What if someone you hated offered to pay off your mortgage or put your kids through college? You'd be suspicious at first, of course. Why is an enemy giving you the gift of a lifetime? But in the end, if you were smart, you'd take it. It would be too good to pass up.
Something very much like that happened in Washington, D.C., recently. The Trump administration debated moving some of the thousands of migrants now massing through our southern border into various self-proclaimed sanctuary cities across the United States.
Talk about great news for blue America. The left tells us that all immigration is good. More immigration is better. There is no distinction between legal and illegal varieties of immigration. If you disagree with any of this, you're a white nationalist. That's what they've said almost every day for the last two years.
And now, completely out of the blue, comes the man they despise most in the world, Donald J. Trump, offering them what they want more than anything: more immigrants, immediately, delivered right to their door at federal expense. It must have been like Christmas morning.
But that's not how they responded. The left wasn't happy about Trump's offer. They were shocked and enraged. You know what this is, they said? It's dumping. The headline on Mother Jones read, "Donald Trump Wanted to Dump Asylum Seekers on Streets of Democratic Cities." In the view of The Daily Beast's Harry Siegel, "The White House wanted to dump refugees in sanctuary cities." He called that idea "nasty." At the same time, almost simultaneously, both CNN and MSNBC ran headlines accusing the White House of wanting to "dump" migrants into cities.
What's the message here? Immigrants are trash? If you wanted to defile someone's pristine city, you'd "dump" immigrants on it? Hmm. That sounds a little ... searching for the word here ... racist -- a lot racist, actually. But Nancy Pelosi agrees with it. She immediately issued a statement: "The extent of this administration's cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated. Using human beings -- including little children -- as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable."
But that doesn't really make sense. How can the presence of immigrants "perpetuate fear?" San Francisco is a sanctuary city. It subverted federal law in the hope more illegal immigrants would come. Now they may be coming, and San Francisco is upset.
Well, say the news anchors, Trump's plan is illegal. There's a process. Really? Did the people of Lewiston, Maine, or Hazleton, Pennsylvania -- and countless other places across the country -- take part in a process when massive groups of refugees were moved to their cities? But when you try to do that to the city where Pelosi lives, it's supposedly "illegal." This is getting confusing.
Let's make it easier. Here's a list of neighborhoods that could use some immediate refugee resettlement. These are affluent places. They are politically liberal. As a matter of policy and conviction, they love illegal immigrants; they just don't really have any yet. Let's change that.
First would be Beacon Hill in Boston. The neighborhood has a median income of over $120,000 a year. It's not very diverse, so it could be greatly strengthened by thousands of migrants. As John Kerry, who lives in Beacon Hill, warned in 2017: "Fear of the outsider, fear of someone who isn't you, fear of someone that doesn't look like you is an attack on America itself." OK. Let's send half of the next migrant caravan to Kerry's ZIP code. He'll be thrilled.
Next, we'll head to the Upper East Side of New York. Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg lives there. He loves poor immigrants. Unfortunately for him, virtually none actually live in his neighborhood. Let's change that.
Finally, we'll go to the Kalorama neighborhood here in Washington. Barack Obama lives there. As he once put it: "We are a nation of immigrants. It has always given America a big advantage over other nations." That may be true. Yet there are virtually no poor immigrants in Kalorama.
Sure seems like nobody hates diversity more than rich liberals -- the very people pushing it. Let's hope immigrants are watching all this. The left can say they love you, but if they don't want you in their neighborhood or at school with their children, they're lying.
Actually, Tucker, the upper eastside of Manhattan is one of the last bastions of Republicanism. That’s why the Mayor, when first elected, refused to clear the streets of the area during his first major snow storm. If you want them to feel pain, try the upper westside.
My wife used to live in the Upper East Side. Katty corner to Gracie mansion ASAMOF.
I’ve been to Kalorama a few times with the DC Chapter.
This would be an improvement to both neighborhoods.
Screw them.
<><> First, Beacon Hill, Boston, Kohn Kerry's nabe; has a median income of over $120,000 a year but not very diverse, so it would be greatly strengthened by thousands of migrants, maybe Congolese with possible Ebola infections. Kerry warned us deplorables in 2017: "Fear of the outsider, fear of someone who isn't you, fear of someone that doesn't look like you is an attack on America itself." Good advice, so send half of the next thisand-srong migrant caravan to Kerry's ZIP code. He'll be thrilled.
<><> Next, the Upper East Side of New York of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He loves poor immigrants.
Unfortunately for him, virtually none actually live in his neighborhood. Let's change that.
<><> Then to the elite Kalorama neighborhood of our sainted Eternal President Barack Obama.
He once admonished us deplorables: "We are a nation of immigrants. It has always given America a big advantage over other nations."
Yet the tolerant and compassionate Obama NEVER EVEN noticed there are virtually no poor immigrants in Kalorama. That should be be changed ASAP.
SECURE THE DAMN BORDER AND DEPORT THESE INVADERS>
Shitholes be shitholes (grin)
1. By doing this you will cede the right to control immigration to the cities and states. It clearly is a Federal responsibility. If you cede control to the States, there will never be a chance of getting it under control.
2. If you let them flock to sanctuary cities in “red” or “purple” states, they will be immediately registered to vote and will vote Democrat. Remember Trump won PA, OH, WI and MI by very narrow margins. An influx of illegals who will be permitted to vote and who will vote Democrat will be enough to flip those states.
While it may be emotionally satisfying to see the sanctuary deal with the problem they created, it is not good for the country to let this happen
It’s got pluses and minuses. The Sanctuaries were winning the day, and expanding to ever more cities, large and small. The plus of sending criminaliens to them turned the tide of the dialog. Non-sanctuaries are thinking twice about becoming one. Sanctuaries are realizing maybe it’s not such a good idea.
Yep. Let’s not forget LA. For some strange reason, Cher and other Hollywood Leftists objected to receiving the very illegal immigrants they say they wanted. Seattle, Chicago, Portland, hell, the entire Northeast, these are the perfect places to send the next wave of caravans from Africa and Central America.
The other day a Syrian refugee was arrested in Pittsburgh for plotting to blow-up a church.
The Leftard Mayor of Pittsburgh released an official statement saying that this incident would not deter the city from welcoming “undocumented immigrants and refugees”.
There are so many anti-American losers in the country. They despise Free America, Laws and the Constitution. Pathetic.
Wouldn’t have that problem if The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement was in place. The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport.
Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

I’ve got a few more locations. I posted them when President Trump first said this:
Marin County, CA
Napa County, CA
Sacramento, CA
Chicago, IL-right in front of City Hall
Springfield, IL-right in front of the Governors Mansion
Martha’s Vineyard.
K Street, DC.-right in front of the Chamber of Commerce office.
Albany, NY
San Francisco, CA
Sonoma County, CA(sorry, Mrs. L)
Potrlandia, OR
Seattle, WA.
500 a week each until they scream Uncle.
Then 500 more a week until they choke.

What about Hawaii? They would stay there.
Similar to the recent Planned Butcherhood case.
