Senators Graham & Ted Cruz Announce Legislation Allowing Victims Of Violence To Sue Sanctuary Cities

[Cecilie1200]

because the left media protected Obama

So did Fox, never bothering to check up on Joan Rivers, Paul Horner, Don Young, and the rest of the dead in the wake of keeping the closet door shut....

In April of 2014, the House Judiciary Committee discovered something else that should have resulted in impeachment. On orders from their master, Mr. Netanyahu, the GOP caved and let the Cocksucker finish his term out....

but now, with William Barr as AG, that might actually COME OUT, and when it does, it will expose the GOP as being

COMPLETELY IN BED WITH THE COCKSUCKER AND HIS TRANS PARTNER....

. . . Aaaaand FLUSH! goes the anti-Semite!

 

[Cecilie1200]

Can't see this going far, so called 'sanctuary' cities/states aren't breaking any laws.

And what gave you the ignorant notion that one has to be breaking a law in order to be sued?

 

[Cecilie1200]

we should have voted for Lyin Ted instead of Trump! Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz Announce New Legislation Allowing Victims of Violence to Sue Sanctuary Cities

didn't vote for Trump,

wouldn't have voted for Cruz

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you voted for either Chris Christie or Crazy Bernie.

no vote for president cast.

(how could anyone vote for Cruz after 'Green eggs and Ham'?)

Sorry, what was there about that which disqualified him, in your opinion?

And I believe the voting for Cruz being referenced would have been in the primary, not the general.

 

[basquebromance]

this is what happens when you put country over party. Dems can learn a thing or two from Senator Graham!

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

You can't knowingly harbor them if they aren't illegal they wouldn't need sanctuary
You can't warn them about ICE RAIDS

A city can't warn them about ICE raids, but can be passive as fuck when it comes to helping ICE.

The Fed Gov can also be passive as fuck when doling out federal funds.

More stupidity from the gop. There is no way that complicity could ever be proven in court. There would have to be a connection between the individual who committed the crime and a government official of some sort.

The notion that "illegals" vote, and vote in large numbers, has never been proven and is a fiction that is believed only by the incredibly ignorant.

Spoken like a frothing dimwit who didn't bother to read the link she then presumed to attack . . . which fits with the fact that you ARE all those things.

Had you bothered to read any of the information provided in this story, you would know that the specifics needed for the lawsuit are contained in the legislation . . . which is the purpose of legislation, of course.

From the press release linked in the story:

Major provisions of the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act of 2019

Defining a “Sanctuary Jurisdiction”
The legislation defines a sanctuary jurisdiction as any state or political subdivision (including a county or city) that has a statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that restricts a government official or entity from receiving or maintaining information about the immigration status of an individual, including refusing to comply with lawful detainer requests made by DHS or the notification of the release of an illegal immigrant. A jurisdiction would not be deemed a “sanctuary jurisdiction” based solely on policies where officials do not share information or comply with detainers for illegal immigrants who come forward as a victim or a witness to a criminal offense.

Establishing civil action for the victims or family members of crimes committed by illegal immigrants benefitting from a sanctuary policy
The legislation establishes a private right of action for any individual, spouse, or child who is a victim a violent crime or felony that was a result of a sanctuary jurisdiction failing to comply with a lawful request made by the Department of Homeland Security and refused to comply with a detainer or notify DHS about the release of an illegal immigrant.

Look! How you would prove the connection and complicity for purposes of this bill! Right there!

Why the fuck you're babbling about voting is anyone's guess.

Now wipe the spittle from your chin and head back to your padded room for a nice nap.

What is it that keeps them from doing so now?

The courts, mainly. How do you prove that the violence still wouldn't have happened even if the city didn't have sanctuary status?

The legislation basically estabishes that 1) the violence was committed by an illegal, and 2) it was committed in a jurisdiction which has an official policy of not complying with legal requests from ICE/Homeland Security regarding illegals, and that constitutes grounds for the suit. It doesn't appear to require any proof that it wouldn't have happened otherwise.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Actually they are.

Neat, what laws?

violating immigration laws.
1907. TITLE 8, U.S.C. 1324(A)

And?

You asked what law was being violated
Harboring -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.

Encouraging/Inducing -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) makes it an offense for any person who -- encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law.

Conspiracy/Aiding or Abetting -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(v) expressly makes it an offense to engage in a conspiracy to commit or aid or abet the commission of the foregoing offenses.

And Corey Booker violated this part
Bringing Aliens to the United States -- Subsection 1324(a)(2) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has not received prior authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever, such alien, regardless of any official action which may later be taken with respect to such alien.

Where is the states responsibility? They are not required to chase down those who are here illegally, that's the feds job.

That was also in the article you didn't read before pontificating on it anyway.

Their responsibility is to do the exact opposite of their "sanctuary" policies, ie. to comply with legal requests from ICE/Homeland Security.

But thanks for the straw man of "chase down". Good to see you frantically ginning up "outrage" about something no one said, because it's excellent proof that we're on the right track, and you're scared shitless of it.

Again read the law you might finally comprehend why you're ignorant for saying " 'sanctuary' cities/states aren't breaking any laws."

I'm asking you, where are states and cities required to enforce federal immigration laws? They aren't even required to attain their immigration status.

Here is a good read:
It's not local law enforcement’s responsibility to do ICE's job

I'm asking YOU, why are you asking about things that no one suggested?

You want a good read, try the link you're bitching about.

[my2¢]

I'd guess that the proposed law would be ruled unconstitutional. My understanding is that federal law enforcement is the responsibility of the federal government. If I had to place a bet though I'd limit it to $10, because my background on this mostly consists of old movies in which G-man and revenuers handle bootleggers and moonshiners.

 

[Lysistrata]

What a really shitty piece of legislation. Local government should be able to step out of the picture. If the orange slut wants to send his henchmen, let them do their jobs themselves without forcing the locals to cooperate with them.

They should be able to sue the city leaders otherwise its just another bill for the taxpayer.

The law is everybody's duty to uphold-whether you like it or not.

Where was this four years ago when it would have passed the House?

Legislation that won't get past the Democrats isn't legislation at all. Its nothing more than a headline.

It's a reason to vote Republican in 2020.

What is it that keeps them from doing so now?

The concept of soverign immunity, i.e. the government isn't responsible for the outcomes of the laws it passes.
