It Was Only A Matter Of Time

The way to put an end to much of this immigration foolishness is for someone living in a sanctuary city/State to go to court over a specific policy that infringed on their rights under Federal Law. If they could prove personal harm that was Constitutionally protected, and get it to SCOTUS, we might make some progress. So far, most of the cases have been between Feds and States, and many have been dismissed. An actual individual party with a case would almost force SCOTUS to take up the issue, and make some kind of ruling one way or the other.

Is it a crime to pay a person to protest? 

Not if they peacefully protest.  But which party is responsible if laws are broken?  What are they being taught at these protest “teaching” sessions?  The payers do need to be exposed!

What if you can prove they are being paid to protest and trained/encouraged to break the law by impeding/blocking police vehicles, etc?  

They might be able to stretch it into some kind of conspiracy but they crime would not be the pay but the plan to commit (at least in Texas) a felony. Merely planning a crime is not in itself a crime.

It would have to be proven that 3 or more people got together and planned on committing a felony and at least one person in the conspiracy did an overt act to further the felony.

At least under Texas law, saying that I’ll give you $50 if you go stand on the corner with a sign saying whatever I want like the police are there gestapo,  is in itself not a crime that I know of.

You can expose the payers if you want. What’s the crime though?

You don’t there’s guilt there “if” they teach to break laws.  Heck, they got Trump on RICO charges.  Is there culpability here in this area?  🤷‍♂️
