Speaking of weed, the major argument here is that the federal government should treat the illegal immigration issue much like the illegal marijuana issue.


Well, I guess we could do that, if marijuana took jobs from LEGAL citizens, not to mention benefits.
You're comparing apples and potatoes.

Allowing states to decide whether or not to allow illegal immigrants into their state, or harboring them, is illegal as per the constitution, not because of an amendment or a regular law.
Anyone who is FOR allowing people to live in the US illegally (getting benefits but not paying taxes), is pretty anti American as far as I can see.

Various presidents ofc, can choose to ACT or not act, on the issue of illegal immigrants, but when a president DOES decide to enforce the Constitution on this issue, well, then that's the end of the discussion.

Illegal Marijuana took jobs, it had to be made legal so legal citizens could sell it and pay taxes. ^^

No it didn't. And you should be embarrassed for stating that.

yes it did. illegal marijuana status forces jobs south of the border. legal pot, due to a combination of shipping concerns and higher quality assurance, shuts down cartel driven operations south AND north of the border.

thats just in production, legal pot has all sorts of tertiary job bonuses that illegal pot doesnt. QC labs, paraphernalia production, etc.

Were not talking about marijuana production. I'm not suggesting that pot should BE illegal. And, I'm not the one comparing it, incorrectly to illegal immigration.
Technically, marijuana is still illegal, federally.

But this is an illegal immigration topic.

There is no federal law that requires states and local governments to spend money devoting resources to assisting federal agents who they have already paid for through federal taxes. How many times do I have to say this?

To see how all-in you stupid fucks goarguing against classic conservative talking points is just embarrassing. Trump ate your brains.


Itl illegal to aid and abet criminals

illegal immigration takes jobs from legal citizens.

its not the apples comparison the thread started with, but it is directly an apples to apples comparison in many senses. not to mention we're talking about the supremacy clause's validity to override state law. another apples aspect.

feel free to put your fingers in your ears if you need to tho.

Mostly all true.... BUT, and for the 2nd time today...

Illegal marijuana is just a regular law. Illegal aliens is Constitutional law (section 9, paragraph 1). BIG difference, in regards to sanctuary cites.

you're aware of course that the supremacy clause is in the constitution, and that it is in effect any time interstate commerce is effected. right?

Yeah, and I'm aware that you can grow weed in every state in the Union, weather wise. I'm glad to see you understand whay comparing anything about marijuana to the illegal alien issue, is inane.
