Thread: House to take up bill blocking money for 'sanctuary cities'

The ArchBishop in this case is doing exactly what I keep pointing out to conservatives is regulated by federal law. He is interceding--i.e. lobbying--on behalf of 'foreign principals' and that is forbidden by federal law, unless you are a registered lobbyist. Of course, the GOP remains completely oblivious of this requirement, and Democrats who cried long and loud about American Jews doing that on behalf of Israel, hope that no one notices.

We are supposed to put US constituents first, and FYI there are federal laws to that effect. DOn't expect anyone in Congress to wake up to that fact, apparently.o

I do not grasp why Americans whose nation was founded upon the principle of independence accept so much ignoring and breaking of American law by their government that leads only to the destruction of the principle!

There can be only two answers to that. The majority of Americans are purposely ignorant of what happens in their nation. It might be that the founders were of much more courage than Americans today. Neither answer should be acceptable behavior.
