He has no choice. If he is going to have an effective
Presidency--and I guarantee you, he is committed to an effective
Presidency--there will be no sanctuary jurisdiction left in this
country within several months or a year as this grinds through and as
people like Mayor Rahm Emanuel are brought to bear and they begin to be
reminded by, hopefully, the new Attorney General, maybe as soon as
tomorrow, Jeff Sessions, that 8 U.S.C. 1324 means what it says: It is a
felony to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection or attempt to
conceal, harbor, or shield from detection any such alien in any place,
including a building or transportation--meaning anywhere. It is a
serious felony.
8 U.S.C. 1373, sanctuary cities, just the policy is a violation of
Federal law. And then when you have control of the purse strings, Mr. Speaker, and you cut off the Federal funds going to these
jurisdictions, there isn't hardly anybody that is going to face this.
