JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Several Jacksonville officials are calling on Mayor Donna Deegan to apologize after comments made in an interview with Times Radio.
Deegan is currently in London on business, but is also speaking out on the presidential race and former President Donald Trump’s proposed immigration policies.
Deegan agreed that there are problems with the immigration system, and a “tough border law” should be passed, and then had this to say:
“To put people in what would really amount to a concentration camp-type situation, to round them out of the country doesn’t seem to me to be a very American thing to do,” she said.
Jacksonville Sheriff TK Waters also came out against the mayor’s comments and an endorsement of Trump. Here is the statement he released:
“Mayor Deegan’s statement to The Times (London) regarding President Trump’s border and immigration policy are shocking and reckless. As the Sheriff of Jacksonville, it is disappointing to see our Mayor equate a commonsense immigration policy with one of the most horrific atrocities of the 20th century.

Libs love to trash America when on foreign soil.
the sheriff should arrest the filthy ho ...
“To put people in what would really amount to a concentration camp-type situation, to round them out of the country doesn’t seem to me to be a very American thing to do,” she said.
but.. I thought liberals loved FDR?
Our sheriff is no nonsense, competent guy.
No doubt the ‘mare’ leaves her home unsecured at all times because it wouldn’t be very American to deny folks shelter.
Sheriff is a black guy who had visited Israel some years back for visit w their lea.
“Who built the cages, Donna?”
Interesting observation. In fact, during one of the first local reports of the slimy mayor’s comment, they showed the “cages” that obama built and filled with undesirables. (They haven’t used that foot age again, by the way.)
That woman is a democrat.
Formerly an attractive local TV broadcaster she was elected for the purpose of taking down another large urban city. She is a hardened liberal.
Donna’s prior history was she was a “news reader” on the local TV news. She left to run her sponsored annual foot race for breast cancer. Parlayed that into an unsuccessful (thankfully) run for Congress and then the run for Jax Mayor, winning over a dysfunctional group. My sense is she is bidding her time to run for higher office.
It doesn’t have to be a concentration camp... they could spread them out so they’d be diluted in a huge desert camp. :-)
INVADING AMERICA wasn’t ‘VERY AMERICAN’ either
