Someone please tell Eric that harboring illegal people is a crime.

[Sirius Lee]

How cute. If Adams gets in the way or tries to block ICE’s efforts he’s going to jail.

[Strict9]

Biden better pardon Adams real quick

[ncalburt]

Enjoy Jail Eric .

Then “the law” means he goes to Rikers.

Yup—NY officials can have their lawyers debate whether federal or state laws rule while they sit in prison.

They want to “keep families together”?

Fine—let them keep cockroach families together in their cell.

The law...

8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens

Jail time for Mayor Adams

Note to Tom Harmon: Notify Trump when the mayors / governors/ citiy governments refuse to cooperate with federal authorities, and he should immediately cease and desist sending ANY federal funds to those localities. Support Federal Law or get your hands out of the federal coffers !!

[Starboard]

Then Trump won’t be able to help NYC with anything either. This can work both ways.

Maybe Eric should read the Constitution...

Article VI, paragraph 2:

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

[Starboard]

“Support Federal Law or get your hands out of the federal coffers !!”

***********

Right. Can’t be doling out one cent of federal money to law breakers.

[HombreSecreto]

Then “the law” means he goes to Rikers. Guantanamo.

[rlmorel]

I am fully on board with this, and this specifically includes my own blue state.

[AAABEST]

This phoney crap-bag just wants a pardon.

He never wanted the illegls gone. He wanted the big fed.gov alien support bucks from Bidet to enrich himself and his friends.

Illegals are a major cottage industry.

[RetiredTexasVet]

The Feds should preclude the sanctuary cities and states from receiving any federal assistance from the FBI, Secret Service, etc. until they sign an agreement to cooperate with all federal law enforcement agencies. Want to use the FBI labs, sorry if you haven’t signed an agreement. Want help on that forgery, sorry if you haven’t signed an agreement. Want federal money, sorry if you haven’t signed an agreement.

[Vaquero]

Just get out of the way sc**bag.

[Lockbox]

Time to ask my state to pass a law forbidding citizens from paying Federal Tax.

[econjack]

The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC alone costs taxpayers $6.1 million per month. We have American citizens who are homeless, but we can spend tax dollars on people who are here illegally? To me, this is treason.
