Regarding sanctuary cities, which of the two alternatives do you think is the most desirable and why?

Asked by josie (30934points) June 29th, 2017

There is a difference of legal opinion as to whether or not cities are obligated to use their resources to enforce Federal Law.

Personally, I don’t see why local people should pay their cops to be Feds, when they are already paying the Feds anyway.

But the alternative is to have the Federal Government decide to enforce their laws on their own, which means the possibility of Federal marshals or even the NG wandering around the city sitting in police stations and courtrooms. Maybe even doing routine traffic stops.

That would be bad.

Which would you prefer? No local enforcement, and thus no immigration control which seems wrong to me, or intrusive Fed Enforcement which would suck.
