BREAKING NEWS: Trump announces illegal immigrants WILL be bussed to sanctuary cities and states in move designed to outrage Democrats
President Trump called on Congress to return to Washington D.C. to 'fix the immigration laws' as he struggles to full fill his key campaign promise
'Congress should come back to D.C. now and FIX THE IMMIGRATION LAWS!,' he tweeted on Monday morning
Trump made building a border wall and stemming the tide of illegal immigrants a key promise of his 2016 campaign
The administration has moved to shift the blame to Democrats

EXCELLENT article by Sharyl Attkisson - she makes the case for what Trump is reported to be doing (sending illegals to sanctuary cities):
Sending immigrants to sanctuary cities has consequences — and that’s a good thing
EXCERPTED:
Pro-illegal immigration:
Illegal immigrants are overwhelmingly good people fleeing bad circumstances in poverty-stricken, gang-ridden or war-torn countries. Illegal immigrants commit less crime per person than do U.S. citizens. Illegal immigrants pay taxes and are a net benefit to the economy. Illegal immigrants are needed for the U.S. workforce, and to do jobs that Americans are unwilling to do. They do not pose health risks. Illegal immigration is not the cause of our drug problems and we should not worry about human trafficking.
Anti-illegal immigration:
Some illegal immigrants are terrible people. Illegal immigrants commit more crime per person than do U.S. citizens, and each crime is a net gain over what would be the case if they weren’t here. Illegal immigrants are a net drain on the economy and cost money. U.S. labor needs can be fulfilled by legal immigrants. Illegal immigrant are exploited and paid substandard wages, often under the table, hurting the market for American workers. They bring illnesses and contagious diseases. Illegal immigration exacerbates our drug problems and has created a market for human trafficking.
Regardless of which view you hold, or even if your views are mixed on this issue, it seems to me that all sides should be able to get behind the president’s threat — or promise. The beauty of it is its simplicity. It doesn’t require litigating who’s correct. It merely accepts the stated view of each side. President Trump is telling illegal immigration supporters: I hear you and am giving you the chance to practice your advocacy. You will receive all the benefits you foresee from illegal immigrants. At the same time, he’s telling illegal immigration opponents: I hear you and will not force you to bear what you see as costs to your communities.
There are consequences to whichever side is wrong, and that’s not a bad thing, either. Those communities that shun illegal immigrants will not receive the benefits, if it turns out they exist. On the other hand, those who welcome illegal immigrants will have to bear the costs or other negative consequences, if it turns out there are any after all.
If illegal immigrants were welcomingly hosted by sanctuary cities and states, there’s an added benefit to all: We would be conducting a valuable social experiment. Within a year, there’s a pretty good chance we would be able to see which side is closer to being correct. The communities that take in masses of illegal immigrants will either be measurably safer and more prosperous, less safe and less prosperous, or some mix thereof.
Therefore, it seems to me there is only one logical response to the president’s threat — or promise. For non-sanctuary cities and states, it would be: “Thank you, President Trump, for not saddling us with the costs of this crisis.” For sanctuary cities and states, it would be: “Welcome to all illegal immigrants. And thank you, President Trump, for rewarding us with all the benefits they bring.”
[No, focus on states that are already forever lost — CA, MA, NYC.]
Pretty much.
yes
I would like to say the President has been seeking Counsel of the Best Kind . . . .the Lord God Almighty!
Bused.
But will they stay in tose cities?
Those cities, not tose! :)
Yes because they can get Welfare. The image will be of city officials trying to block the buses from getting into the sanctuary cities. Oh the irony, it burns.
they also want higher taxes... I say.. OK ! tax liberals MORE ! then everyone wins!
No bias there
WOW, what a great leader.
That is awesome.
that's what I'm thinking
In consideration of the Electoral College, bus them to California and New York State. The cities chosen would be the ones that reliably vote DemocRAT.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will they not just then have more electoral D votes?
Everybody talking about sanctuary cities.......
Wanna really raise some hell?
Send them to Hawaii, the most entrenched liberal nest in the country.
They won’t be catching any buses out of town.....
Aloha haole!
I am for whatever stops this immigration nightmare...go, Mr. President. My only fear is for those conservatives in blue states. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and I have always wished we could be our own state, we are so conservative. But, go Mr. President. Do what you must, and God keep the innocent safe.
