Sanctuary State Might be Created to Defend California Sanctuary Cities
[VIDEO] by Joe Scudder, 2/1/17
The legislature of California is considering turning
it into a sanctuary state that refuses to enforce immigration laws. In some ways, California is already
a sanctuary state. But these bills would strengthen that policy! CBS Los Angeles reports,
California
may prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration
authorities, creating a border-to-border sanctuary in the nation’s largest
state as legislative Democrats ramp up their efforts to battle President Donald
Trump’s migration policies.
The
legislation is scheduled for its first public hearing Tuesday as the Senate
rushes to enact measures that Democratic lawmakers say would protect immigrants
from the crackdown that the Republican president has promised.

'un-American' Add this to the list of other California ideas, like
secession and tax resistance.

If California will actually secede,
then what they do with immigrants is of no concern to the remaining states. But
if they stay, the point of this law is specifically aimed at building up the
Democratic voter base.
For evidence that this is the
motive, see Megan McArdle’s Bloomberg
column, “The Democrats’ Rise Is Far From Inevitable.”
Why is it not inevitable? Because
Trump might succeed in limiting immigration!
Whatever
Trump does on immigration is probably going to hurt Democrats. The more
people assimilate, the less likely they are to see their ethnic identity as the
most important determinant of their political commitments. And the smaller the
number of new immigrants coming over to refresh connections to the old
country, the faster that ethnic identity dissipates.
Let us
assume two things happen: Trump manages to eke out eight years in office, and
he actually takes strong steps to stem the tide of immigration. What would the
emerging Democratic majority look like then? Probably not so hot.
Just as
Obamacare created new facts on the ground that are making it hard for
Republicans to simply return to the old status quo, whatever Trump does on
immigration will not only make it harder for Democrats to build the envisioned
majority-minority coalition, but also make it harder for them to simply get
back to a place where they can wait for it to dawn.
McArdle’s point about immigrants
assimilating is important. She points out in her column that immigrants have
tended to identify as Americans, eventually, and thus no longer be people that
Democrats can rely upon as voters.
So the key is to get a lot of immigration at once,
and to keep the immigrants that we have no matter how they got here or what
their legal status is. It McArdle is right, then immigrants learning English
and celebrating the Fourth of July is not what the Democrat Party needs.
Rather, they need groups to stay isolated and culturally alien.
If McArdle can see this, then so can
Democrat strategists. It makes sense that any state they control is going to do
all they can to get and keep as many immigrants as possible to become a
sanctuary state. It also makes sense they will do all they can to prevent
assimilation, insisting on public schools offering teaching in the foreign
language of the immigrants for example. Even the crazy sight of pro-abortion
women glorifying the Islamic dress code for subjugating women begins to make
some kind of sense.
They need immigrants in America but
they are threatened by immigrants who truly come to identify as Americans.

The
California legislature is just crazy enough to make California a Sanctuary
State and give up $Billions in federal money. If California secedes, we just
have to wait until they fire on San Diego.
