Good, Now Sue the Sanctuary Cities!

So the Obama Administration is going to sue the State of Arizona for its Immigration law under the Supremacy Clause – REALLY. Instead of suing over the Arizona law based on how the administration has been attacking it from the outset for some discrimination infractions or for the creation of a new law that infringes on the “rights” of the poor downtrodden illegal aliens; the Department of Justice decided to sue over the Supremacy Clause.

Basically, the feds are saying the Arizona law is trying to supersede federal law by creating a law that is somehow contradictory to established federal law. While the whole lawsuit issue will be solved in court, the Obama Administration really needs to take a look at just where the federal immigration laws are truly being ignored and superseded – “Sanctuary Cities.”

Sanctuary Cities are places where federal immigration laws are not enforced by local law enforcement by direction of and on the written or implied orders of the elected and appointed officials in charge of these cities. Many Politicians, like former Houston Mayor and current Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Bill White, say they are only continuing the inherited standing practices of allowing their cities to remain a sanctuary city. What they are really doing is rejecting federal law, or as the Supremacy Clause calls it, the Law of the Land.

This rejection of federal law is a direct threat to the supremacy clause and if the Department of Justice and the Obama Administration believes that the Arizona law is in violation of the supremacy clause then it would be negligent of them to not file suit against cities such as Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle, Detroit, and New York City.

Auf Wiedersehen,
Bill
