Texas governor says he will ban sanctuary cities

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Not their jurisdiction to enforce immigration law.

The tenth amendment says enforcing immigration laws is up to the states.

[domer76]

not their prerogative to IGNORE immigration law.....

Not their jurisdiction to enforce it.

[domer76]

The tenth amendment says enforcing immigration laws is up to the states.

The tenth amendment is meaningless

[danielpalos]

Show us where. All is can see is where congress is given authority "to establish a uniform rule of naturalization". That hardly means the feds control all immigration issues. THINK.

Only because you are clueless and Causeless. I even gave you a date; 1808.

The tenth amendment is meaningless

HAHAHA. You fascists who want the feds controlling everything wish that were so. The 10A is the heart of the constitution.

Hell with some date. Give us the section of the constitution that says the feds control all immigration issues.

Not their jurisdiction to enforce it.

stop wasting our time......states MUST do what the federal laws order them to do......everything else is just bullshit.....

not enough reasoning skills to go around? immigration is a federal concern, and enjoys a supremacy clause over that concern.

we have a doctrine of separation of powers, for reason.

I'll interject a little fun factoid about the Federal Government and State Law.
If 2 residence of the same state sell one another a gun in a private sale. As long as they abide by the State laws they are in the Feds have absolutely nothing to say about it. No Fed background check nothing.
10th Amendment. Nothing the Feds can do. Period.
Here in Texas if I sell a gun in a private sale I must:
To the best of my ability determine the buyer is 21 or older, a Resident of Texas and not a gang member. I don't have to see his/her ID nothing. To the best of my ability.....that's it. 10th Amendment in full force.
Now if I sold a gun to somebody outside the State all Federal Laws come into play.

????.....the separation of powers deals with the three branches of federal government, not the division between states and the federal government.......you certainly are the Master of Irrelevancy.......

States have a duty for follow federal law.....

But cannot be compelled to enforce federal law except by their own governor.
I am surprised this is a new issue in Texas.

[Rune]

not their prerogative to IGNORE immigration law.....

Yes it is their perrogative.
4 SCOTUS rulings have said so.
Check the anti-commandeering principle of the 10th

[The Only Sarge]

You guys are totally missing the point of what is happening here. Feds have nothing to do with any of this.
Texas has laws that the Sheriff in Dallas/ City of Austin aren't following STATE LAW of harboring illegals/criminals. She and the City of Austin are in deep shit. County/City will be stripped of all State funding and her big ass/Austin mayor and city council can/will be found in Contempt.

I'm impressed that a governor can ban cities.
