the sanctuary cities pose a greater danger to american cities because they give sanctuary to all illegals. they keep aliens from being detained and deported and sanctuary cities in my opinion operate in violation of the federal government law prohibiting such. but because of politics, the administration is suing arizona for upholding the law and refuses to sue sanctuary cities for violating the law. we hear the rhetoric that illegals do jobs americans won't do now we have an actual situation where arizona is getting sued for doing a job the american government won't do, protecting the security of the country and enforcing the law. and that's just the way it is. the speaker pro tempore: ms. woolsey of california. mr. jones of north carolina. mrs. halvorson of illinois. ms. ros-lehtinen of florida. mrs. maloney of new york. mr. burton of indiana. ms. kaptur of ohio. mr. flake of arizona. mr. defazio of oregon. mrs. miller of michigan. mr. gingrey of georgia. under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the gentleman from texas, mr. brady is recognized for 60 inns -- minutes as t

about arizona but we're going writers need more education you know if they go after all these sanctuary cities should they really you know a new round all these people up and take them out of the country and then don't even tell them that no one else don't cross the border so you don't go after arizona because you don't like their immigrant there or what i see is more of a security and forcing federal law and then not go after those who are abjectly of violating federal law that's on the books it's part of the well. if you are looking i think going after arizona because this is a distraction perhaps you know a lot of people are really trying to say that this is about politics this is because they want to get the latino vote and this way maybe they won't realize immigration reform didn't happen this year you know if they just want to talk about politics let's talk about governor jan brewer a very unpopular and not conservative republican governor who's doing this to cover up a billion dollar tax increase in her state who has suddenly won over conservatives by pretending to be tough and not goin

now, at the same time, we have what's called sanctuary cities, cities where illegals are encouraged to go and they are in effect being protected. that is against the law. and so here you have the federal government, the justice department and the president, saying we're not going to go after the sanctuary cities who are protecting illegal aliens that are in this country and at the same time they're not going to enforce the law which says that we've got to protect the border against illegals coming in in the first place. it really is a real inconsistency. it bothers almost everybody who thinks about it to say we're not enforcing one law, and we're opposing another law. the government of the united states, the justice department is opposing the very law that they're suing arizona for in trying to protect that southern border. at the same time there is a law that deals with illegal aliens in sanctuary cities and the federal government will not go after them. and the appearance is the federal government under the president, president obecause marx and the justice department wants to protec

the state has a ban on sanctuary cities and it's illegal to hire undocumented workers for day labor. however, a judge ruled some portions of the law are unconstitutional, including plans to have police being required to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect could be illegal. outspoken sheriff joe arpaio says he will continue to arrest undocumented workers. >> if they arrest 1,000 tomorrow, which they won't do because of this ruling, but if we do, i've got room for 1,000, 2,000. i have no problem. >> arizona's governor jan brewer calls the ruling a bomb bump in the road. >>> a day of action demanding immigration reform is called. a second day of rallies is scheduled, this one outside the courthouse urging nancy pelosi to leave the effort at the nation's capitol. police arrested 19 protesters when they blocked the street. protesters who were with cited and released say they are taking action because lawmakers aren't. >> we all know people who are undocumented and so we have these basic human connections. it it's just a matter of friendship and the human heart and a concer

>> i think the states should work cooperatively with the federal government -- no sanctuary cities believe we have in california. that is something that's meg whitman has been pushing. we have the all right support of illegals in some cities in california. that's a good start -- don't help people break the law. basically, is a fine -- basically, is a primarily a federal responsibility. the people -- the fact we have people illegally in this country sitting in jails in this country sitting in jail is reprehensible. they should serve their time in federal prison and be deported. it should not even be a state responsibility, and yet, in california, hundreds of millions of dollars every year are spent and not reimbursed by the federal government for incarcerating people criminally in this country, not just as criminals for being here, but criminals on top of that. >> that is the crux of the federal lawsuit before by the justice department -- it's as federal government has the responsibility and authority over this type of issue and the constitution says where the federal government is dominant

i was disappointed to see that congressman moran voted against a sanctuary cities, cities that protect illegal immigrants. i think it is important that we not protect illegal immigrants while they are here. congressman moran voted to have bilingual ballots. i think that encourages people to come in. he also voted with nancy pelosi on the state child health insurance program which eliminated citizenship requirements for health care, so today, american taxpayers are paying for the health insurance of illegals. kansas had to pass a law to prevent that from happening in kansas. it is a very serious issue. the first thing we have to do is build the fence. fence. >> the first up is to enforce our law and the most important law is at the border. we cannot have the board as we have in this country -- the prime responsibility of the federal government is to defend our country and that includes border security. i am a strong supporter of what the governor and legislature and arizona are doing i find it o that congressman thrt lectures me you were on two occasions he talkedbout amnesty for childr

interesting the obama administration is suing arizona for enforcing federal law while ignoring many sanctuary cities that openly flaunt their resistance to federal law. >> the feds want to block the law before it takes effect next week. it's unclear if the judge will issue a ruling during today's hearing. reporting live from washington, d.c., allison burns, "ktvu channel 2 news." >>> time now, 6:17. new ktvu field poll that show most californians support the death penalty. 70% of voters say the death penalty is an appropriate punishment for six days veer and violent crimes. -- severe and violent crimes. 42% said life in prison without parole. 41% say the death penalty, executions in california have been on hold since 2006 because of legal challenges to the lethal injection procedure. . >>> this morning, law enforcement officers throughout northern california are on the lookout for two men who stole money from the california state fair last night. according to witnesses, the two men targeted the office of the fair's catering company as workers were wrapping up business for the night. the two men were

prerogative from the federal government why are they not suing the city of san francisco for being a sanctuary city she says she supports whatever california citizens want when it comes to same-sex marriage. >> people get uncomfortable when a single judge or a handful of judges, unelected, unaccountable, decide to dictate social policies from the bench. i don't think that is where it belongs. where these important social issues belong is in the hands of voters. >> she opposes proposition 19, november proposal to legalize and tax marijuana in california. she thinks it should be regulated as medicine. >> i think it is on the ballot because the state of california wants more revenue. this is all about taxing something else. >> she opposes abortion but wouldn't commit to turning over reversos wade. >> clearly people feel strongly about it and disagree about it is not the central issue in this campaign. the central issue is the issue on voters minds. what about their jobs. >> she apro east side california's attempts to solve global warming reducing green house gas emissions. >> even the scientists that

demonstrators with a want to make sure that san francisco stays a sanctuary city as expected, arizona has appealed a federal judge's decision to block the most controversial parts of the new law. backers of the arizona law say police can still demand proof of citizenship if they have reason to doubt somebody's status. the state wants the immigration law to go into effect now, even as that issue continues to move through the courts. >>> a scam going on in san francisco could easily spread around the bay area. a woman advertising an apartment on craigslist scammed several people out of thousands of dollars. michael and julie were all set to move in with their dog, max, into an apartment on california in san francisco's richmond neighborhood. they handed rachel smith deposit checks for $5600 and signed police. two days later, alarm bells went off when she was talking about an exciting move with a co-worker. >> are you moving? oh what block? what does the house look like? what's the number? what's the landlord's name? it's same place. >> san francisco police say smith doesn't own the buil

now with the bill and the -- that has been passed and the judge leaving in the portion about sanctuary cities, it will actually make it easier for law enforcement to enforce the statutes that the federal government has put forward meaning that they have to enforce the federal laws and that their supervisors can't tell them to do anything less. and so that was a big win for the people of arizona. you know, larry, there has been so much misinformation put out in regards to senate bill 1070 and the rhetoric that has been spread across the country. you know, we just wish that we could get really the truth out there. you know it is the federal government's responsibility to secure our borders. we passed senate bill 1070 as another tool in order to protect the citizens of arizona. we have over 500,000 illegal immigrants living in arizona. and we simply cannot sustain it. it costs us a tremendous amount of money of course in health care, in education, and then, on top of if the all, in incarceration. the federal government doesn't reimburse us on any of these things. they need to step up and do thei

the state now has a ban on sanctuary cities and it is illegal to hire undocumented workers for day labor. anyone who hires them could face sanctions. as far as the pornographies of t portions of the law that are blocked, joe arpaio says he'll continue to arrest undocumented workers. >> if they arrest 1,000 tomorrow, which they won't do because of this ruling, but if we do, i've got room for 1,000, 2,000. i have no problem. >> arizona governor jan brewer calls the judge's ruling a bump in the road. >>> now for a little historical perspective, in 1798 congress enacted the alien act, allowing a president to deport any immigrant considered dangerous to the peace and safety of the united states. that law was never called into use. between 1815 and 1860, 5 million people immigrated legally to the u.s. in 1862, the homestead act encouraged naturalizing by giving citizens title to 160 acres. and in 1940, the alien registration act called for immigrants to get registered and fingerprinted. in 1952, the immigration and naturalization act pulled multiple immigration laws together under one law. >>>

in other words, no sanctuary cities the way we have in california. that is something that make whitman has been pushing. we have to end the outright support of illegal activity by some of our cities in california. did not help people break the law. -- do not help people break the law. it is a primary federal responsibility. for years, i have said the fact that we have people illegally in this country sitting in our jails and california is reprehensible. they should be transferred to federal custody, serve out their time and federal prisons, and be deported. it should not even be a state responsibility. yet, in california, tens or hundreds of millions of dollars very year are spent a and un reimbursed by the federal government for incarcerating people. guest: congressman, that is the crux of the federal lawsuit put forth by the justice department that the federal government has the responsibility and the authority over this type of issue, and that the constitution says that where the federal government is dominant and where there exists already federal

guest: you cannot call yourself a sanctuary city and not enforce the law.t you can say is you will not have your resources used to help the federal government pursue people who are not violating any particular law other than your immigration status. so, when the immigration service's come out to do inspections, they can still do them. the city may not use law enforcement to pull them off community policing and other things to be supportive of that, because they are trying to keep crime from increasing. a city is not allowed to violate the law. but a city can say we will concentrate our resources to do the things we have to do to protect our citizens. if you want to give me money to do those things, perhaps i will do it, but if you ask me to do it on local tax paradigm to enforce federal law, no thanks. i think a lot of cities are tired of being asked to do the work but that a government to be asked to do, and i think that is why we have ever gone along over frustration there is not enough done. the president is changing that. more deportations we have seen.

would you sue someone who you claim is superseding your jurisdiction when you have all of these sanctuaries cities violating immigration law? that shows that not only hypocrisy by collective enforcement, which is a major issue. host: there was a piece in the "washington post" yesterday about immigration in the 2010 presidential race. as a veteran of california politics, you know that pete wilson is there a concern this could hurt the republicans? guest: first of all, the politics of it is played up so much. the trouble is, when we are talking about this issue, what are we going to leave for our grandchildren? everyone is trying to be too smart on this issue. it is good for politics and the country if we stand up for enroll all law. fairness is fairness. -- the rule of law. it is a basic concept that any one of our parents would have with our children. i think both parties should be faulted for the fact that they played politics with this issue. s toot find justification t avoid doing a common-sense thing. host: president bush put forth a plan that would allow a path to citizenship. did you support
