“In California, Democrat Congressman Jim Costa said that “California cannot and should not have to shoulder this burden alone,” according to Bakersfield Now. He called upon the federal government to fully fund the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program to help reimburse the costs of detaining illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.”
Uh, I don’t think so. California cities want to declare themselves to be “sanctuary cities.” Let the elites in San Francisco support the cost of housing illegals - they want them so badly. (Most likely for the cheap labor) Yet, they want the nation to fund the cost incurred as a result of the crimes committed by illegals. Sorry, California - you should reap what you sow. We don’t want them in our states and we shouldn’t have to pay for them when they become a burden in yours.
I guarantee you, whatever state/city you live in — if your police arrests someone for being in the country illegally, ICE will turn them loose.
That policy is exactly the same as those of “sanctuary cities.” Your city just isn’t ADVERTISING itself as such.
Every city in America is a sanctuary city, because IT’S THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO POLICE THE BORDER. IT’S THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS. And they’ve utterly abrogated that responsibility. And they won’t let cities and states do it.
This is not on California; this is on YOUR House of Representatives. YOUR Senate. YOUR Federal Immigration Bureaucracy: EPIC FAIL.
If you say your city/state has a different policy — that you’re regularly turning aliens over to ICE and they’re subsequently deported — I’m calling you a liar.
