I think the root of the problem here is that you're the only one who actually bought into the idea that this new ban on collaboration/cooperation between local law enforcement officials with the Federal government is a legitimate
fiscal issue rather than
political posturing from Sacramento.
California politicians in the
"Fuck the Federal immigration laws" camp have never been able to provide any evidence for these so called "costs" or "burdens" that haven't been reimbursed by the Feds aside from the vague buzzwords in their speech, because there isn't any. Nobody is stupid enough to work for free, and California's sheriff departments gets paid tens of millions every year by the Federal government to help upholding immigration laws.
For example, here's what my County think about the "costs savings" to their department thanks to the new bill, versus what the Democratic politicians in Sacramento think:
Orange County sheriff: California bill could cost department $26 million contract
As usual, each law enforcement department in California can name exactly the number that they will lose due to this bill, and Kevin de Leon offered nothing but buzzwords in the rebuttal. Which is actually very similar to your current debate with
@Toothless King: rich in fancy text, but unfortunately very poor in hard financial numbers to back it up.
Kevin de Leon can't name how much of California's public money was "squandered" when each local sheriff departments still have a multi-million dollars contract with ICE, or how much of "California's precious public dollars" his bill will "save" each fiscal year for each department now that their multi-million dollars contracts are voided. Because there simply isn't any.
If you can actually help
@Toothless King pin-point what those
imaginary unpaid budget costs incurred to his police department while working with the Federal government, and exactly how much are somehow passed on to California tax-payers each year instead of reimbursed by ICE, feel free to post it up, cause the politicians in Sacramento sure as hell can't offer anything when law enforcement all across the State are calling bullshit on his "cost savings" claims.
