Durbin, top Dem, says sanctuary cities too poor to help feds on immigration
The Washington Times ^ | June 21, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

Sen. Richard J. Durbin said Wednesday Chicago’s sanctuary city policy isn’t about protecting illegal immigrants, but rather is a matter of poverty — the city doesn’t have enough money to turn illegal immigrants over to federal authorities.

“Come on Uncle Sam, where’s the money?” Mr. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said in a hearing called to look at gangs’ prevalence among illegal immigrants.

Cut off all federal funding for cities that defy and disobey federal law. Let the sanctuary cities support themselves.

For once he may be right but then how do you think they become poor?

They are too poor to pick up the phone & tell ICE they have an illegal in jail? Did anybody tell Durbin he was crazy or did the press just”your are right, this must be correct” and then run to print it?

Wouldn’t it be cheaper for sanctuary city to turn the illegals over to the Feds than for the sanctuary city to keep them in their custody?

I’m sure there are more than enough volunteers willing to pitch in. Where’s that good old American “can do” spirit, Dick?

I thought the same thing, then realized that we are actually thinking LOGICALLY, a word that has been erased from the Liberal's dictionary.

Sanctuary cities are perfect. Just like a food plot or a salt lick. Hunters know where to go and get them illegals!

Hey Durbin, are you talking about Chicago? Chicago, the city run by Democrats for how many decades? Durbin is saying that Democrats don't know how to run a city, much less a country. DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT!

WHERE’S THE MONEY???

That is what downstate Illinoisans want to know. Show us the money, CHICAGO.

I thought illegal aliens were the key to prosperity. They should have lots of money.

Perhaps Durbin is on to something. Perhaps local law enforcement coffers should be reimbursed $100 for any and all illegal alien detained AND deported.

Plenty of money going to the likes of Evergreen State and its clones.

Start there.

For every illegal alien they catch and detain, turn over to the Feds, pay them $1000 finders fee....................

When I policed early in my life, I raised my hand swore to uphold and defend my city, state and nation. I also swore to enforce all laws - local, state and federal - and I was taught that it was my duty to do so.

From what I have read and heard for the last few years modern police don’t have the same duty.

The federal government already pays cities to report illegal immigrants. The sanctuary cities take the money and do nothing. What the Republicans want to do is if the cities are not going to report illegals, then the federal government shouldn’t pay for it.

It’s stupid for thinking the government should pay for nothing.
