Well, 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…

> 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?

  > 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.

      Again 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..

        Flagging 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.

        It'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.

        Oh, thanks Ben. It's not like I said that in the parent comment: > 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. You sanctuary city defenders are real sharp. Hope you find some time this year to figure out "Your Strategy", god knows you need one.
