If few Americans believe this, then few have read the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution.
As California charges forward in its efforts to become a sanctuary state, most Americans don’t believe states should have the right to ignore or go against federal laws, including those involving immigration.
A new Rasmussen poll finds that just 23 percent of Americans “think that, generally speaking, states and localities have the right to ignore federal laws that they don’t agree with.”
Most Americans (62%) disagree while 15 percent poll unsure.
Senate Bill 54, or the “California Values Act,” was approved by the California State Assembly Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, bringing the Golden State one step closer to becoming a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
The bill has to be approved by the California State Assembly Appropriations Committee before reaching the Assembly floor for a final vote. It has already been passed by the state Senate.
