Here's the letter signed by treasurers from 16 "sanctuary" states -- including @DebGoldbergMA -- claiming the enforcement of federal law will wreck their illegal immigration-based economies. #mapoli

Essentially, Massachusetts and other blue states are demanding that feds exempt them from national laws enacted to protect access to labor/housing for American citizens.

These states argue that enforcement of federal laws will ruin their economies.

Massachusetts and other states should have thought of that before they opened the illegal immigration floodgates to counteract the number of American taxpayers fleeing their states.

Actual line in the letter:

"Our responsibilities require us to safeguard state fiscal health, manage public funds prudently,
and ensure the economic stability our budgets depend upon. The enforcement operations
currently underway across multiple states threaten to produce economic harm that directly
undermine these obligations."

These states went rogue and created economies completely dependent upon illegal immigration at the expense of the American citizen.

There's simply no other way to spin it. #mapoli

@DebGoldbergMA If I'm running the campaigns of any of the three GOP candidates for Massachusetts governor, I blast copies of this letter out to every single (legally) registered voter in the commonwealth.

This is the platform of @massdems, and it's absolutely insane.

If you're wondering why this Feb. 3 letter wasn't bigger "news" in Massachusetts, it's because it was barely reported. It only attracted a small brief by @statehousenews, and was then reposted by a fraction of the #mapoli press -- and not before @statehousenews gave the messaging a good massage.
