Most of these places are merely telling their local law enforcement that unless the federales are present and taking names don't bother kicking ass. Not every infraction is a federal crime. If it were, then your boy George would have made his puppet congresses pass legislation to fund the increased activity that you are advocating. They didn't and the locals aren't footing the bill if the feds refuse to do so.
    They don't have the right or luxary to ignore the Constitution.

    Watsonville is 75% Hispanic. You also appeared to miss the most important part of the City Council's action: it was a "symbolic action" to declare the town a sanctuary. No force of law. Symbolic.
    Wrong. I just know how to read posts better than you:

    What you prob do not realize is that Watsonville has a majority immigrant population both legal and illegal. IOW they own/are the city council.
    both/they..
