newswire: "sanctuary" penalties

Too bad that this blurb doesn't say anything about actual immigrants.
An appeal of the "sanctuary" laws would mean that police would have to
start arresting undocumented immigrants. For those of you who are for
this, consider the following: if police had to arrest the undocumented
on contact, then chances are they would choose to come into contact
police on only the rarest of occasions. Many--if not most--wouldn't
report crimes committed against them for fear of being deported. One
logical conclusion to this policy is a veritable "open season" on
migrants.

E.g.: Don't like the migrant down the street? Beat the shit out of
him. He won't say anything, and if he did, he'd be deported anyway.

Yikes.

police to enforce federal laws that make it a crime to be in this
country illegally. But she said this measure went a step too far.

"This bill . . . would penalize local law enforcement for not doing
what they cannot do anyway, which is handle a federal problem without
enough federal dollars to accomplish the task," she said...
