrored the federal laws. The Court struck those laws down (they were challenged by the Obama regime) because the federal government has supremacy in immigration law (that is the ruling).
Why would Arizona have these laws if they are the same as the feds? Because the federal government was not enforcing the law. The state passed the laws so it could protect itself from the harm federal inaction caused. The Court shot it down. Obama wanted it shot down so that illegals would be able to stay here. This was all swell with liberals because it gave them what they wanted.
Now the feds are challenging California because its laws are opposite federal law and they are preventing the federal government from doing its job. The airhead politicos in CA think they have the right to do this. Funny thing is CA is never concerned with any other state’s right to do things. CA is opposed to states that ban abortion or same sex marriage and will speak out against them. If CA believes it has the right to ignore federal law why can’t other states do so as well?
[note]As an aside, marriage of any kind and abortion are not in any part of the Constitution and would therefore actually be a state’s rights issue.[/note]
The state of California is on shaky ground here BUT it could very well win the suit. Look at how many activist judges have ruled improperly on many issues that have been challenged since Trump became president. These judges base their rulings on their political views and ignore the Constitution for fear of not being invited to the next big liberal cocktail party. Hell, I would not be surprised if the same court that ruled against Arizona ruled in favor of California. This is how out of control the judiciary is.
I think this will eventually make it to the Supreme Court and if those cowards don’t punt the ruling should go in favor of the federal government and against CA. Imagine if CA loses. The cities and states that are sanctuary will start to fall once swept up in the domino effect.
For a very long time liberal policies on immigration have been pushed while the rule of law ignored. Donald Trump is finally enforcing the laws and the liberals do not like it. It is about time we started fighting back against this insanity.
If there is justice in the world we will all see Governor Brown and his AG shown for the fools they are.

Never surrender, never submit.

Boston Firefighter Stabbed; No Gringo Here
Dec 7, 2007 General, Immigration
A Boston firefighter , who went out for takeout food, was attacked by a group of Hispanic males and stabbed twice in his chest. The firefighter, whose name was not released, went to a take out restaurant when a group of Hispanics started harassing him. He tried to avoid confrontation by telling them he only wanted a sandwich. There response was “we don’t want any gringo here.”
The firefighter, trying to avoid confrontation, got in his car and left but the men followed him. He went tot he local fire station (the one he works at) and they jumped him when he got out of his car. He was stabbed twice in the chest and was saved when he rang the bell to the station causing the men to flee. Fortunately, his fellow workers were not on a call and were able to render aid.
The kicker is, the police are not classifying this as a hate crime. The firefighter is white and the attackers Hispanic but somehow this does not fit the definition of a hate crime. Those who read this blog know how I feel about the stupidity of having a “hate” crime but if we have them the laws should apply equally.
Imagine if the victim had been Hispanic or black and had been attacked and stabbed by a group of white men. CASA, the NAACP and the race baiters would be out in full force and the police would not think twice about classifying it as a hate crime. However, since the victim is white they refuse to use that classification.
I would not be surprised to find out that the Hispanic thugs are here ILLEGALLY. Of course, if they are they would be the kind of people sanctuary laws protect so they will report crimes. Hell, if they ever get caught the governor will probably give them driver’s licenses.
I am not holding my breath waiting for them to report their own crimes.
I wonder what the response time for the fire department will be the next time a structure in the Hispanic part of town catches fire?
