Since we have plenty of blue states why can't some states opt out from taking refugees ?

[DigitalDrifter]

A majority of the citizenry doesn't want it. Period.

You've polled every single American since Saturday? You've been busy. But you missed a few.

Back in Sept, Rassmussen poll showed majority don't want 'em. Gotta be even higher majority now.

when they are let loose in one state, it will be near impossible to keep them from crossing into another state.

Since in the end there's little doubt that this stupid country will inevitably take these people, and since we have plenty of states ran by imbecile liberals who want them, why then not allow states that do not want this human tidal wave in their states to opt out ?
Seems only fair to me.

There are major slippery slope issues. If you let the red states break the law and freeload on this issue, it will encourage more lawbreaking and freeloading on their part.

That is, when a child throws a tantrum, you don't give in to it, as that guarantees you more tantrums.

So now you are pretending to not understand how polling works?

Obamy's decrees are not law, that comes from Congress, moron.

Immigration policy and law is controlled by the feds. Period. States can't set their own policies, and only a moron would think they can.

States are sovereign, idiot, and they still have plenty of power to decide who the feds can and cannot dump in their states like yesterdays garbage.

What law is it that you think these governors are breaking, idiot.

Majority of what? The first hundred people who don't have Caller ID and don't know enough not to answer the phone at dinner time?

Or the asshole governors who are either just posturing or are ignorant of the law?

What is it about your made-up word that prevented you from clicking the link? The case was decided in 1939. Are you arguing that governors should not have at least a passing acquaintance with the law?

No one has passed a law that discriminates against aliens already legally in the country. We are talking about governors who have stated that they will not cooperate with federal efforts to locate these shit bags in their states.

Well, we'll see who's better informed - the legal community or USMB.

Their cooperation is desired, not required.

States are not "sovereign", and they have absolutely no power to decide who can or cannot live within them.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Do you have any proof that 100% of the legal scholars think that the governors have broken the law? IT would seem that they have consulted with their own legal experts who have given them a green light, so what evidence do you have to the contrary?

No governors have broken the law, as far as I know - they've just lied to their constituents.

God Damn dude...

But hey it is ok for states like Colorado to break federal law on weed?

What a hypocrite

That is simply ignorance on your part.

The Tenth Amendment is fairly similar to an earlier provision outlined in the Articles of Confederation which stated that each individual state shall retain sovereignty, independence, freedom, while possessing every power, right, and jurisdiction that is not expressly delegated to the greater governing body of the United States.

Texas' Sovereign Immunity - Coalition of Texans with Disabilities
What is sovereign immunity?
"Sovereign immunity" is a legal doctrine that says a state may claim an exemption from compliance with a federal law.

This constitutional argument can be used in a court of law to maintain that the United States Congress overstepped its authority by trying to enforce federal laws at the state level. This is a states' rights argument.

Sovereign Immunity in Texas
Currently, the State of Texas claims sovereign immunity in cases involving the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark federal law guaranteeing full civil rights to people with disabilities. This argument has successfully prevented persons claiming discrimination based on disability from having their day in court.

As Attorney General, Greg Abbott contended that the State has immunity from its violations acts of the ADA. Private businesses, Texas cities and counties and even federal actions within Texas are all subject to the ADA. In other words, he does not mean that the ADA doesn't apply in Texas. Rather, a person who wants to sue the State on grounds of discrimination because of disability could have their case dismissed in a court of law. View a list of cases in which the sovereign immunity defense was used (source: Dallas Morning News).

A precedent has been set for this practice. When he was Texas' Attorney General, Abbott went to court to declare that Texas has sovereign immunity from the ADA. Abbott claimed he personally supports the ADA and was only doing his job as an attorney defending his client, the State of Texas. However, though no longer Attorney General, Abbott has stated that, as Governor, he will not support legislation to waive Texas' sovereign immunity from the ADA (source: Texas Disability Issues Forum candidate questionnaire). Current Attorney General Ken Paxton has not publicly stated his position on this issue.

Can you prove that, or is wishing passing for analysis these days?
