On CNN Thursday morning, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that if the Trump administration attempts to pull federal funds from 'sanctuary cities,' New York will take them to court.

"New York City has half a million undocumented people, we want them to come forward and work with the police, if they see a drime or are a victim of crime. If they believe by talking to a police officer, they would get deported... they are not going to work with police," he said about the 'sanctuary cities' label.

"This is about human beings, families that came here," he said. "I want people to follow the law, I don't think people should violate our borders, but let's face it, this has been a problem in our country for hundreds of years."

Up to '9 Billions' of cut funding will do that to you.

[VanDeKoik]

And I wonder what law he can cut where a city can force the feds to give them money while they OPENLY break the law?

Like how many damn crimes have been solved because some illegal alien talked to the cops anyway.

[OpusatFR]

Really? Hundreds of years? I have the immigration papers from my grandparents. Some of the relatives they traveled to the US with were sent back to Europe because they had active TB.

I hate leftys who throw out ‘facts’ that only exist in their warped brains.

[MtnClimber]

The FBI should arrest DeBlasio for violating federal law which he is clearly doing.

[Lurkinanloomin]

If NYC has a half million illegal aliens all by themselves, how are we supposed to believe there are only 11 million across the country?

[grobdriver]

we want them to come forward and work with the police, if they see a drime (sic) or are a victim of crime

They are all committing a crime, so they should come forward.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I don’t think he gets it.

One day the federal funds just won’t be there . . . it’s not like he has to sign an approval or anything.

And he still won’t get it.

[Huntress]

I really hope Kaiser Wilhelm sues. I’d love to see Trump’s snd Sessions’ response.

[ptsal]

Thieves are “New York Breadwinners” under Mayor Bill’s urban dictionary.

[gogeo]

Good luck with that.

[Paladin2]

E.O. to Census Bureau to get off their dead asses and perform a proper count.

[Logical me]

The FBI should arrest DeBlasio for violating federal law which he is clearly doing.

Yup! This piece of communists garbage is a criminal and guilty of treason.

[mountn man]

"New York City has half a million undocumented people, we want them to come forward and work with the police, if they see a drime or are a victim of crime.

The very fact that they are here, means that a crime has been committed.

[Col Frank Slade]

So I guess since it’s “been a problem in our country for hundreds of years” we shouldn’t bother to solve it ?

[dp0622]

I wonder if my mom has pop’s immigration papers or her parents’?

[arthurus]

And if they are rounded up and deported or convinced their future is not on this side of the Rio Grande they will cease to be victims, perpetrators, or witnesses of crime in sanctuary cities.

NYC can take their problems to court but it will wind up in front of a more Constitutionally observant Court than they were expecting.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Spend money fighting for money you aren’t getting? Sounds like a typical RAT move. #doit

[DannyTN]

Lol, I would not want to take Trump on in a legal battle.

Not saying it can’t be won, if Trump acts outside the law. But you better have your ducks in a row, if you are going to make that case.

[Steely Tom]

Trump to NY: 'Drop Dead."

Knowing DJT, he's already had this possibility researched in detail, and knows (1) the funding can't be restored by injunction while the case is moving through the judicial branch, and (2) NYC will lose in the end.

[Scrambler Bob]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

I needed a good chuckle
