Mexico’s Immigration Law: Let’s Try

http://humanevents.com/2006/05/08/mexicos-immigration-law-lets-try-it-here-at-home/
·
Mexico has a radical idea for a
rational immigration policy that most Americans would love. However, Mexican
officials haven’t been sharing that idea with us as they press for our Congress
to adopt the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill.
That’s too
bad, because Mexico, which
annually deports more illegal
aliens than the
United States does, has
much to teach us about how it handles
the immigration issue. Under Mexican
law, it is a felony to
be an illegal alien in
Mexico.
At a time when
the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with
foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look
at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to
solve
our illegal immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
our illegal immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
§ in the country
legally;
§ have the means
to sustain themselves economically;
§ not destined
to be burdens on society;
§ of economic
and social benefit to society;
§ of good
character and have no criminal records; and
§ contributors
to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that:
§ immigration
authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
§ foreign
visitors do not violate their visa status;
§ foreign
visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
§ foreign
visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
§ foreign
visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
§ those who aid
in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
Who could disagree with such a law? It
makes perfect sense. The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of
citizens — and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal
and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de PoblaciĆ³n, or
General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.

It is an interesting law — and one
that should cause us all to ask, Why is our great southern neighbor pushing us
to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration
restrictions are the toughest on the continent? If a felony is a
crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
If the United States adopted such
statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce it as a manifestation of American
racism and bigotry.
We looked at
the immigration provisions of the Mexican
constitution. [1] Now let’s
look at Mexico’s main immigration law.
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who
will be useful to Mexican society:
§ Foreigners are
admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to
national progress.” (Article 32)
§ Immigration
officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the
country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for
their dependents. (Article 34)
§ Foreigners may
be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the
national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or
national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own
country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be
physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
§ The Secretary
of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he
determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)
Mexican authorities must keep track of
every single person in the country:
§ Federal, local
and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon
request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
§ A National
Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the
population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles
85 and 86)
§ A national
Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and
assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
Foreigners with fake papers, or who
enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
§ Foreigners
with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
§ Foreigners who
sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from
that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article
116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules
will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:
§ Foreigners who
fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
§ Foreigners who
are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without
authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
§ Foreigners who
violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison
(Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their
visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be
imprisoned.
Under Mexican law, illegal immigration
is a felony. The General Law on Population says,
§ “A penalty of
up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos
will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
§ Foreigners
with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being
imprisoned. (Article 125)
§ Foreigners who
“attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article
126)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter
the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
§ A Mexican who
marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in
the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
§ Shipping and
airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined.
(Article 132)
All of the above runs contrary to what
Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between
Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American
immigration preachings is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.
immigration preachings is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.
Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its
unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy. Let’s propose, just to
make a point, that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member
nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a
model.

World's smallest violin plays for illegals who are afraid to take food stamps
I remember a time, not so long ago, when the liberal media's position was that illegal aliens didn't go on welfare; in fact, we were repeatedly reassured, it was prohibited by law for illegals to go on welfare.
Well, times have changed, and the liberal media now feel so confident in pushing their illegal immigration agenda that they not only trumpet the fact that illegals are on welfare programs, but complain when not enough of them are taking taxpayer money!
Well, times have changed, and the liberal media now feel so confident in pushing their illegal immigration agenda that they not only trumpet the fact that illegals are on welfare programs, but complain when not enough of them are taking taxpayer money!
It seems that the Trump administration is preparing a rule which would make it less likely to grant citizenship to illegal aliens who are on welfare, and illegals, who are also scared of being deported, are dropping out of welfare programs.
The Department of Homeland Security has drafted a regulation that would allow officials to factor in the use of benefits – like WIC, SNAP, the Children's Health Insurance Program and even housing and transit subsidies – when deciding whether to approve some visa or green card applications.
A leaked draft of the proposal first published by Vox showed that immigrants seeking an adjustment of status, such as those applying for permanent residency, "must establish that they are not likely at any time to become a public charge" or rely heavily on long-term government assistance, lest they be deemed "inadmissible."
A study conducted by the National Academies of Sciences showed that 45.3 percent of all immigrant-headed households with children use a food assistance program.
In New Jersey, three neighboring counties – Union, Essex and Hudson – have immigrant populations above 25 percent, according to census data. In those counties, participation in some elements of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey's outreach programming fell by almost half between 2016 and 2017, according to Julienne Cherry, the bank's director of agency relations.A drop of 50%. We are constantly told that there are "only" 11 million illegal aliens, but when they are "above 25%" of the populations of some counties and half the case load of welfare programs, there's got to be a lot more.
By the way, the article above uses the word "immigrant," which, when used by the media, has now become virtually synonymous with "illegal alien."
Adele LaTourette, the director of the New Jersey Anti-Hunger Coalition, said a church food pantry specifically organized as a safe space for immigrants has seen "unprecedented decline," as have reduced-cost breakfast and lunch programs in schools.I guess the immigrant safe space isn't so safe.
Missing entirely from this article is a discussion of whether we should be admitting immigrants, legally or otherwise, who are a burden to the federal taxpayer.
We are constantly told how virtuous illegal aliens are, how hardworking they are, and how much they contribute to our economy. It troubles me that the above line of propaganda, that virtuous illegals are not receiving welfare, is at cross purposes with the propaganda that all illegals are big contributors to society. It reminds me of 1984, when Winston Smith was forced to believe two contradictory facts at the same time.
As for me, I would be more interested in an exploration of counties that have greater than 25% "immigrant" populations. After a certain point in time, citizens become a minority in their own country. But don't expect a New York Times article about that.

Defiant: Jerry Brown, Kamala Harris, Xavier Becerra Slam ‘Bully’ Jeff Sessions
California’s leading elected officials responded defiantly Tuesday evening to a Department of Justice lawsuit that seeks to have the state’s “sanctuary” laws declared unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause.
The lawsuit, filed in Sacramento, seeks to overturn the Immigrant Worker Protection Act (HB 450), the Inspection and Review of Facilities Housing Federal Detainees law (AB 103); and the California Values Act (SB 54), otherwise known as the “Sanctuary State” law.
In response, Gov. Jerry Brown led the state’s Democrats in pushing back, imitating President Donald Trump’s tweeting style:
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a first-term Senator who is among the leading prospects for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, also weighed in:

And California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who has led the state’s efforts to mount a legal “resistance” to the Trump administration and its policies, vowed — ironically, perhaps — to defend the principle of law enforcement:
In remarks prepared for a speech to law enforcement officers in Sacramento on Wednesday morning, Sessions plans to say: “The Department of Justice and the Trump administration are going to fight these unjust, unfair, and unconstitutional policies that have been imposed on you.”

APPROXIMATELY HALF THE POPULATION OF CA IS NOW MEXICAN AND BREEDING ANCHOR BABIES FOR WELFARE LIKE BUNNIES. THE $22 BILLION IS STATE EXPENDITURE ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY LEADING AT OVER A BILLION DOLLARS PAID OUT YEARLY TO MEXICO’S ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS. NOW MULTIPLY THAT BY THE NUMBER OF COUNTIES IN CA AND YOU START TO GET AN IDEA OF THE STAGGERING WELFARE STATE MEXICO AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE ERECTED SANS ANY LEGALS VOTES. ADD TO THIS THE FREE ENTERPRISE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC COST FOR LA RAZA’S “FREE” MEDICAL WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1.5 BILLION PER YEAR.
Liberals claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true. It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6 billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.

Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.

If Immigration Creates Wealth, Why Is California America's Poverty Capital?
California used to be home to America's largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it is America's poverty capital. What went wrong? In a word: immigration. According to the U.S. Census Bureau'...: The Golden State is peddling fool's gold lately.
California used to be home to America's largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it is America's poverty capital. What went wrong? In a word: immigration.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Official Poverty Measure, California's poverty rate hovers around 15 percent. But this figure is misleading: the Census Bureau measures poverty relative to a uniform national standard, which doesn't account for differences in living costs between states – the cost of taxes, housing, and health care are higher in California than in Oklahoma, for example. Accounting for these differences reveals that California's real poverty rate is 20.6 percent – the highest in America, and nearly twice the national average of 12.7 percent.
Likewise, income inequality in California is the second-highest in America, behind only New York. In fact, if California were an independent country, it would be the 17th most unequal country on Earth, nestled comfortably between Honduras and Guatemala. Mexico is slightly more egalitarian. California is far more unequal than the "social democracies" it emulates: Canada is the 111th most unequal nation, while Norway is far down the list at number 153 (out of 176 countries). In terms of income inequality, California has more in common with banana republics than other "social democracies."
More Government, More Poverty
High taxes, excessive regulations, and a lavish welfare state – these are the standard explanations for California's poverty epidemic. They have some merit. For example, California has both the highest personal income tax rate and the highest sales tax in America, according to Politifact.
Not only are California's taxes high, but successive "progressive" governments have swamped the state in a sea of red tape. Onerous regulations cripple small businesses and retard economic growth. Kerry Jackson, a fellow with the Pacific Research Institute, gives a few specific examples of how excessive government regulation hurts California's poor. He writes in a recent op-ed for the Los Angeles Times:
Extensive environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions make energy more expensive, also hurting the poor. By some estimates, California energy costs are as much as 50% higher than the national average. Jonathan A. Lesser of Continental Economics ... found that "in 2012, nearly 1 million California households faced ... energy expenditures exceeding 10% of household income."
Some government regulation is necessary and desirable, but most of California's is not. There is virtue in governing with a "light touch."
Finally, California's welfare state is, perhaps paradoxically, a source of poverty in the state. The Orange Country Register reports that California's social safety net is comparable in scale to those found in Europe:
In California a mother with two children under the age of 5 who participates in these major welfare programs – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), housing assistance, home energy assistance, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children – would receive a benefits package worth $30,828 per year.
... [Similar] benefits in Europe ranged from $38,588 per year in Denmark to just $1,112 in Romania. The California benefits package is higher than in well-known welfare states as France ($17,324), Germany ($23,257) and even Sweden ($22,111).
Although welfare states ideally help the poor, reality is messy. There are three main problems with the welfare state. First, it incentivizes poverty by rewardingthe poor with government handouts that are often far more valuable than a job. This can be ameliorated to some degree by imposing work requirements on welfare recipients, but in practice, such requirements are rarely imposed. Second, welfare states are expensive. This means higher taxes and therefore slower economic growth and fewer job opportunities for everyone – including the poor.
Finally, welfare states are magnets for the poor. Whether through domestic migration or foreign immigration, poor people flock to places with generous welfare states. This is logical from the immigrant's perspective, but it makes little sense from the taxpayer's. This fact is why socialism and open borders arefundamentally incompatible.
Why Big Government?
Since 1960, California's population exploded from 15.9 to 39 million people. The growth was almost entirely due to immigration – many people came from other states, but the majority came from abroad. The Public Policy Institute of California estimates that 10 million immigrants currently reside in California. This works out to 26 percent of the state's population.
BLOG: COME TO MEXIFORNIA! HALF OF LOS ANGELES 15 MILLION ARE ILLEGALS!
This figure includes 2.4 million illegal aliens, although a recent study from Yale University suggests that the true number of aliens is at least double that. Modifying the initial figure implies that nearly one in three Californians is an immigrant. This is not to disparage California's immigrant population, but it is madness to deny that such a large influx of people has changed California's society and economy.
Importantly, immigrants vote Democrat by a ratio higher than 2:1, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies. In California, immigration has increased the pool of likely Democrat voters by nearly 5 million people, compared to just 2.4 million additional likely Republican voters. Not only does this almost guarantee Democratic victories, but it also shifts California's political midpoint to the left. This means that to remain competitive in elections, the Republicans must abandon or soften many conservative positions so as to cater to the center.
California became a Democratic stronghold not because Californians became socialists, but because millions of socialists moved there. Immigration turned California blue, and immigration is ultimately to blame for California's high poverty level.

“Thirteen years after welfare reform, the share of immigrant-headed households (legal and illegal) with a child (under age 18) using at least one welfare program continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large share of immigrants with low levels of education and their resulting low incomes — not their legal status or an unwillingness to work. The major welfare programs examined in this report include cash assistance, food assistance, Medicaid, and public and subsidized housing.” Steven A. Camarota

"Congress must prioritize four repairs for the immigration system before contemplating any DACA-style amnesty negotiation, said Brat: 1. Ending chain migration and the visa lottery; 2. Mandating employer use of E-Verify; 3. Construction of a southern border wall; and 4. Interior enforcement of immigration law." REP. DAVE BRAT
JUDICIAL WATCH:
America builds the La Raza “The Race” Mexican welfare state
Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. Taxpayers a Stunning $134.9 Billion a Year
HEAR THAT SUCKING SOUND?
IT’S MEXICO SUCKING THE BLOOD OF AMERICA…. HUNDREDS OF
BILLIONS FOR WELFARE, “FREE” HEALTHCARE, HEROIN SALES, CRIME
COST AND THEN THEY SEND TENS OF BILLIONS BACK TO NARCOMEX
“In the U.S. the remittances that come of illegal immigration drive down U.S. wages, particularly of those on the lowest-skilled parts of the ladder, and as money flows out from local communities, leaves them underinvested and run-down. Nobody can live two places at once. Illegal immigrants live here but their money lives in Mexico. And it's often untaxed.” MONICA SHOWALTER
WE CAN’T REBUILD THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS UNTIL WE PUSH
MEXICO OUT OF OUR BORDERS AND PRO-AMNESTY POLITICIANS AND
BILLIONAIRES OVER THE CLIFF!
THE INVADING CRIMINALS:

DOJ Court Filings: U.S. Constitution Forbids California Sanctuary City Laws
Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to file a lawsuit on behalf of President Donald Trump and his administration against the State of California, Gov. Jerry Brown, and Attorney General Xavier Becerra, seeking a court order that California’s sanctuary city laws violate the U.S. Constitution. This case is likely ultimately heading to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“In this action, the United States seeks a declaration invalidating and … enjoining the enforcement of certain provisions of California law,” the 18-page lawsuit begins. “These provisions are preempted by federal law and impermissibly discriminate against the United States, and therefore violate the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.”
“The United States has undoubted, preeminent authority to regulate immigration matters,” the initial complaint continues. “This authority derives from the United States Constitution and numerous acts of Congress. California has no authority to enforce laws that obstruct or otherwise conflict with, or discriminate against, federal immigration enforcement efforts.”
Sessions’ lawsuit targets three California laws: one that makes it illegal for employers to cooperate with the U.S. government on immigration matters, one that makes it illegal for California police to cooperate with U.S. government agents, and one where California Attorney General Xavier Becerra claims the power to inspect federal detention facilities.
“The Constitution affords Congress the power to ‘establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization,’ and to ‘regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and affords the President of the United States the authority to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,’” the DOJ’s civil complaint continues.
It then quotes the Supremacy Clause, which provides, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land … any Thing in the … Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
“Thus, a state enactment is invalid if it stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress, or if it discriminates against the United States or those with whom it deals,” the court papers read, quoting various Supreme Court cases.
Citing various Supreme Court precedents, the complaint then continues:
Based on its enumerated powers and its constitutional power as a sovereign to control and conduct relations with foreign nations, the United States has broad authority to establish immigration laws, the execution of which States cannot obstruct or discriminate against.
DOJ then cites various federal laws and regulations the California statues violate and quotes the Supreme Court’s holding in Arizona v. United States that Congress has “enacted a comprehensive framework for combating the employment of illegal aliens.”
The Trump-Sessions DOJ then also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, asking for a federal court order blocking California’s laws even while litigation is ongoing in “order to avoid ongoing, irreparable harm to the United States and its interests.”
“California is intentionally obstructing the enforcement of federal law in violation of the Supremacy Clause,” the 49-page court filing begins, then unpacks its legal arguments as to why the Constitution is on the side of the Trump administration.
The case has not yet been assigned to a federal district judge at the time of this filing but will be assigned and scheduled for briefing and argument in the near future. From there, the case will go to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the Ninth Circuit, where it faces an uphill battle. But afterward, it is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, possibly reaching that final court sometime in 2019.
The case is United States v. California, No. 18-264 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.

DoJ to sue California over sanctuary city policies
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/03/doj_to_sue_california_over_sanctuary_city_policies.html
By Rick Moran
Yes, elections have consequences.
The Department of Justice has filed suit against the state of California that alleges obstruction of federal immigration enforcement. The suit is against three California laws that were passed this year that make it harder for the federal government to enforce immigration law. Politico:
The litigation is modeled on a lawsuit the Obama administration filed in 2010 against a controversial state law in Arizona that sought to crack down on illegal immigrants [sic], SB 1070. That case resulted in a Supreme Court ruling finding that some provisions of the Arizona law unconstitutionally intruded into Congress' right to set federal immigration policy.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is traveling to California to tout the new lawsuit on Wednesday morning in a speech to law enforcement officials in Sacramento.
"The Department of Justice and the Trump administration are going to fight these unjust, unfair and unconstitutional policies that have been imposed on you," Sessions will tell the California Peace Officers Association meeting, according to excerpts of his planned remarks. "We are fighting to make your jobs safer and to help you reduce crime in America. And I believe we are going to win."
California Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Xavier Becerra, both of whom were named as defendants in the suit, denounced the Trump administration's action.
"At a time of unprecedented political turmoil, Jeff Sessions has come to California to further divide and polarize America. Jeff, these political stunts may be the norm in Washington, but they don't work here. SAD!!!" Brown wrote on Twitter.
How about the irony of using an Obama administration procedure that targeted state enforcement of immigration law to battle sanctuary cities? Sweet.
The state attorney general says they are following the Constitution. But of what country?
"We're following the Constitution and federal law," the state attorney general said in a conference call with reporters. "We're doing nothing to intrude in the work of the federal government to do immigration enforcement. We recognize and respect that the federal government has authority over immigration enforcement."
The state Senate leader, Kevin de LeĆ³n, said California won't help federal officials "rip children from the arms of their mothers."
Oh, the humanity! Don't liberals ever get tired of gross exaggeration?
The Trump administration's lawsuit comes as top federal immigration officials are seething at California officials for flouting federal immigration laws. Just last week, the senior official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Thomas Homan, blasted Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for warning residents about impending immigration raids. Homan said the move put officers at risk.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen lauded the decision to file the suit.
"California has chosen to purposefully contradict the will and the responsibility of the Congress to protect our homeland," Nielsen said in a statement. "I appreciate the efforts of Attorney General Sessions and the Department of Justice to uphold the rule of law and protect American communities."
Some Republicans immediately praised the lawsuit as putting the federal government's authority first.
"Homeland security and immigration is primarily a federal government responsibility," Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford tweeted. "To keep families safe and maintain an orderly immigration system, states must work with, not against, federal entities."
On a practical level, this suit will be tied up in court for years and will almost certainly land at the Supreme Court. What will the make-up of the court be at that time? I know many people who hated Trump who voted for him because they were terrified of what would happen if Hillary Clinton got to name two or three Supreme Court justices – not to mention continue the Obama administration's assault on the federal judiciary.
Yes, elections have consequences. Republicans who are disgusted with their party should think about that before deciding to stay home next November.
