President Trump is considering releasing illegals into Sanctuary Cities:

Trump considering releasing migrant detainees in sanctuary cities - BBC News

President Donald Trump has acknowledged planning to free immigration detainees in Democratic urban strongholds as a political retaliation ploy.

The Republican president tweeted that his antagonists should be "very happy" about the idea given their "open borders, open arms policy".

He said he was targeting so-called sanctuary cities, which have policies to aid undocumented immigrants.

But there was scepticism on the left and right about Mr Trump's idea.

Mr Trump tweeted on Friday: "Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only."

The president's declaration undercut his own White House, which had denied in a statement that the plan was still being considered.

Mr Trump's comments followed reports in US media that he had wanted the Department of Homeland Security to release detained migrants in sanctuary cities.


Dems are certainly hypocrites if they don't welcome Trump's plan with open arms - after all, Obama himself had ensured that various bunches of illegals were resettled into US cities on his orders.

Dems who try to undermine Federal law by declaring themselves sanctuaries will now have to put their money where their mouth is - or else their rhetoric on sanctuary is just a hollow false bluff.
 
I hope he does. I don't think it'll have the effect that you think it will.

What effect do you envision? That Californians won't vote for him in 2020?

Yeah...that will certainly devastate Trump, won't it?
 
I keep seeing conservatives claim liberals are freaking out over the idea.

Meanwhile, actual liberals everywhere are saying "yeah. we welcome people in our cities."

So now I ask you, OP. Do you want more illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities? Is that part of your goal? Sanctuary for illegal immigrants?

Nancy...a liberal from CA...is pissed at the idea.

So...who are these "actual liberals" you are talking about?

She's mad because Trump's motivation is purely to attempt to inflict harm on those he perceives as enemies. That's what always motivates you people.

Answer my question, and I'll answer yours.
 
Do you have an argument of your own or do I have to listen to that dip**** to find out what your opinion is

The point is that the Lefty Dems who've been pontificating on the need for Sanctuary Cities are now decrying any plans to send illegals to them.

They've been faking it - just pretending to want to give "sanctuary" but then balking when faced with this in real life, thanks to Trump's plan.

Weird how you didn't seem to even read Pelosi's words on the subject. Why didn't you?

"harm" - what harm?!?!?!

You Lefties have been telling me that illegals are the greatest thing since sliced bread! What harm are you speaking of?

Which harm are you alluding to? Can you tell me what this harm is? Can you please spell it out for me? What harm will happen if these illegals get sent to the Sanctuary Cities?!?!

Can you tell me how such a scenario would play out, to result in harm to Trump's "enemies"?

I don't want illegal in any city, but those hundreds of thousand that are coming in every month need to go somewhere. Why not send them to the places that welcome and protect them?

So..."actual liberals"???

Trump thinks its harm to the cities full of those filthy liberals. Because he thinks immigrants are bad. Putting bad immigrants in cities full of bad liberals.

He's stupid, and wrong. But it is what he believes.

Trump can't do this.

Obviously.

But why start a second thread on this subject when we already have a very active one with about 500 replies and counting?

Very odd.

Only a racist like Trump would look upon the acceptance of migrants as being punishment.

I'm trying to understand how transporting large numbers of illegal immigrants into some of the largest urban areas in the country and releasing them from federal custody improves border security.
 
Cool. Thanks.

Now Trump has permission.

I hope those guys don't expect money from the feds, though.

Permission to violate the law? No, I don't think he has that. Why? Do you hate the law?

Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!

Hmm... is that an admission that our border security is in need of improvement?
 
let me get this straight. Trump wants to use funds from a cash strapped agency to take people he doesn't want in the country in the first place to cities where they would more than likely end up anyways in order to own the libs. Do I have that right?

Oh?

What law would he be violating?
