Connecticut Sanctuary City Mayor: We Will Keep Protecting Illegal Aliens
Breitbart ^ | 07/11/2015 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 07/11/2015 12:41:25 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Illegal alien and Kathryn Steinle’s alleged murderer, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, would have been treated in Connecticut exactly as San Francisco treated him. Apparently, this is fine with sanctuary city New Haven Mayor Toni Harp.

According to the Journal Inquirer (JI), on Friday, Harp said that her city will continue to protect illegal aliens despite the horrific murder of Steinle in San Francisco.

Without a history of a violent felony or a court order for his detention, Lopez-Sanchez would not have been detained by state or municipal authorities in Connecticut, state Correction Commissioner Scott Semple said, reported the JI .

Laws mean nothing.

Why do we even vote?

All lives matter but illegals lives matter more than others.
Liberal, arrogant, stubborn lunatics with innocent blood on their hands.

From the article...

“New Haven will continue to welcome new residents from other countries and embrace their positive contributions in our community, all in the spirit of ‘e pluribus unum,’” Harp said. “The city’s ongoing ‘sanctuary’ status reflects a widespread acceptance of diversity in New Haven and respects the distinct jurisdictions administered by the federal and local governments.”

For anybody who has not been to New Haven, CT, it is a cesspool. Run down housing, dangerous streets at night. Not many people contribute to the community as take from it. Median household income is under $30,000, which is not much for around here. Many, many people on welfare and leeching from the taxpayers that remain.

So what this incompetent, affirmative action mayor is saying is that women, particularly of the Caucasian species, will not be protected by the city. Facts about illegals murdering and raping be damned!

But not to worry women of the CONSTITUTION STATE (how ironic), after you’re shot the police and medics will be there as soon as they are able.

Try not to spill too much blood on the sidewalk.

Lets send every illegal alien to a sanctuary city of their choice with the stipulation that they cannot live anywhere else, period, in the USA and they will receive zero Federal and state funds- only from the city govt. How long will that last before these urban leftists sing a different tune?

I’m not surprised. I left there two decades ago, and even then it was starting to go downhill. Even then the only thing holding up the city was Yale and Yale-NH Hospital, really. The rest is bars, pizza shops, and banks. And concerts on the Green.

I do miss Pepe’s pizza now and then.

We still go to the original Pepe’s from time to time but they have expanded to other locations such as Fairfield, E. Hartford and Danbury. They even have an outlet at the Mohegan Sun casino.

The left’s deranged death wish. It’s a mental disorder.

SANCTUARY CITY INSANITY

In their never-ending pursuit of the perfect “progressive” perpetual motion reelection machine, the delusional Democrats (but I repeat myself) have treated us to some 200 so-called “Sanctuary Cities”.

These are almost exclusively Democrat dominated enclaves where the so-called “authorities” have taken the position that illegal aliens may come there with no risk that their presence will be reported to the federales. Under existing federal law, cities are SUPPOSED to REPORT them and said federales are SUPPOSED to then collect them and DEPORT them whence they came. Note the use of the word “supposed”. Due to orders from the White House for several administrations (yes, Juanita, that includes the Bush operation!), the federales seldom, if ever, send these folks back home.

In their classic facts-be-damned, truth down the memory hole push to perfect society, the Dems have created the idiotic mantra that, because illegals feel more at home and comfortable in their sanctuary cities, they are more likely to come forth with INFORMATION about crimes and those fellow ILLEGALS among them who commit those crimes. As any rational citizen can see, here’s the problem with – and the LIE about – that: IF THOSE ILLEGALS WHO COMMIT THOSE CRIMES WERE NOT HERE, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR WITNESSES TO PROVIDE THAT “INFORMATION”! (And that beautiful young woman shot – 3 times – by that ILLEGAL in SanFrancisco would still be alive!)

The politicians’ reasons for their failure to follow the federal law vary depending on their party.

G.W. Bush (a Republican) hails from Texas and grew up in a home where, as a baby and young boy, he and Jeb were cared for by a beloved Hispanic nanny. As the boys grew, I suspect they had numerous Hispanic friends. And, because Texas has a large Hispanic population, as adults, their contacts with folks from south of the border were almost certainly numerous and frequent. One would hope that their associates were here legally, but I digress. Those life-long associations with Hispanics produced warm, fuzzy feelings in G and Jeb – who is married to the daughter of a migrant worker and live in a home where SPANISH is their preferred means of communication – and those feelings persist until today.

Democrats Clinton and Obama have somewhat different reasons for their failure to follow the legislative mandates of Congress in this area. This brings us back to that perfect “progressive” perpetual motion machine at the top of this rant: Because the majority of those illegals are collecting taxpayer funded welfare benefits and working off the books and, therefore, NOT paying taxes, they reciprocate the warm and fuzzy feelings – not to the Bush boys or the GOP – but to the DEMOCRATS (and the RINOs) who keep the axles on their gravy train well greased. While it’s hard to pin down the numbers, the estimate is that, of those Hispanics who DO vote, 65% or more pull the “D” lever lest the nasty old Pubbies derail the train.

One additional element is required and the federal courts – inhabited by numerous Democrat appointed judges – are in the process of happily providing it with their increasing rulings that STATES CAN NO LONGER DEMAND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP OF THOSE WHO SHOW UP ON ELECTION DAY! (Sounds like it’s time for a 10th Amendment gut check.)

You see, the donkey party and their “progressive” lapdog handmaidens in the media, are, in fact, on course to construct that perfect perpetual motion machine and, if the Pubbies don’t get out in front of this thing – and soon – they will never win another national election.

If you read in this that I’m a bigot or racist or both, you are wrong. I just understand that a nation without borders is NOT a nation. My and my wife’s ancestors were permitted entry to this country ONLY after standing in a long line and jumping through all the hoops then required for citizenship.

It’s long past time to end this madness before more of us are killed by people who shouldn’t even be here. We have more than enough indigenous criminals without importing more!

The insanity of what the past several DC mobs of “Go along to get along” hacks have allowed becomes clear when one asks a simplequestion: If THEY come HERE because they haven’t the resolve and determination to clean things up THERE, how long will it take before they turn HERE into THERE (and by “there”, we mean a THIRD WORLD HELL HOLE) ?? Thanks to the PC/TOLERANCE/DIVERSITY induced silence of the dwindling number of decent, honorable citizens and the ongoing leftist INDOCTRINATION of each generation in the government schools, that is precisely the problem now endemic within the INDIGENOUS population HERE! We sure as hell don’t need to import them!

That’s actually not a bad idea.

And it’s more doable than some of the other proposals.

Then sit back and see how welcoming and accommodating they are to the illegals then.

Lived in the New Haven area a number of years ago. It's the home of Yale University and beyond that, especially in recent years, has little to offer. The bad areas of New Haven in part bordered the University; while I lived there a Yale student (sophomore) was murdered on a street a block off campus. The perp was a black teenager, a HS dropout, who decided to kill someone. To have a Yale student with a wealth of potential lose his life to a loser punk black kid was a travesty. The local media covered the story and the NYC media made mention of it, but it quickly faded away. Likely at the behest of Yale who didn't want this kind of publicity.

“Toni Harp is one sick person.”

Indeed. She is one very sick and selfish woman.

Clearly derelict in her duties, disregarding the safety of females all over New Haven in favor of her own political ambitions.

Cut off their Federal $$$.And if the State of Connecticut tries to “reimburse” New haven for the loss penalize *it* by taking 5 times what New Haven would have lost.

2 Section 642(b) of IIRIRA further provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of federal, state or local law, “no person or agency may prohibit, or in any way restrict, a Federal, State, or local government entity” from sending information about an individual’s immigration status, lawful or unlawful, to the INS, from maintaining such information, or from exchanging such information with any other federal, state, or local government entity. See 8 U.S.C. 1373(b) (Supp. III 1997).
(The IIRIRA is Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Signed by Bill Clinton )

...next we’ll need a Constitutional amendment to enforce the Constitution.
