Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Prepare for exploding Democrat heads all weekend long. – Smelling a golden opportunity handed to him by the Washington Post yesterday to keep an issue very favorable to him alive at the top of the news cycle this weekend, President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those three glorious words) continued to push a plan to place all these tens of thousands of illegal aliens invading our Southern border into Democrat-run sanctuary cities with this tweet late Friday evening:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump If the Radical Left Democrats all of a sudden don’t want the Illegal Migrants in their Sanctuary Cities (no more open arms), why should others be expected to take them into their communities? Go home and come into our Country legally and through a system of Merit!
Given the left’s obsession with the President’s Twitter account, this single message alone most likely ensures that this topic will be first up on every Sunday morning fake news program. Regardless of how viciously the liberal talking heads attack President Trump on the issue, this will in fact amount to about five hours of free, favorable air time for the President and cause him to rise in the polls as a result. President Trump knows this, I know this, you know this, but it seems as if the vapid, TDS-enraged Democrats and their media co-conspirators will never figure it all out. I’m cool with that.
It’s important to understand why the Democrats and the fake news media are so enraged by this plan. The President may or may not be serious about it – that remains up in the air – but that really doesn’t much matter in the grand scheme of things. From the perspective of both President Trump and the Democrat leadership, it’s the simple fact of having the public debate over this idea that really matters, for a couple of big reasons.
I discussed one reason in last night’s Evening Campaign Update: The Democrats hate being forced to engage in this public discussion for the simple fact that it exposes the ultimate end game of their “sanctuary city” sham. Democrat mayors in Democrat-run cities from coast to coast have spent the last several years refusing to cooperate with ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies in a very organized effort to protect criminal illegal aliens who they view as ripe prospects for illegal voting in the near term. In the longer term, the Democrats hope these illegals will ultimately receive some sort of blanket amnesty and become a big, new voting bloc for their party.
Democrats don’t care if these criminal aliens are murderers or rapists – they truly don’t care. All they see and care about is potential votes, whether legal or illegal, because the overriding goal of the Democrat Party since the elevation of the Clintons has been simple: The acquisition and maintenance of political power.
Their problem with this public debate is that the President’s proposal makes all kinds of sense to anyone who is able to reason logically. This of course excludes mind-numbed Democrat voters, but they only make up about a third of the adult population. What frightens the Democrats and media so much is that independent voters are by and large able to reason logically, so when they hear this proposal, most of them think, “Ok, makes sense to me.” They then marvel that any Democrat politician, like San Fran Nan, whose own home city has been protecting murderers and rapists for over a decade now, would oppose it.
Oh, my, Democrat’s can’t have that, now, can they?
All of which leads to the second reason why the Democrats are so enraged by this plan: Because it negates their own long-term plan for placement of millions of illegal aliens into Republican and/or battleground states.
Starting in the Clinton Administration, the Democrat plan has been to keep as many illegals as possible in border “red” states like Texas and Arizona, so that when their longed-for amnesty comes about, those “red” states will suddenly turn into “blue” states. During the Obama years, that plan was broadened to include putting thousands of illegals onto planes and buses and shipping them to other “red” or borderline states like Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Colorado and Wisconsin for the same political ends.
They have almost gotten to critical mass now at which a blanket amnesty would in fact render all of those states – with the possible exception of Texas – as permanent Democrat states, making it virtually impossible for the GOP to ever elect another president.
This has been the long-term plan of the Democrat Party for a quarter of a century now. They cannot possibly conduct an honest public debate on the merits, so their immediate response is what we have seen: Have national Dems like Pelosi and Schumer and Beto and Mayor Pete demonize the President for his supposed “cruelty” in using all of these “innocent” illegals as “political pawns”, while the Democrat mayors of those sanctuary cities issue pious statements claiming that they would welcome such an influx into their already bankrupt towns as they pray to whatever god they might worship that it never happens.
Apparently, when President Trump broached this concept at a recent White House meeting a few weeks ago, it was quickly scuttled by then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and her department’s lawyers. Nielsen simply lacked the intestinal fortitude to do what is necessary to stem this border invasion.
Kevin MacAleenan is now the acting Secretary of DHS. We may well find out very soon whether or not he has the stomach for the battle or not. This plan makes all kinds of good sense – which is why the Democrats and media are so outraged by it – and should be pursued by the President and his Administration in a very public and aggressive way.
Fill those sanctuary cities up with these invaders, Mr. Trump. Let the Democrats take full responsibility for their irrational sanctuary rhetoric. It will be a good lesson for all concerned.
That is all.

Wonder why President Trump didn’t just quietly start doing this, rather than making news with the idea.
“If these illegals are counted in the next census, blue states will gain seats....”
That’s their plan
Why would the democRATic Socialists (or whatever they are calling themselves this time around), be against something that they themselves advocate? Santuary for illegals.
And higher taxes, more crime and urban decay for US citizens. A fair tradeoff to the anti-America democRAT Socialists I'm sure.
If anything, this move in practice would liven up tent cities.
Start busing them now Mr. President!
( Do not bring them here caterwauling when their Donk insane policies directly affect them!)
Also start a camp on the street in front of the Pelosie mansion in San Francisco!
Trump has an obligation to uphold the constitution. Letting more illegals in is a violation of that oath no matter where they are placed and it continues endangering American lives and perpetuates the “emergency” he declared.
This is bluster and jingoism at its finest (just like last weeks “Close the border” false threat)and conservatives fall for it as much as liberals (another example: during the campaign Trump used the term Criminal Hillary hundreds of times and yet, she walks free amongst us to this day).
Stop falling for propaganda and focus on the real solutions.
There are 90,000 marines sitting on their asses at Camp Pendleton wanting to engage. Why aren’t they on the border using less-than-lethal forces to make sure no unauthorized person sets foot in the US.
Proving liberals to be hypocrites is not the mission. They do it every day. The mission is to solve the problem.
I am convinced that it wasn’t his idea. It was a fake news story that somehow the WaPo thought would benefit the left. Trump’s team was probably in the process of rolling eyes and denying it when Trump said, “wait, you say fake news, I smell opportunity!!”
He really needs to do it and fight every court challenge to it and really get them saying the exact things he’s been saying for 2 years!
Me, too.
the only problem is... the census is upon us.. putting them in those cities will give the Democrats more representatives in congress. Better to send them all to Puerto Rico where they are trapped and dont affect congress. And if you just have to send them to a state.... drop them all off for the liberals in Hawaii to take care of LOL
Same here - when I catch myself just typing "Trump" I try to go back and add "President" because it makes me feel good to acknowledge what we "have wrought" upon the Evil Left.
Oh, for God’s sake. This has nothing to do with The Civil war. Get over it already .

For long-time Rush listeners (such as me), you may remember something very, very similar.
Back in 1989, Martin Sheen was elected as honorary mayor of Malibu (the community was unincorporated at the time, so they didn’t have a real mayor). He did the usual virtue signaling and declared Malibu to a “nuclear-free zone, a sanctuary for aliens and the homeless and a protected environment for all life, wild and tame”.
Rush took him up on #3 of that list, the Homeless, and started organizing a bus caravan from Skid Row, as they called the homeless area in Downtown Los Angeles to Downtown Malibu. The locals, especially the businesses went into ABJECT PANIC, as we’re seeing repeated here, with the thought of the homeless taking over their lovely city.
Friggen HYSTERICAL. In the end, Sheen backed down and so Rush didn’t run the buses. Rush later said they had done some planning and their intent was to clean them up, bus them to Malibu, give them a nice meal there, and bus them back, at least for those who wanted to go back. They would have been treated with a lot more respect than the left treats Trump.
Here’s an article that references that ‘panic’. Note how the New York Times was so scared of Rush that they avoided mentioning his name. He had already been national for a year, yet you can see how the Fake News operated, even 30 years ago...and yes, spiking his name was intentional.

Let’s hope this obviates the need for it:

If the Dems decided to take a couple million new illegals into their sanctuary cities, we could never get them out—and might see a couple of states swung for it.
This is a great move, as long as the illegal invaders are RESTRICTED to the sanctuary locale that they are relocated to...not to squirt out to the outside.
In fact, start collecting the illegals in OH, FL, NC, VA, IA, PA, and all the swing states and start relocating THEM to sanctuary cities also.
#4 - “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
BINGO!
If you do not see the connection, I am not the one who needs get over it. Defying national law, either by arms or by provisional law or regulation is insurrection. Letting a group or political subdivision decide which laws they intend to follow is anarchy. The sole reason no enforcement of federal rule regarding the border issue and sanctuaries is simple, it does not have the will to begin what could easily spiral out to a full blown return to 1861. IMO, that is the obvious connection.
IMO, Marshals should long ago have been dispatched to arrest the insurrectionists in the state or city governments that authorized this nonsense. They need just select out a few of the most egregious, get them into court and set the example. If they lose out in court, given precedence is on their side, then the government can go its merry way. Every state and sub unit can decide what they will do and not do according to home rules. See that decision as an outcome? I do not.
