Cities and States v National Immigration Law

Hat tip to William Teach at Pirate's Cove. Oops: BBB Includes Provision Blocking Federal Funds From Sanctuary Jurisdictions

Usually the GOP goes all squishy, but, they slipped an interesting tidbit into the BBB and Democrats never noticed

I expect that they will start screaming, and some liberal judge will say that Congress cannot determine parameters around funding.
