Yea that's what I mean. What else is there to do when cities or States go rogue?
Soon there won't be a United States of anything.
Empowering local government implicitly means giving them the ability to tell DC to go to hell.
I guess you're not a states rights fan?

well, if they are allowed to ignore immigration law and not enforce it but still get federal money then they should be allowed to not enforce any laws and still be entitled to federal money.

Immigration is a federal responsibility. Check the 9th and 10th amendments.
Then perhaps the feds should go to those cities and enforce it themselves.
Careful what you wish for, you just may get it.

I'm not personally a big fan of big government or an all-powerful federal government, but it is firmly established in law that immigration enforcement falls to the feds. If more feds are needed due to historical malfeasance and local opposition, then so be it.
