Trump should make a preemptive strike and file a class action suit against all the cities, colleges, schools and the executives who initiated the sanctuary policies seeking fines and jail time in accordance with US law. In conjunction cut off federal funds
Trump is going to suggest the new federal Budget and hopefully Congress will pass it.
Trump is going to have executive orders and the Justice Department implementing his policies and the laws Congress (which is now Republican in both houses) writes.
Boy does it sound dumb to litigate and fight that, but Democrats have never seemed all that bright.
OK, but you’ll have to use city money for the lawyers.
President Trump should also use the bully pulpit and tell citizens of Sanctuary Cities if they don’t like it they should object by calling, sending letters, emailing and holding peaceful protests.
IIRC, Texas was one of the states that was really p**** about it.
Let him go ahead and take Trump to court if he takes back federal funds. Obama is gone now and things are a little saner. De Blasio would surely lose unless he gets one of Obama’s appointees.
Hilarious. This nitwit who’s furious that the Electoral College elected POTUS instead of New York City, is demanding that the people in flyover country continue forking over cash to support lawbreakers in New York City.
Now de blasio is such a commie moron. He can never win against the Feds.
1. Feds have a superior constitutional position and federal law has supremacy over your puny NYC garbage law.
2. The Feds have more lawyers and will win in lawfare.
3. The Feds can print money, and the commie in NYC can’t.
4. Trump can cut off whatever Fed funds he wants. So Trump would likely keep funding local NYC police involved in fighting terrorism, but cut off all the skanky commie pet projects that get Federal aid
The commie can’t win this game of chicken. When the other mayors fold, as in Miami, mayor commie will look like a moron.
Great idea!
Lose an income stream, then increase your expenses.
“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.”
So lets use the Constitution as it’s written to solve this hundreds year old problem De bla bla. I refuse to join the pity party for those here illegally. My employees, who are of Mexican and Guatemalan descent came here legally and it took one of them over 14 years to become a citizen. He’s really irate at what is happening here. We do need E-verify but that’s still not foolproof.
Good. Go into court and make a fool of yourself for claiming you city a criminal zone you idiot! You should be in jail for refusing to do your duty!
Entitled much?
My wife says they're like petulant children who need a spanking and sent to their room without dinner.
There's a down payment on the border wall, courtesy of NYC.
The Trump ought to counter and arrest/prosecute anyone aiding and abetting in the breaking of Federal Immigration Law.....
Lets see if I understand this. Blasio is going to argue in court that the feds have to give him money so he can continue to violate US law.
