You Suck, Justin Amash!
Kate’s Law and No Sanctuary for Criminals Act
should have been no-brainer votes. We the People sent Trump to Washington along with strong GOP majorities in
Congress to ensure the full faith and credit of our immigration laws across the
country.
In fact, US Senators Ted Cruz and Pat Toomey had submitted similar
legislation last year. I know, because one of my US Senators, Dianne Feinstein,
voted against them, then tried to rationalize her votes in a letter to me two
months ago.
To this day, it is shameful and disgraceful that my own US
Senators have done nothing to commiserate or commemorate the loss of their own
constituents Kate Steinle. Why must I still depend on US Senators from other
states to represent my interests—and the best interests of this country!
For Kate’s Law, 20 some Democrats crossed over to vote for it,
even in liberal loony California, including Zoe “Transgender” Lofgren and
But this one Republican voted against HR 3003 and HR 3004: Justin
Amash of Michigan.
I have listened to Republican activists, donors, and operatives,
and their consensus is unanimous
They hate Justin Amash.
I think of that mantra from the 2008 pervert-flick
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" starring Jason Segal and Kristen Bell
(who have all but disappeared from the Hollywood scene, just like Hollywood
itself). At the time, the advertising for the movie had a picture of Jason
Segal with a sign reading "You suck, Sarah Marshall."
So I have to add: "You suck, Justin Amash."
For a long time, I had no problems with this guy. I kind of like
the notion of Congressional representatives casting votes and then tweeting to
the public why they voted the way they did. Perhaps we should require this
action. It’s not as though they work that hard when voting on laws.
(FYI, No August Recess, Congress! Repeal Obamacare!)
Amash is a vocal libertarian, an outspoken member of the Freedom
Caucus. He is a clear-cut Christian conservative who is not afraid to scale
back the role of the state in its entirety in our lives.
But … his rationale for voting against these two common-sense,
necessary immigration reform bills (when reform means what it should, ensuring
the enforcement of our laws) does not make any sense. Why is he claiming that
the enforcement of our federal immigration laws in states and local governments
is unconstitutional?
He needs to go back to Article 1 Section 8, where he will find a
clear outline for the federal government's enumerated powers, which include
national security and established sovereignty. For a man who champions his
incessant defense of the United States Constitution, his argument against
doubling penalties for illegal aliens who have re-entered the United States is
remarkably unfounded, as is the determination to defend cities out of
compliance with our federal immigration laws:
I voted no today on two bills that
together violate the 1st, 4th, 5th, 10th, and 11th Amendments. I will always
defend our Constitution.

How does requiring cities to
abide by federal immigration laws violate the First Amendment? Huh? Fourth
Amendment? Immigration enforcement is not a violation of searches and seizures.
These rights belong to citizens, We the People of the United States, not to
everyone in the world especially those who break into this country.
As for the 10th Amendment ...
yes, I do believe that there are a plethora of rights and privileges which are
not enumerated in the United States Constitution. Those rights must be defended
by the states and retained by the individual citizens of this country.
Violation or disregard of our
nation's federal immigration laws is not one of those rights. The feds have
every right--and every necessity--to ensure the full and unimpeded enforcement
of our laws, the security of our borders, and the protection of our national
sovereignty.
I believe in defending our
Constitution, too, Justin. Unlike you, however, I outlined clearly why No
Sanctuary for Criminals Act and Kate's Law are not in conflict but rather in
concert with the United States Constitution.
Your decision to vote against
those two bills was not based on Constitution principles.
It was based on NeverTrump
acrimony. nothing more.
Keep in mind, everyone, that
this man was one of the first to call for Trump's impeachment, when there was
no justifiable charge against the President.
The Justin Amash strain of
ultra-libertarianism is turning into self-absorbed narcissism. People want to
look like champions of liberty, when in reality they want to champion their
celebrity profile. This kind of arrogance would reduce to the state to
absolutely nothing.
Today is Independence Day and
whether libertarians like it or not, governments are instituted among men to
protect our rights. What are some of those rights? Life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. Some libertarians are so radical, that they believe
liberty is more important than life.
Life is the necessary condition
for liberty to exist!
How can anyone enjoy liberty if
the federal government refuses to secure our borders, or demands that
individual cities and states enforce our laws?
Justin, I respect your take on
stopping the encroachment of the state into our daily lives. I also resent the
fact that you think our President is undermining our government and our
Constitution by ensuring that all American citizens live and move and have their
being in this great country without fear from foreign invaders.
Keep this kind of crap up,
Justin, and you won't have a job next year, and please don't play martyr be
claiming that you lost your seat because you were defending the Constitution.
Your votes against the security of our borders and full respect for the United
States Constitution were clearly unconstitutional.

No Sanctuary for Criminals Act HR 3003 PASSES! Who Voted How?!
Kate's law has passed the House.
As predicted, Republicans voted for it, and Democrats opposed it.
But ... there were Democrats who voted for the bill!
And there were Republicans who voted against it!
Who were the Republicans who voted NO?!
Would someone like to tell me how overriding abusive, arrogant sanctuary state and city laws violate the constitution?
They don't. Our immigration laws fall within the bounds of the federal government: Article 1, Section 8. The Supremacy clause of the United States Constitution clearly outlines that any laws which try to oppose or overturn federal laws are null and void.
Point taken: the United States government has every right to enforce immigration laws and permit ICE detainers to stand.
Amash is a wash. He needs to go.
Where there any other way Republicans who voted against this bill?
Peter King voted no? I find this hard to understand. He has been one of the most vocal opponents of national security threats.
New York is a more liberal enclave, but still the New York City police and lawmakers in general are cracking down on illegal immigration. The Sheriff for liberal Suffolk County rolled back the sanctuary city policy there.
Anyone else?

WOW!
Three of the Republicans are from Florida. They have been unreliable on immigration, especially Mario Diaz-Balart, who thought he could get other Tea Party people in line with his amnesty views.
Justin Amash has turned into a real disappointment.
Why did he vote against this common-sense federal enforcement bill?
I voted no today on two bills that together violate the 1st, 4th, 5th, 10th, and 11th Amendments. I will always defend our Constitution.— Justin Amash (@justinamash) June 29, 2017

David Reichert is another amnesty squish, and he wants to make nice with the DREAMers.
BLAH!
Amash is another disappoint, too.
