Alabama state senator files bill criminalizing sanctuary city policies

An Alabama state senator has introduced legislation that would criminalize sanctuary city policies.

The bill, filed by Republican Sen. Arthur Orr, would make not complying with federal immigration officials a Class C felony. Orr said, however, he plans to rewrite the penalties from Class C felony to a Class B misdemeanor, which carries up to six months behind bars as opposed to up to 10 years.

Under the bill, it would be "the policy of this state to discharge illegal immigration by complying with all federal immigration laws and assisting and fully cooperating with federal immigration authorities in the enforcement of federal immigration laws.”

So local law enforcement refusing to enforce federal policy is only okay when it's a policy their team doesn't like? In that case, I'm sure they'll be fine with the feds who crack down on sheriffs and local police that refuse to enforce local gun policies. No possible way any of this can backfire, no sir.
