RE-THINK IMMIGRATION
A Monday-through-Friday, non-partisan blog covering the most
contentious policy issue of our time: immigration.

A reader pointed us to a USA Today article published yesterday on state and federal lawmakers who want cities they deem ’sanctuary cities’ for illegal immigration to face tough penalties.

From the article:
At least three states are considering taking the path of Colorado, which adopted an anti-sanctuary law last year. It denies some funding to communities that prevent police and other municipal employees from cooperating with immigration authorities. Similar measures are pending in Michigan, New Jersey and Wisconsin.
What’s your take—should ’sanctuary cities’ face penalties or is each city allowed to write immigration policy for itself?
(Thanks to Paul for the tip.)

"Sanctuary cities" should definitely have their federal funding removed. It's "funny" (not in a good way) how the same pro-illegal alien organizations will howl that it's "unconstitutional" when a city like Hazleton PA "makes its own (anti-illegal)immigration law" then turn around and support sanctuary cities which are doing the same thing. Another sign that the pro-illegals don't really stand for any principle, except getting as many members of their "race" into the US as possible.
