Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday called it “unconscionable” that California lawmakers passed a sanctuary state bill that stops local police from cooperating with federal authorities to deport illegal immigrants.
“The bill risks the safety of good law enforcement officers and the safety of the neighborhoods that need their protection the most,” Sessions said during a speech in Portland, Oregon. “There are lives and livelihoods at stake.”
State legislators in California passed sanctuary state legislation over the weekend that bolsters protections for illegal immigrants in the state. The legislation will now be considered by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, who has announced his support for the bill.

Anything that Sessions is for I am against. I have that little respect for the man. So I guess I am now for sanctuary states go figure.

Frankly it's all BS.
8 million working Mexicans can surely be found through their employers, the employers can be fined and forced to pay for the situation they created. By the way Texas had more illegals then I have ever seen in any state. Pretty sure Rick, George, and Gregg know/knew their are and have been millions going to work every day and where to find them in the boom cities across Texas.
When you stop and look at the reality it isn't about the laborers it's about the billions the employers saved by paying under the table.

Just as a weird thought..
We know X number of illegals kill X number of people every year, but how many people are saved by illegals???

Wait, while I agree he is a Tool of the Right, and a broken one at that, what about you..?
You do understand you can despise him and at the same time recognize that the Bill California Lawmakers passed is asinine?

I don't see it as being asinine. The whole reason these sanctuary cities became a thing was because 7 times out of 10 when a state or local police force held an illegal in jail for the federal government to come get the feds never showed up to get 5hem or it was months or even years latter when they did.
Without federal funds to do so why should state government do the feds job?
