Hello America, welcome. It's Eric Erickson here across the nation.

Since I'm out tomorrow, I've been summoned to the vast right-wing conspiracy in a super secret meeting, and I was unable to take your calls yesterday.

I will take your calls today.

877-973-7-425. But before I take any phone calls, we have to get to the border war in Texas.

For all of the media complaining about Donald Trump provoking constitutional crises,

Joe Biden is provoking a pretty serious constitutional crisis in Texas

by failing to secure the border in Texas. I want to play for you what I find very notable,

and that is Joe Biden's view on sanctuary cities when he was running for president of the United States in 2007.

Joe Biden was in a debate.

He was on stage with the others Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, all the people running for president.

He was asked about sanctuary cities in 2007.

Listen to this.

Would you allow these cities to ignore the federal law regarding the reporting of illegal immigrants and in fact provide sanctuary to these immigrants?

The reason the cities ignore the federal law is the fact that there is no funding

at a federal level to provide for the kind of enforcement at a federal level you need.

Pick up the New York Times a day.

There's a city not far across the river from my state that imposed the similar sanctions.

And what they found out is, as a consequence of that, their city went in the dumps,

in the dumpster. Stores started closing. Everything started to happen. And they changed the policy.

Part of the problem is you have to have a federal government that can enforce laws. This administration

has been fundamentally derelict in not funding any of the requirements or needed even enforce the existing law.

Senator Biden, yes or no, would you allow the cities to ignore the federal law?
