If they ever legalize it around here believe me, that'll change.

We have sanctuary cities/states.

Some say they won't enforce certain immigration laws. Others won't uphold stricter gun laws. Ì think this is how the dissolution of the United States will begin. When I say dissolution, I don't mean completely, but I believe the U.S. will break into 3 to 6 different regions of like minded states.

Igor Panarin, brilliant Russian professor and political scientist, predicted this in the 90s. You can Google him for more information on his theory, but I could potentially see where this could occur, especially with the way federal laws are being ignored or embraced by the largest margin of states to date.

It isn't that sanctuary cities won't uphold immigration laws it is that the police are instructed to not inform ICE (should be a terrorist org for putting kids in cages) when they arrest someone for a unrelated offense. Asking people to prove citizen ship has been shown to make people less likely to contact the police for issues. It boils down to are the police there to prevent and investigate crimes or to do ICE job for them. Since my local dollars pay my police and their pensions I don't want them wasting time with immigration when there are real crimes to be tackled.

There is no federal law that says that local police have to help ICE.

Exactly right. This is what collaboration with ICE looks like:

My mind is blown by that west Virginia thing.

How can anyone look at that and not see blatant bribery by Dow behind such a ruling???

On an entirely unrelated matter, does this board have an HR department?


Anyway, Beto is an empty vessel that leans left instead of right. That made him a significantly better choice than Ted Cruz. As it would, for that matter, John Cornyn...a run he's skipping all together to become one more useless nonentity in the presidential race, offering nothing to no one.

Lol. Trump says Beto has a lot of hand movement. Do you guys think he is purposeful when saying these things or is he really clueless?

In more serious news I read somewhere that the House has voted 420-0 to make all documents in the Mueller report public, this seems quite unprecedented to me that no one voted against would that be fair to say?

Everyone running for president seems like a bad thing to me. It reminds me of my highschool SRC elections. I think more than half the student body chose to run, they ran not because they felt they could win, not because they could achieve something, not because they were the best for the job but because we live in a day and age where everyone is out for themselves, wants the attention and the glory.

These republican and democratic primaries remind me of that. I'm not familiar enough with all these governors and senators but I imagine the vast majority stand no real chance and they porbably know it. They are just muddying the waters and confusing the issues in the grasp for some attention.
