De Blasio threatens lawsuit over Trump's move on sanctuary cities
The Hill ^ | January 26, 2017 | Rebecca Savransky

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) is threatening to sue President Trump's administration in response to an executive order signed Wednesday to strip federal grants from "sanctuary" cities, Politico reported.

"President Trump issued an executive order today and it's purported purpose was to enhance public safety, but here in New York City and in cities across this nation this executive order could in fact undermine public safety,” de Blasio said during a press conference at City Hall.

De Blasio said the "potential funding cuts suggested in the executive order would first and foremost fall on the NYPD."

There are "hundreds of American cities where this executive order could undermine public safety," he added.

De Blasio also said the city would not "deport law abiding New Yorkers."

Libtard logic ... refuses to deport "law abiding people" who are breaking the law ... will sue the President for stopping his city from engaging in illegal activity ... will waste money on lawyers because his case will be thrown out of court.

Illegal aliens are not immigrants.

Immigrants are people who apply to be Americans in their home country, pay their fees, wait their turn, learn the language and comply with the laws.

I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on television but...

We have separation of power. I do not think there is any court in the land that has the power to stop a president from enforcing laws that Congress has passed.

The liberals have been ignoring laws for so long they began to believe they get to pick and choose which laws to obey.

President Trump will educate them as a bonus while getting control over our borders.

This Leftist rat, living under an assumed name, is stupid. This is not about public safely. It’s about OBEYING THE LAW!

Federal law trumps state and local law on immigration.

Such a lawsuit would be tossed out of court and federal funding has always come with conditions.

Democrats are perfectly free to forego the funding but they have no standing to demand the taxpayers subsidize their defiance of our nation’s laws.

Going to sue because he can’t continue to do illegal things? Typical liberal logic.

De Blasio said the “potential funding cuts suggested in the executive order would first and foremost fall on the NYPD.”
Seems he forgot when the NYPD turned their backs to him, because he’s threatening them again. Just a reminder, Cde. Wilhelm: Obama is gone and the support for your evil policies in DC is also gone.

So he’s using federal money to support local police ?
What else is he using the money for ? He’s breaking the law
for misappropriation of funds and not following federal law on ILLEGAL immigrants.

Arizona sued to enforce state laws that supported federal immigration law and was stopped by federal courts, ruling that the federal government controls immigration policy.

It would be a farce if the court supports New York in bypassing federal immigration laws after stopping Arizona from supporting federal immigration laws.

Investigations are needed into the slush fund called The Mayor's Fund for New York City. DeBlobbio put his wife in charge of the millions of tax dollars pouring in....what's she doing w/ all that untraceable money. Did struggling New Yorkers get any of it?

THE ODD COUPLE---BLOBBIO DESCRIBES HER AS HIS "NUMBER ONE ADVISOR" Insider buzz is that Blobbio is ruled by his wife---that the two work hand in hand to make public policy decisions. (Earlier news reports say Police Commissioner Bratton cautioned DeBlob not to bring his wife to the crucial meeting held to redress grievances of five cop unions Blobbio had slandered. Then.... boom...Bratton was ousted).

RESUME ENHANCEMENT PROGRESSIVE-STYLE During DeBlobbio's campaign, his wife Chirlane I. McCray was billed as a writer, poet, editor, communications professional, and political figure who published poetry and worked in politics for the Clintons.

THE REAL STORY Mrs DeBlobbio loudly declared her lesbianism in a magazine article---she was in a black feminist lesbian group and wrote poetry about being a lesbian. Politicker noted her husband's campaign website doesn't reference her background as an avowed lesbian and a lesbian activist or lesbian poet: It notes her affiliation with the Combahee River Collective, omitting mention of the group’s lesbian roots, referencing it as "a pioneering black feminist collective."

The two met while both worked for the Dinkins campaign. She says she had a nose ring and wore African garb when he spotted her and was completely smitten. She never told him she was a lesbian. And later said after their marriage she was still attracted to women. During the mayoral campaign, she was asked about her lesbian lifestyle----she retorted she "didn't understand the question." The Blobbio's honeymooned in Communist Cuba and picked coffee beans w/ Sandinistas (then America's arch-enemies).

The New York Post ran a cartoon depicting the couple in bed, McCray on the phone telling someone, "I used to be a lesbian, but my husband, Bill de Blasio, won me over," while her husband lay beside her clad in sexy lingerie.

Three cities should receive President Trumps hell and maybe someone in each city be arrested for treason. They are Chicago, NY and San Francisco.
