Tea Party Activists Challenge Philly Mayor Over Arrest Records

hiladelphia Mayor Michael Nutter's opposition to renewing a contract allowing federal immigration authorities full access to city arrest records is infuriating local Tea Party activists and their allies who say the potential move could jeopardize the public safety of residents and visitors to the city.

Supporters of the contract held a news conference Thursday in Philly to express their safety concerns after they said the mayor's office ignored their requests for a meeting but dispatched city officials to a meeting last month organized by a coalition of pro-immigrant groups where immigrants voiced their mistrust of the police.

"Mayor Nutter's decision to conceal illegal alien criminals from federal immigration authorities will result in the deaths of innocent Americans," Peter Gadiel, the president of 9/11 Families for a Secure America, said in a press release. "We who have been the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens have paid the price for such policies implemented by other politicians who are more interested in the votes of illegals and their supporters than in the safety of American citizens."

Nutter has said he opposes the agreement because he believes it discourages illegal immigrants from reporting crimes out of fear that they will be deported.

"Nutter has said he opposes the agreement because he believes it discourages illegal immigrants from reporting crimes out of fear that they will be deported."

We need to use that approach.

We will not report crimes if we_______ fill in the blank!

A. Have to pay taxes.

B. Cant carry.

C create your own!

Nutter is just following the Philly/Lib playbook-sign up as many Dem voters as possible and then vote early and often. Are you a Northern Liberties resident?

Why are the Left’s excuses always the same:

1) Will not come forward in criminal cases and

2) Family reunification

Reunite with the gangbangers in your family in Tijuana.

Ariz Gov. Jan Brewer has activated a task force that is matching active warrants against every applicant and recipient of state aid, of any kind. (NOTE: In LA alone warrants for murder indicate 82% go to illegals).

One Arizona town owed the county $1.2 million dollars for educating students who did NOT live in Arizona. The illegals had filed falsified documents using fake addresses. They actually lived in MEXICO, and were coming across the border every day to get free education, school breakfasts and lunches, school supplies, etc, etc, etc..........all financed by US taxpayers.

============================================

REFERENCE---HERITAGE FOUNDATION Center for Immigration Studies: 53% of all immigrant households (legal and illegal) with children use welfare services. Low-skilled immigrant households (about 60% are legal and 40% are illegal) pay $10,573 in all taxes per year. However, these same households receive, on average, $30,160 in government benefits each year. This means that each low-skilled immigrant household costs American taxpayers nearly $20,000 each year!

Each American citizen pays approximately $330 each year to provide less-educated immigrant households with government services. Due to America’s out-of-control immigration, immigrants who have arrived since 1990 and their U.S.-born children account for 75% of the growth in the population lacking insurance in the United States. To a very significant extent, our health insurance crisis is being driven by immigration polices.
