Sanctuary cities
|
Sanctuary cities The pushback began immediately after President Donald Trump began carrying out his campaign pledge to clamp down on<b> illegal </font></b>immigration by signing two executive orders on Wednesday. One order called for immediate construction of a wall along the Mexican border, and the other would examine ways to withhold federal grant money to “sanctuary cities” that don’t report immigrants in the country illegally to federal authorities. Boston Mayor Martin Walsh said the city would “not retreat one inch” on its protections for immigrants, while Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel vowed that Chicago would remain a sanctuary city. And New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman asserted that Trump lacks constitutional authority to cut off funding. Potential legal obstacles include: • The 1987 Supreme Court case South Dakota v. Dole, which said congressional grant restrictions should promote the general welfare and relate to the federal interest in a particular national project or program. The decision upheld the withholding of federal highway funds to states that did not enforce a national drinking age. • A 2012 Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act that found Congress couldn’t withdraw existing Medicaid funds from states that refuse to go along with the law’s Medicaid expansion. An opinion in the case by Chief Justice John G. Roberts said Congress can use its spending power to create incentives to carry out federal policies, but the pressure cannot be turned into compulsion. • The 1997 Supreme Court case Printz v. United States, in which Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that the federal government can’t compel the states to enact or administer a federal regulatory program. The decision struck down portions of the Brady Act that required state and local officials to conduct background checks on gun purchasers. |

San Francisco is a sanctuary city that has a vocal mayor, Gavin Newsome, who has many things to say about that ban. Of course, San Diego, being Red and being on the border is NOT a sanctuary city...
