It's not a city's responsibility to enforce immigration laws.
Every last one of them took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the U.S.. They can't pick and choose which Federal laws they won't uphold. Not practical to hold them all responsible? Fine, withhold Federal money from them for not complying. If state and local laws only apply then state and local money is all that's needed. Let their constituents at the voting booth choose to agree or disagree. See there, checks and balances. California likes to point out they are the world's 6th largest economy. They certainly don't need Federal money then.

Where in the constitution does it state cities must enforce immigration laws?

I find it telling that O'Reilly was only let go after the advertisers left.

Clearly Fox hasn't turned over a new leaf in terms of employee relations vis-a-vis sexual harrassment (which seems to be rampant in their organization), they just made a bottom-line $ decision.

Don't cry for O'Reilly - his $25M golden parachute and continuing book deals mean that he'll be just fine.

But let's be clear - O'Reilly is a serial offender, and he should have been let go years ago.

Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!

Does say a lot doesn't it!

I also don't think that is an isolated problem either and what does that say?

It says that in 2017 the 'mad men' culture is alive and well, and that, all things considered, $ still has the loudest voice.

But that's not a surprise, is it?

It's not a city's responsibility to enforce immigration laws.
Quid Pro Quo
STATE: We aren't going to hold 'em
FEDS: I'll give you money if you holdem for us
CITY: We know better than the US National Laws
FEDS: What do we do with the money we were giving you to help with unregistered aliens?
STATE/CITY: That's not fair!!!
FEDS: Life's not fair.

Splitting hairs but technically correct.
Money in this case is "resources" ... could be training, could be assets, could be funding.

Fair enough.

DC budgets x amount per year for protests. They have blown their budget just in the first 100 days. Should they be reimbursed or should they just "suck it up"?
