Arizona GOP Rep. Martha McSally made clear Saturday that she's kidding about building a border wall with California but argued that dangerous policies in the neighboring state allowing “violent, criminal” illegal immigrants to go largely unchecked is a “very serious” concern. “The left has gone hysterical as usual, and it seem like they can’t take a joke. But the issue is very serious,” McSally told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” after mentioning the border wall at a White House conference on so-called “sanctuary city” policies earlier this week. Such policies, which allow state and local law-enforcement authorities to protect illegal immigrants from federal immigration law, have been in place for decades, with California leading the way. The lawsuit was filed in Sacramento and argues three state laws intentionally undermine federal immigration law -- including barring police from asking people about their immigration status or participating in federal immigration enforcement activities.
