Each US State is a sovereign nation. States joined together for mutual protection and to regulate certain things necessarily common among States in order to strengthen that union. The federal government is not and has never been an umbrella government over and above States, except in Constitutional authority.
One federal authority is immigration regulation and enforcement. No State or person has authority to change, obviate, or violate federal immigration laws.
"Sanctuary States and cities" therefore are violating the authority of the federal government, the will and right of the People’s sovereignty.
Federal law names them “illegal aliens.” “Undocumented immigrants” is an enemy indoctrination used to trick the People into believing they’re not criminals.
Illegal aliens are automatically criminals by entering the United States, guilty of either a misdemeanor or felony (wobbler law, goes either way, depending). Amnesty is similarly illegal, except by Presidential pardon.
No State has authority to diminish immigration laws. States who do, or allow their cities to do it, have declared war on America. That act is called treason. The maximum allowable penalty for treason is death.
Any officeholder who votes for it, harbors fugitive illegal aliens, or threatens any person or body (in any way) who tries to correct the wrong, is a criminal.
But each State has authority to make immigration laws more stringent for its State.
The Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates does not apply here. Any evil done by an officeholder is committed as a private citizen, rather than by the office. Therefore, any legislator (normally exempt from certain lesser crimes while in session) can and should be prosecuted for violating these immigration laws AND for violating their oath of office.
Being elected is not personal agenda carte blanche. Nobody has authority to violate an unalienable right of the People or federal Constitutional duty.
