On the off chance you're sincere but not well educated on this topic:
> What are you talking about?
Kamala Harris was DA for SF during the early 2010s, where she explicitly backed the city's sanctuary policies.
As CA AG she opposed the "Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act", which was aimed at deterring sanctuary cities through withholding of federal funding.
In the 2024 presidential election she was the Democratic candidate.
This is all on her Wikipedia page.
Can you answer my question?
> Oh, so these Democrat sanctuary cities are in open rebellion against the party?
- raw_anon_1111 6mo agoWell, your original statement was “Let's not enforce any immigration law, and subsidize those here illegally” and then brought up sanctuary cities. It’s not the city or states job to enforce federal immigration laws. This was confirmed by the Supreme Court https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/07/supreme-court-denies-floridas-request-to-enforce-state-law-on-illegal-immigration/ https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/07/supreme-court-denies-flor... In other words your argument is prima facie irrelevant. The city or state is not responsible for “enforcing immigration laws” Just on the off chance you don’t know this…
- youarentrightjr 6mo ago> It’s not the city or states job to enforce federal immigration laws. This has never been claimed nor intimated in this entire thread. I can tell you're having a difficult time understanding what I'm saying. Let me rephrase it for you: - If the policy of the Democratic Party is that immigration laws should be enforced - Why does the party tolerate Democratic sanctuary cities? - Why does the Democratic party source presidential candidates who have in practice (not simply in word) opposed the immigration law enforcement policy?
- raw_anon_1111 6mo ago> Let's not enforce any immigration law, and subsidize those here illegally And then sanctuary cities was mentioned. Whether they supported or opposed anything on the state level is completely irrelevant - it’s not there job Once you brought up sanctuary cities - you are making a completely irrelevant argument.

- raw_anon_1111 6mo agoAgain your argument is irrelevant. The Supreme Court has just as often struck down gun laws where a city couldn’t do anything about it. Your question isn’t in good faith. Desantis also tried to do something about immigration and the Supreme Court said he couldn’t do it . What part of immigration is not the purvue of state government is hard to understand? Oh and Obama deported more people than Trump..

- youarentrightjr 6mo agoFlagging my comments doesn't make you right by the way. > The Supreme Court has just as often struck down gun laws where a city couldn’t do anything about it. You're exposing your ignorance by showing you don't know what "sanctuary city" means. Sanctuary cities aren't contrasted with non-sanctuary cities where a sanctuary city's police officers don't arrest people for immigration offenses. The contrast is because the city impedes federal investigations into immigration matters. It's patently false to say that cities "can't do anything" about gun violations. There are plenty of examples of cities not impeding, or even assisting, the ATF in these scenarios.
- Schiendelman 6mo agoIt's been pointed out to you repeatedly that city police officers don't arrest people for immigration violations. That's not their job. It was never their job.
