” without a “real fight,”

Gee.

I wonder if Trump is up to meeting such challenges?

/s

;)

All it takes is one closet conservative with a Thumb Drive.

Sounds like a task for Rudy to handle ...

Deportation is free.

Implement mandatory E-verify for all employment and make the fines for non-compliance painful.

Illegals will self-deport.

Guess we see where 850K of New Yorker votes came from. The corruption is so bad in this country it will take years to identify most of it. I think Judicial Watch should get on this right now.

I’m from Upstate NY. Years ago, when citizens would talk of Upstatehood, local and state pols would roll their eyes and laugh. These days, local and state pols are bringing up the subject. And they ain’t laughing.

My advice to NYC pols: Keep digging.

[eyeamok]

This is a NO BRAINER,

There shall be NO FEDERAL FUNDING to Any City, County, or Municipality that does not Fully Cooperate with Federal Immigration Authorities.

[mewzilla]

And will someone get DHS to comment on this idea. Wonder how they feel about it..?

[BlueLancer]

Well, heck, if they scrub the list, even New York won’t be able to use it ... and wouldn’t that mean that all of those benefits that New York is giving to the illegals would go down the tubes as well?

[Sooth2222]

So how much Federal aid does NYC receive, and if President Obama’s Federal guidelines to receive Federal aid can include letting perverts use the little girls’ room, why can’t President Trump’s (gosh that sounds awfully nice, doesn’t it?) Federal guidelines include the disclosure of the identity of lawbreakers?

Conservatives are hard to come by in New York City government offices, but RUDI may have insiders. :)

[PGR88]

I encourage De Blasio to do this. Reveal your true illegal, political agenda for all to see

It will justify a very tough response

[And will someone get DHS to comment on this idea. Wonder how they feel about it..?]

On Jan 21st, DHS Sec David Clarke will be happy to comment on it...

8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens:

(a) Criminal penalties

(1)

(A) Any person who—

...

(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

...

(B) A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs— (i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;

If any city official or employee attempts to destroy or otherwise damage those records, he should be prosecuted under the above statute, for which they could potentially face 10 years of EACH alien they have so shielded.

[tired&retired]

Just treat NYC as a sanctuary city. Deny all federal funds to the city or residents of the city.

[headstamp 2]

Good, cut off federal money like all the other cities that don’t follow federal law.

[grumpygresh]

Commie ny mayor wants to be investigated for election and voter fraud. OK.

[Mr. K]

So... subpoena the information NOW.

Then dare him to delete it.

1663. Protection Of Government Property — Protection Of Public Records And Documents

The taking of a public record or document is prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 641. The destruction of such records may be reached under 18 U.S.C. § 1361. In both instances, however, proving a $100 loss, the prerequisite to a felony conviction, may be difficult. Thus, neither of these statutes adequately protects government records.

The necessary measure of protection for government documents and records is provided by 18 U.S.C. § 2071. Section 2071(a) contains a broad prohibition against destruction of government records or attempts to destroy such records. This section provides that whoever: willfully and unlawfully; conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates or destroys; or attempts to conceal, remove, mutilate, obliterate or destroy; or carries away with intent to conceal, remove, mutilate, obliterate or destroy; any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document or other thing deposited in any public office may be punished by imprisonment for three years, a $2, 000 fine, or both.

There are several important aspects to this offense. First, it is a specific intent crime. This means that the defendant must act intentionally with knowledge that he is violating the law. See United States v. Simpson, 460 F.2d 515, 518 (9th Cir. 1972). Moreover, one case has suggested that this specific intent requires that the defendant know that the documents involved are public records. See United States v. DeGroat, 30 F. 764, 765 (E.D.Mich. 1887).

The acts proscribed by this section are defined broadly. Essentially three types of conduct are prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 2071(a). These are: (1) concealment, removal, mutilation, obliteration or destruction of records; (2) any attempt to commit these proscribed acts; and (3) carrying away any record with the intent to conceal, remove, mutilate or destroy it. It should be noted that all of these acts involve either misappropriation of or damage to public records. This has led one court to conclude that the mere photocopying of these records does not violate 18 U.S.C. § 2071. See United States v. Rosner, 352 F. Supp. 915, 919-22 (S.D.N.Y. 1972).

Subsection (b) of 18 U.S.C. § 2071 contains a similar prohibition specifically directed at custodians of public records. Any custodian of a public record who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” While the range of acts proscribed by this subsection is somewhat narrower than subsection (a), it does provide the additional penalty of forfeiture of position with the United States.

Start with prosecuting administrators in “sanctuary cities” for obstruction of justice.

I think better to allow such cities to show the courage of their convictions, and if they are determined to defy federal law, they get to pay for the costs out of their own pockets.

Block the FBI, the INS or ICE? No federal funding for you.

Pay for your own welfare, roads, schools, etc.

Riots? Too bad, no Federal funds.

Flood? Too bad, buy your own pumps.

We won't need to prosecute the mayor, the citizens will take care of him and his minions.

With no federal investigation of what happened...
