Oh, the heady, carefree days of college

California can't decide its own immigration policy

That's not entirely true. For example Safe Haven cities.

One important issue that rarely gets discussed is how representative various pc crusader organizations are for their respective minority/special interest group. I have no idea how many members you need to have to qualify as an "official" college club. If the 64 organizations have five members each on average at a 20,000 student college then, well, it's a Shakespeare play. It seems media attention is often focused on organized pc craziness...10,000 people in the streets with no organization behind them? Ignored.

What's stupid is that you have somebody living 10+ years illegally, in some weird limbo. You can go full right wing and deport him, or go liberal and give a path to residence. Just do *something*.

I agree with you, but the Republican Party of the US does not.  By doing nothing, they contributed to the sense of crisis, and hoped that the public would blame the Democrats for the unwillingness of Congress to fulfill its sworn duties, rather than the Republicans who actually were willing to fuck over the country.  And it worked.  part of the reason so many morons voted for trump was because they saw an entirely fictional "immigration crisis' that could only be resolved by a fuhrer with the willpower to do the unpalatable.

Hell, you can see here how willfully ignorant the Trump voters were.

That's the nature of news, though.

Yup. But people like hearing about the terrible/ evil/ stupid/ ridiculous/ coddled/ foolish PC students so that's what gets reported and shared. Kids these days.

Because you cannot get people upset about how our society is being destroyed and how terrible kids today are if you mention how few people this actually involves.

I guess so but much in the same way as legalizing weed (or even just medical marijuana), they are in danger of feds overruling them.

Yeah, do the liberals who want Safe Havens and the like really want to take John C. Calhoun's position on the issue of federal vs state powers?

Everybody likes John C. Calhoun's position when DC is on the other side of an issue.

Turn illegals into Helots. PROBLEM SOLVED

I think sanctuary cities were setup by local ordinances aka decision on local laws/local law enforcement so not really about states' rights.
