Fulop on 'sanctuary city' order: 'We're going to stand by our values'
The Jersey Journal ^ | February 3, 2017

Posted on 02/03/2017 2:23:45 PM PST by SMGFan

Blasting the tone of anti-illegal immigration sentiment coming from the nation's capital, Mayor Steve Fulop today signed an aggressive executive order intended to make Jersey City a true "sanctuary city" for immigrants who have entered the country illegally.

The 10-page order, Fulop's 39th since he became mayor in 2013, is expansive, barring city cops from honoring immigration detainer requests from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement; prohibiting federal immigration and border protection agents from accessing city facilities or property without a warrant; bestowing benefits like the city's paid sick leave mandate on all residents regardless of immigration status; and more.

This mayor is going to force the President to make an example of him by yanking his city’s federal funds.

President Trump needs to visit Liberty State Park and talk to America like Ronald Reagan did on 9/01/1980

Actually, the FED’s just need to arrest the Mayor for failure to follow federal law. It is a felony!

Sounds good, but I wish he'd put out a weekly video address to the nation. He did it once, and it was very effective.

What values? Protect killers and rapists. Stinking pigs have no idea they even live in a free Country like America. Screw them. Cut funds and send in fully armed ICE. This delay is going to destroy America.

USA needs to stand by lawful laws. Laws which don’t contradict USConstitution. Change these laws or follow them.

This list is getting long. Trumps team better figure out a way to nip this. There’s even one in Texas. If a mayor is arrested- instant martyr and they know it. At least start cutting the funding now to every one. Even Soros doesn’t have enough money to make up the difference to all of them.

It is becoming obvious that city states are exempting themselves from federalism. Fine let that include finances too.

Minus the cost of expanding the Federal Marshal service and ICE to do the job the locals refuse to do.

All the sanctuary policies I’ve seen so far have stated they are ignoring Detainer orders but are cooperating with ICE if the alien is wanted for serious crimes.

I think it is time to update all the Federal criminal records of illegals that are generating these “Detainers”. Update them at random as being wanted for murder, kidnapping, and rape. Force these local cops to gamble on who they are letting go.

“our values” - Your values, mayor, are not our values.

I thought I had read that President Trump was going to put out a weekly list of crimes committed by illegals. A list like that would change people minds in a hurry.

This is rebellion. Make no mistake. It will have to be put down as a rebellion.
