WASHINGTON (AP) — As part of his ongoing efforts to reward donors and provide a much-needed boon to the private prison industry President Donald Trump is urging the House to stiffen the punishment for people who re-enter the U.S. illegally and for “sanctuary” cities and states that refuse to cooperate with federal deportation forces.
Fixed.
Seem like I have read on other sites that a lot of farms are having a hard time getting crops harvested because of workers being blocked from coming in. Wonder when they will start bitching to DC if they aren’t already?

The second bill would strip certain federal grants from states and cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration authorities.
“We held in New York that Congress cannot compel the States to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program. Today we hold that Congress cannot circumvent that prohibition by conscripting the State’s officers directly. The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. It matters not whether policymaking is involved, and no case by case weighing of the burdens or benefits is necessary; such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty.” - Right Wing judicial icon Antonin Scalia in Printz v. United States (95-1478), 521 U.S. 898 (1997)
States Rights — yet another Republican joke.
