Back to Videos De Blasio: We Will Take Trump To Court If He Attempts To Pull Federal Funds
RCP video ^ | 1-26-2017 | Tim Hains

Posted on 01/26/2017 2:46:18 PM PST by Sir Napsalot

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."

The real number seems to be somewhere between 30 and 45 million.

I concur.
They have been lying with the same number for 15 years while at least 1 million more come across the border each year.

Exactly! Every one of these mayors is exposed.

They swear an oath to uphold the laws of the nation, and then they jump off the deep end and trash everyone who calls them on it.

Put any three of these rat bastards in prison, and watch the volunteers (mayors, police chiefs, city council members) suddenly appear for helping round up illegals.

If they are “undocumented” then how does he know their are one half million?

And why not 482,657 or 521,549?

I hate the lying left.

Let the Commie puke try.

It’s mistake to try to appease the Left. Expose them, end it.

"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."

First was outrage and indignant defiance. Now it seems he's trying a little wheedling and emotional string-pulling -- perhaps looking to try some negotiating? ("I'll round up the worst of 'em, and maybe a few thou on top of that for good measure... now about about letting us keep at least $4.5 million??? Please??")

I hope NYC loses every damn penny. Let's find out just how much the Left is willing to sacrifice -- PERSONALLY -- for those "just looking for a better life."

If you send them all home, they won't have to be a victim of crime in NYC and they won't need to talk to the police. Duh!

I am no lawyer, but after the 2012 ruling in Arizona vs United States I don't see this law suit having any chance in hell.

It was decided in the Supreme Court that Arizona could not even pass a law to help enforce federal immigration law. Now trying to sue the Feds over merely withholding funds to a local government that openly flaunts immigration law seems like a far far far far weaker case to make than Arizona's.

Roll out the “Doesn’t Have Standing” response. The Progressives have so loved using that over the last eight years.

And put his money into a fund to compensate victims of crime committed by illegal immigrants or illegal jihadists.

Especially after 7 days of Trump’s first week showed the country (the world) he’s not bluffing about his campaign promises.......

De Blasio has to sue. The courts are their last line of defense before President Trump sweeps up their undocumented immigrants voters and hustles them back across the border. They lost at the ballot box, Trump destroyed them in the media, and they obviously can't win this in the streets so it's venue shopping for left wing judges or total defeat. The game ain't over but we are definitely winning BIGLY!

Would you like to serve them consecutively, Mr. Mayor? You deserve to.
