Columbus Mayor Ginther issues executive order, counters Trump's immigration ban

Mayor Andy Ginther countered President Donald Trump's executive order with one of his own.

The mayor said Columbus will be a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees and city resources won't be used to enforce immigration laws.

The executive order comes just days after Trump banned immigrants from seven majority-Muslim nations. That ban led to large protests over the weekend at John Glenn International Airport.

About 50 protesters demonstrated outside City Hall Monday evening calling on Columbus to designate itself a "sanctuary city". Ginther's executive order stops short of that but the protesters said they supported the steps he took.

We are at war and it’s high time these treasonous idiots are held to account. They should be tried for treason against the United States.

All federal money must be tied to the number of legal residents. Money for schools, welfare, health care and all other services must only go the citizens. Let these cities pay for their illegals. They have to be getting federal money to pay all these bills.

Why isn’t refusing to enforce the law a criminal offense?
...
State’s rights. Locals don’t have to help the feds enforce federal law.

=========================================

Only if the state can show the federal law they want to ignore is unconstitutional. Think they can do that?

Otherwise, there's anarchy. Example, "santuary" cities.

I think Sessions is going to be very busy. These mayors need to be jailed and removed from office for openly breaking the laws of this country.

It doesn’t seem they’re capable of just calming down and dealing with the reality of a Trump presidency. It’s not even as if they’re going to regroup and come up with a rational platform in order to make their party viable once again, not if the DNC is STILL keeping racist radicals at the helm. They’re full of hatred and rebellion. They make threats of protesting the whole 4 years. And it seems there is nothing we can say to help them understand what was once common sense.

Add in Cleveland. Also, look at Kasick and Portman. It’s astounding. The ‘pubs in OH don’t even pretend to represent those who voted for them when it matters. They’re totally bought and paid for by Cheap Labor and Corporate Greed.

That's okay. Federal Law Enforcement will be happy to assist.

To: Seeing More Clearly Now

Being a central Ohio native, I have seen a once great conservative city morph into a crime ridden liberal haven. Two areas of the downtown, German Village (nicknamed gerbil village) and the arena district are designated LGBTQ strongholds. There are other areas close to OSU which are almost all Somalis. The remaining areas are filthy. Yessir Bob, the reign of black Mayor Coleman for over fifteen years has destroyed the city.

The issue is enforcement of the law. A state can refuse to help enforce a federal law even when it’s constitutional.

Your city just went to the back of the line when it comes to federal government "resources".

Dumb @ss. 😀

=======================================================

This is an issue that the liberals and subversives have intentionally muddied.

Since states, cities, universities, etc. do not have the authority to create their own immigration laws, the immigration laws derived from the authority found in the Constitution are the supreme law of the land.

LEO's take an Oath of Office to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
