The Albuquerque TEA Party is a firm believer in the rule of law. Whether it be for individuals that consider themselves above the law or local governments that feel federal law does not apply to them, we are opposed to some people, groups, or government being above the law. Once we start down the road of picking and choosing which laws to follow and which ones to break, we will follow other nations that have spiraled into oblivion. We have immigration laws that define who is responsible for protecting our borders and removing those who have come into our country without following the process. The Sanctuary City and state designation is obstructing the federal officers assign to enforce those laws.
True, our immigration laws are flawed, but they are still our laws. And yes, Congress has not done its job by not addressing this issue, but that does not excuse New Mexico's elected officials from breaking their oath of office and our federal laws. We are asking the US District Attorney to enforce the federal laws and take action against those who violate them.
