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."

Going to court to protect your right to break the law? Only a liberal would think that makes sense.

Go home. Work with your own police.

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?

That lie has been spreading for years on end. Do they not think those people reproduce? I mean like, rabbits?

I’m under the impression that there isn’t much Trump does that he hasn’t researched.

Apparently Trump likes President Andrew Jackson. Something Jackson allegedly said comes to mind. “John Marshal has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.” Both Georgia and President Jackson ignored the court decision. (It had to do with Indian owned land on which gold was discovered.)

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

No, they are not facts that exist only in their brains - they are facts that exist only in anti-American leftist liberal fantasy land, which is why all of them subscribe to the same fantasy land BS.

Trump also needs to seek legislation from Congress because the courts are going to be looking for any excuse to block this. And put the right’s smartest lawyers to work in drafting the legidlation.

Problem with this is that federal funds come with strings attached. Such as, no federal funds shall be used to support criminal activity. So neither New York, Commiefornia or anyone else who harbors criminals would be eligible. If the courts do the right thing, the case will be tossed rather quickly. And New York STILL won’t get the cash.

Should one pick a quarrel with someone who appoints judges by the court?

So federal funds are yet another entitlement now? NYC has some sort of unassailable right to our money? Prove it.

5-7 years ago they claimed 20-30 mil, now 11 million.

Must have been some kind of die off we didn't know about. /s

Okay.

So NYC who is blatantly breaking federal laws,

wants to go to federal court,

and have a federal judge tell the federal government,

that they cannot withhold federal funds from cities deliberately violating federal law.

First, yeah, let’s see how that one goes.

Second, has he ever gotten money from feds before? And the STRINGS that come along with them?

Does he not remember federal highway funds being yanked if states did not lower their speed limits to federally-demanded 55 mph limits?

All the strings attached to federal education funds?

OMG I would love to be the lawyer who gets to decimate NYC in federal court.

I think both the judge and the lawyer would get to rip NYC up and down the block for a few hours before kicking their asses out on the sidewalk.

Like the BS 'they won't be afraid of cooperating with the police' the've been throwing out for years as if the invaders working in the political criminals homes or with the cartels will help solve those crimes.

You going to be giving US a lot more respect very shortly, diblassio.

Further, federal strings to funds was how the fedgov got the national drinking age to 21.

If hes gonna sit there and try to say this can’t be done, he’s forgetting liberal history.

New York City debt is somewhere around $115 to $120 dillion dollars.

It has more than doubled in the last 15 years.

de Blasio cannot afford to lose any federeal finances and he can’t take a chance on the city’s credit rating to take a drop by fighting Trump on the Sanctuary issue.

But he is an ultra far left democrat and all democrats believe they are always right and that logic, natural and man-made laws, and normal rules of conduct don’t apply to them.

A stupid argument from a stupid man.
