For John, BLUF: As the AG says, the actions of California and other "sanctuary" entities creates open borders. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From Pajamas Media and Mr Roger L Simon, 7 March 2018.
The story is about Attorney General Jeff Sessions moving forward.♠ Mr Simon talks about the larger issues, but I liked this Attorney General Jeff Sessions quote in the article:
I understand that we have a wide variety of political opinions out there on immigration. But the law is in the books and its purpose is clear.The other thing touched on was a Fox News interview with Ms Shannon Bream, which included this comment by the AG on calls from the House of Representatives for a second Special Counsel:There is no nullification. There is no secession. Federal law is "the supreme law of the land." I would invite any doubters to Gettysburg, and to the graves of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln.
A refusal to apprehend and deport those, especially the criminal element, effectively rejects all immigration law and creates an open borders system. Open borders is a radical, irrational idea that cannot be accepted.
The United States of America is not "an idea;" it is a secular nation-state with a Constitution, laws, and borders, all of which are designed to protect our nation's interests. Surely, we should be able to agree on this much.
I have appointed a person outside of Washington, many years in the Department of Justice, to look at all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us and we're conducting that investigation.Sounds like General Sessions is moving along in a workman like manner. Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠ As we know, the President takes jibes at the Attorney General, because he is unhappy with him recusing himself from the Russiagate imbroglio. I think General Sessions was right to recuse himself from involvement in the Russiagate imbroglio.
