Title: San Francisco Sues Over Sanctuary Cities
Post by: Ben on March 09, 2017, 09:32:48 AM

Maybe the lawyers can weigh in. From what is in the article, it sounds like San Francisco is almost making the federal government's argument for them.

“These entitlement programs are not the president’s to take away from those in need, and San Francisco is not one to back down from a bully,” Herrera said.

I'm pretty sure, since we're only talking about removing federal funding, that they ARE the President's to take away.

"State sovereignty" means that they're entitled to federal money? I'd like to see the legal pretzel behind that argument.

You forget who the judges are out there in the PRC.
