Good for Judicial Watch and Shame on California

Many cities nationwide, including Los Angeles, have adopted "sanctuary" policies which prohibit local police from asking about the immigration status of people who are arrested. This is a gaping hole in our "enforcement" efforts, if there is such a thing, because those who are here illegally have no reason to stop coming or to leave so long as they know the police will do nothing to them for breaking the law. Judicial Watch recently sued the LAPD over this practice, and the case has survived a motion to dismiss and is being allowed to proceed to discovery. While the relative lack of hard statistics may be a reality (if no one is asked if they're here legally, how do you keep count?), I believe it will be an ugly black eye for the LAPD (and for other cities who do this and are exposed) for the results of sanctuary policies to come to the light. Frankly, and city who declares itself above the law in this way should receive not a dime of state or federal money as long as a sanctuary policy is the law of the city. Judicial Watch tells a little more about the case here, and it displays some court documents for any legal eagles out there. I am certainly cheering on and praying for Judicial Watch in this proceeding, and hopefully it will set a positive immigration enforcement precedent going forward.
