The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Then they should be working to overturn the Sanctuary City laws, which enable all the scenarios that you say liberals are fighting against.

That's a complete non-sequitur. Rape and murder are not federal crimes, so they don't even have jurisdiction over those. States/municipalities do. And if they arrest such a person, undocumented or not, they are held. All the sanctuary laws do is not obligate local LEOs to detain folks the Feds want. And, while I'm not sure of the legal difference, that is only folks that have "detainers" issued. They still comply with federal warrants.

It is clear it is an irritation for you (i.e. sanctuary cities), but it does not shield violent criminals in any way (which is what you are implying/stating). And it doesn't shield against federal warrants.
