If you ever wonder why residents of our nation’s cities seem to have so little regard for law and order, look no further than their elected Democratic representatives.
President-elect Donald Trump is still months away from taking office — and already, knowing they can’t be jailed for not enforcing the law, Democratic mayors of major U.S. cities are promising they will do everything they can top undermine the Trump administration’s goals.
Liberals have long had nasty relationships with federal immigration officials, and are saying they’ll do all they can to stop immigration reform under Trump, despite vows from the president-elect to withhold potentially millions of dollars in taxpayer money if they don’t cooperate.
New York’s Bill de Blasio, Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel and Seattle’s Ed Murray are among those in illegally set-up “sanctuary cities” who have openly defied Trump’s agenda.
In Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Jorge Elorza, the son of legal Guatemalan immigrants, said he’d continue a longstanding city policy of refusing to hold people charged with civil infractions for federal immigration officials, and Newark’s Ras Baraka echoed that, calling Trump’s rhetoric on immigration “scary.”
During the campaign, Trump gave an immigration speech in which he promised to “end the sanctuary cities” and said those “that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars.” He blamed such policies for “so many needless deaths.”
In a “60 Minutes” interview broadcast Sunday, Trump said his administration’s immediate priority will be on deporting criminals and securing the border.
But significant questions — and unease — remain concerning his approach to sanctuary cities.
It generally refers to jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That can mean, for example, they don’t notify immigration officials when an undocumented immigrant is about to be released from custody.
Some cities, like San Francisco, have long declared themselves safe havens for illegal immigrants, issuing local ID cards to allow them to access government or other taxpayer-funded services. It’s also been used to refer to cities that bar employees, including police, from inquiring about a person’s legal status.
Since states and cities can’t be required to enforce federal law — and there’s no federal law requiring police to ask about a person’s legal status — it’s likely that any Trump effort to crack down on sanctuary cities would focus on those that refuse to comply with ICE requests, said Roy Beck, chief executive of NumbersUSA, which wants to see immigration levels reduced.
It’s also unclear what money Trump might pull from the cities. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that for Congress to impose conditions on the receipt of federal money by the states, the conditions must be reasonably related to the purpose of the money. For example, the feds threatened to withhold highway funds from any state that failed to adopt a 0.08 blood-alcohol limit: Both the limit and the highway funding were related to road safety.
That said, the U.S. Justice Department’s inspector general looked at some jurisdictions with sanctuary policies earlier this year and concluded some appear to violate a federal law that says state and local governments may not prohibit or restrict officials from sharing information about a person’s immigration status with federal immigration officials. Having such policies could jeopardize millions of dollars in DOJ grant money the jurisdictions receive, the IG memo said.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, which also calls for lower immigration levels, about 300 jurisdictions around the country have sanctuary-like policies.
“The result is people who should be deported, who have come to the attention of police because of crime, are released back into the community,” said the group’s director of policy studies, Jessica Vaughan.
Exhibit A for supporters of a crackdown on sanctuary cities is the fatal shooting of Kate Steinle in 2015, on a San Francisco pier by a man who had been previously deported and who was released by local law enforcement.
The heinous crime is something Trump supporters want to stop in the future — but Democratic mayors don’t seem to think is a problem.

Here in the Boston area cities like Somerville, Chelsea and Lawrence are sanctuary cities. Lawrence was once a proud city of many ethnicities. One of America’s first industrial cities. Up until the early 1980’s it had a low crime rate. From that time on, crime, arson and huge numbers on welfare became the norm.
William says
No tax payer money for these cities. Piss on them instead.
Clearhead says
@ “William” — AGREED ! ! ! But, considering “…..Dem mayors SPIT on law and order…..” While we’re at it, let’s SPIT ON THEM as well ! ! !
Hugh says
Let’s not stoop to their level. Just stop the flow of Federal Funds, not only to sanctuary cities but to all states and cities. Then, the Federal Tax Burden on all taxpayers could be lowered, and the taxpayers of states and cities could make their own decisions on whether or not state and local taxes are being spent wisely..
Concerned says
Just goes to show your scum bag Democrats are still at it. Trump does need to defund this program. Again tax payers are getting screwed. Hope soon all of these scum bags bite the dust. It just goes to show there are still stupid Americans among us. What do they have to be hit in the head with “ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS STUPIDS”. Would love to see what would happen if this was one of there loved ones being killed. Bet they would be the first ones to complain and cry.
JOHN says
If they release someone and that person does a major crime or murder that mayor should be held liable and go to jail with that person. If the illegal gets off the mayor should still go in and lose all his benefits and not be able to get bailed out. He or she is now a major criminal just like the other one.
Russel Goebert says
Exactly right! It is just like A & B.
Inspector Tom says
Since they are aiding and abetting criminals they should be held accountable. Also many of these cities are tourist destinations if people would just visit cities that aren’t sanctuary cities
maybe the loss of the tourist dollars will hurt the people that depend on tourist money will raise their voices at their city halls
Tom says
Need to cut the head of the snake. It’s the people that are running government that needs to see the error of their ways. They are only hurting the very people that legally voted them into office. The class of people that we are talking about here were cast out of their home countries because they were not wanted there!
Donna B. says
YES, YES, YES!!!
RMF says
Why is this r. emanual clown still breathing free air?
Fred says
What I cannot even figure out is how this guy who is presiding over the CRIME CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, Chicago, where “black lives do not matter at all”, has the audacity of facing the cameras to announce that “he will continue offering protection in his city”…, unless he really means “I will protect all criminals, but not one black, and much less anyone who is not a liberal, like me”. Way to go. Mr. Mayor!
Nancy says
These are not the old Blue Dog Dems, they are the party of the Democratic Socialist of America. We need to get rid of the DSA scum as well as sanctuary cities. I agree with the comment above
fighterforfreedom says
They will get funded by the same people whom contributed to Killiary’s campaign – this frees them up entirely from having any allegiance (their method of allegiance is living on the edge of civility with the threat that they will start incivility if they do not get their freebies) and carry the torch for their new savior whom is soros, muslim terrorist organizations, globalists, etc whom desire the demise of “Government by the people”.
There will be significant change righting the ship to eliminate these criminals b/c they have had 8 years to become entrenched.
LibertarianSoldier says
The politicians should go to prison for breaking 8 USC, Section 1224
“Any person who, knowing that an alien remains in the US in violation of law, conceals, harbors or shields that person from detection…shall be funded under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years.”
San Francisco, where Kate Stienle was murdered by a 5 times, deported, 7 time convicted felon and illegal alien, released against a hold by ICE, who insists they will not stop shielding illegal aliens, even after he Steinle murder, recieves more than $1 Billion per year from the Federal government.
While there’s little I believe trump is truthful of, let’s hope that his vow to defund sanctuary cities isn’t another lie to get a socialist elected by the RINO party.

KT says
Wow! I have a concept for them all…..enforce the laws & prosecute those who do not abide by them, especially those in Office holding a higher positions- Mayor’s or any others defiant of the laws! For the record in my small community outside of Tyler, Texas on 10/28/16 a 10 year old girl, Kayla Gomez was kidnapped from the front entrance of the Church, where she was with her family in a prayer meeting. We were so devastated as our hearts felt empty! They found her the following Saturday 7 days later, not to far from where she was abducted , thrown down a well in 6 feet of water! You want to know the sad thing????? She was kidnapped, raped & murdered by an illegal immigrant, who was a cousin- in- law to the child! The man has. 3 yr old daughter himself! He got in trouble for domestic violence in 2014 & was in the process of being deported back, they were waiting on ICE!!!! Now a little girl is dead!
Lois Wenk says
Yes, no welfare money for them.
Peter Anton says
Sure just keep sending all the welfare money to the red states, Mississippi. Louisiana, Texas, Alabama ect. where the Republican inbreds are too lazy to work.
Fred says
Peter, just name one in Mississippi, or Louisiana, or Texas, or Alabama, or any of your free chosen “etc.s” Or, better still, shut up until you know what you are ranting about… with facts and Logic. Thank you, sir!
Robert Wayne says
Hey shithead, we pay taxes in the deep south for those scumbag illegal aliens you love so much. It’s time the federal govt. start listening to we taxpayers instead of empty headed morons like you and left wing extremist criminals who should be behind bars.

Where can we stop giving taxes in the beginning?

Also curtail all Federal assistance to ILLEGAL ALIENS in said cities.
Arthur Hartsock says
Mr. Trump has been pushing his plan to revitalize inner cities’ infrastructure. That’s the carrot. The stick would be the cities wouldn’t receive the assistance unless they agree to play by Trump’s rules. This would be one solution to this problem. And as I said earlier, once the inner city youth starts working these construction jobs with very decent pay they’ll learn the difference between the Democrat and Republican ideas. And hopefully they will vote Republican in thanks for their new jobs and prosperity.
Carlos Becerril says
Thank you that would be the logical thing to do
William says
When they do that also go pick all the riot gear, body and dash cams paid for with Federal Money, NO Federal Money for schools Med Clinics, Transportation systems, Briarcliff go on and on
Budman says
Well, the citizens of your State voted in large part for Hillary Clinton and with her admitted policy toward illegal immigrants, this seems to imply voting for a Democrat is more important than someone who will solve the problem of sanctuary cities and bring back our economy.
Main Street says
@Budman: In the past 25 years in Massachusetts, 5 of our 6 governors have been Republican. Weld, Cellucci, Swift, Romney and now Baker. We had 8 years of Deval Patrick who is a slimy Democrat. The Republican governors appointed many leftist judges here. Our current governor, Charles Baker is about 5% less to the left than Patrick was. I voted for Trump. Trump is more like a Teddy Roosevelt or Harry Truman.
LibertarianSoldier says
“Sanctuary cities” are social engineering by means of and toward election fraud. Those that understand and feel the pain of sanctuary cites know that the government, its party and its propaganda ministry (media) are in the middle of a sort of ethnic cleansing but not just ethnic, ethics cleansing, as well. What they’re saying, for political gain, is that “if you want law and order, you’re racist”.
A few days ago I saw a professor say, on TV that illegal aliens, per capita commit less crime than Citizens. That very well may be a statistic but not a legitimate one. First, I don’t believe it’s an actual statistic. Then, I believe that illegal aliens and other so-called minorites, in general are the beneficiaries of a racist system. This is why the president’s mass release of criminals on the street, that doesn’t include those involved in egregiously violent crime is a lie.
There is a concerted effort to release illegal aliens and so called minorities to pad the numbers, to keep them off of the violent crime rollls so they won’t have it on their records and so they won’t be deported. This is the real institutional racism, when it has to do with Latin American foreign nationals. Sanctuary cities are a revolving door that protects and handles illegal aliens and minorities with kit gloves, where a force sodomy charge can be dropped to a traffic violation for following too close.
The sanctuary city is an unlawful social manipulation to dilute the country of Patriotism, Americanism, Constitutionalism, Law and order by skipping past the one issue that touches illegal aliens in the Constitution, the term, “Naturalization”. The skipping of naturalization toward Citizenship keeps the new socially, ethically and ethnically engineered populace uneducated and loyal to the scofflaws that sponsor them for the purposes of mass election fraud. It has to be stopped, now. Hold trump’s feet to the fire. Any illegal alien caught invading our borders or committing any crime must be sent back and an example must be made, regardless of whether they’ve exploited the lie of birthright Citizenship for illegal aliens. This was their choice. It is not the law.
Dagonet says
This professor said illegal aliens commit less crime? An illegal alien is here ILLEGALLY! WTF is this professor talking about!
Debby Pratt says
They weren’t even on the same ‘page’, for Pete’s Sake!! Yelling ‘Apples’ and ‘Banana’ are still ‘fruit’!
The professor was arguing against ‘drunk drivers’ and ignoring the point of ‘illegal immigrant’!! He would not begin to accept that fact that, even BEFORE driving drunk in this country–‘another illegal’ act–he was HERE illegally!! ONE LESS tragedy would have occurred!! Multiply that by other criminal incidents that would never have happened, had not the ‘illegal’ been in the country to start with! We have enough to
deal with our own ‘law breakers’–we don’t need to ‘import’ several million more!! He was also incorrect in stating that the crime rates have not escalated drastically since the ‘flood’ of illegals have started!
connie Condra says
I was going to say the same thing. If an individual has entered this country illegally, he/she is a criminal and should not be eligible for US citizenship. I will go a step further. Any child born on US soil whose parent/parents are here illegally are themselves illegals. They ARE NOT US citizens.
KT says
That is exactly the way it should be enforced! All these Mayor’s acting like children & pouting is really ridiculous to say the least!!! Our children are watching all this crap & they do not have a clue what it is really about…. unfortunately our children live what they learn & by watching adults actions! Really sad!
Peter Anton says
Hey fool unless you’re 100% Native American you are also illegal. The tribes didn’t give you or your ancestors citizenship. How’s it feel to be an illegal immigrant?
Fred says
Peter, Peter, Peter… How can you be so blind? Do you know what you just wrote? You just said that all the previous 44 Presidents of the USA, WERE ILLEGAL!!! BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT “100% NATIVE AMERICANS!!! That is a historic HISTORY BLASPHEMY, my friend! That is how ignorant you seems to be…
Stan says
We are a nation of law and order and when these cities disobey the law that to me should be treated the same as anarchy!! Although I have never been anything but a Republican all my life (85+ old), I have in the past voted for Democrats, BUT, they were the TRUE Democrats. The Democratic party has been hijacked by the so-called Liberals or Progressive people, just as the Republican party has been infiltrated by liberals. You NEVER saw any rioting or property damage done during the worse eight (8) years of my life, right?? The very fact that O’Buma does not strongly speak up about this outrage really bothers me. I feel that our government has to do WHAT-EVER IT TAKES to bring law and order in line!! Don’t forget–George Soros who backed Clinton and many others are behind all of this. Law and order must prevail!! God Bless
Lloydo says
Good going, Stan. You wrote a good one.
I think I heard on the news that Russia has put out an international arrest warrant on Soros. I hope it sticks. He is a dangerous man to America. Obama should have been much stronger with his speech to get these cry-baby losers off the street. 3,000 pounds of water pressure would work.
Debby Pratt says
We need to remember that Obama has yet another ‘agenda’ he wants to accomplish!! He doesn’t WANT to stop the riots!! Many of them are ‘hired’ to fan the flames and others are swayed by misinformation and fear. Obama is counting on this to get ‘out of control’ to the point of declaring ‘Martial Law’! Just another ‘power play’, in my opinion. Since this country has never experienced this in our history–these ‘spoiled babies’ have little idea what that means!! Total loss of ‘Freedom’!! The ‘price’ is too high for me!

Im not a full fan of trump but some of his policies make good sense and i want to see him have a chance. It is an absolute outrage the way the left is sabotaging his presidency b4 it begins, right under the nose of the law. I cant believe it. What has the place come to?
Trump can be voted out in 4 years. Half the population voted him in. Why the hell cant people do the right thing and respect the process, let him get on with the presidency and in 4 years time he can be voted out if thats what they want. Im not right or left, but my overwhelming sense is of disgust and scorn at the way these demonstators and officials too, are abusing the system.

With his republican congress he should be able to change a few laws that will make the politician that commits or aids a crime be put away for life.
Richard Schwartz says
Do any of these mayors observed how Donald won? He will do things that nobody expected. How about reducing government purchases from a given city? Intensive inspection of city/state construction projects? Trump has many arrows. Some scuttle, some brutal. Maybe just making the nation aware of things from the bully pulpit? How will law enforcement respond to criminal charges? What about questioning city officials about drug activity and enforcement?

Stick 2 or 3 of the high profile ones in front of a federal judge and you will be surprised just how fast the rest will start obeying the law.
Besides, if we are going to arrest the illegals for breaking our imagration laws what reason woule we not arrest the people that are aiding and abetting them?
Everybody screamed pertty loud about Clinton getting away with felonies so why would we not yell just as loud about the “sanctuary” criminals.
THE LAW IS THE LAW.
Cora Bird says
Unfortunately here in crazy liberal California, refusing to abide by federal immigration laws will result in a huge influx to this state of illegals fleeing the states that will uphold the laws. Shame on these Democrat-controlled cities and states!
Robert F says
Sorry for the fix this policy will put your city and state in. BUT, when taxes rise so high the people will not be able to afford them and government services begin slipping, maybe even the liberals will see the stupid errors of their thinking and vote the “leaders” out of office – and maybe – get some real conservatives to govern. But, I do not look forward to this happening anytime soon in California.

Arnold Baron says
In case you do not comprehend, the U.S.A. is a republic, not a democracy. Go look up the difference in the dictionary. Trump won in a way as defined by our type of government. Should you not like our present form of government, then change the Constitution. Meanwhile, suggest that you do a bit of research on our constitutional form of government. Greece was a democracy.
The GOP did stop stop the demo”rats” in a lawful election.
Debby Pratt says
Good point!! Also, by the latest information–Hillary didn’t exactly win the ‘popular’ vote either!! Once the ‘trash votes’ were sifted out, by the latest count, she still would have lost the popular vote by 2 or 3 million votes!! So, whining that she would have ‘won’ by ‘popular vote’ no longer ‘holds water’!!
JOHN says
He would have had the majority if the illegals and dead people didn’t vote for Hillary.
Tom says

The class of people that we are talking about here were cast out of their home countries because they were not wanted there!
Tom says
They do not count absentee ballots after the election has been decided by the “Electoral Vote” 66.37% are historically Republican so if they were counted, Hillary would have lost the popular vote by a landslide. This is fact. Look it up for yourself. Plus it’s common knowledge the liberal Democrat vote has 8% fraud with their count. Another fact, which can be looked up.
Why do you think they fight tooth and nail against a National Voters Card system that would guarantee only one vote. You would think that all Americans regardless of party would want the very same thing. Every vote cast that is not legal, negates a legal vote. It could easily be your vote that winds up not counted because of fraud. Vote sure. Make the card free to all Americans, but make it fair for both parties.

Mrph says
Sadly, that’s correct. The once great “City of Big Shoulders” has been on a steady decline thanks to many years of Democratic leadership. President-Elect Trump will (and should) most definitely cut off social services funding for these cities that choose to shelter ILLEGAL Immigrants. Chicago is now in such bad financial shape due to:
1) Many years of concessions in horrible union contracts (specifically with public service workers pensions), 2) Driving manufacturing businesses (once a big part of the lifeblood of the city) completely out of the city and, in some cases, the state and 3) Poorly managed public projects that cost taxpayers millions of extra dollars.
We’ll see how long “Tiny Dancer” Rahm is able to hold onto his job once the funding dries up and Chicagoans realize that ANOTHER HUGE tax increase will have to follow! I say good riddance to him.

I know that they have worked to find solutions for other nations with their water problems. The website is survivalstill.com if you want to check it out. He has webinars all the time, too. His Father’s company has one of the oldest water purification companies in existence. So lots of experience and knowledge there.

David Hummel says
Well, it is their voter base.
JOHN says
What good would that voter base if their funds are cut and they starve and kill each other in order to survive
cranerigger says
The President’s bully-pulpit should be used to name those cowards that use their offices to thwart our immigration laws. There has always been a PATH TO CITIZENSHIP – wait in line like our ancestors did. The scofflaws that disregarded our immigration law need to go and the enablers providing “sanctuary cities” need to pay a price. How stupid are the voters in our major cities, electing fools like Rahm Emanual & Bill Deblasio?
Dan says
No surprise. Libtard mayors throwing hissyfits.
Gable says
If the cities were rid of the illegals, gang bangers and political hacks they would be Republican and then you would have a livable city!
Dawg# says
I do understand the concept of having “Sovereign States”, but I cannot understand cities of any state that can rebel against the Federal Government. If there is not action taken and soon against this atrocity, America will suffer greatly. It affects more than just the cities, it affects the entire Country. I hope that every Liberal creep in the Nation winds up in prison, including Rahm Emanuel.

I REMIND THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT UPON TKING THEIR RESPECTED OFFICES, THEY TOOK AN OATH, IN MOST OATHS THERE WAS A STATEMENT OF DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND REJECTING ENEMIES BEING FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC. WHERE IN THE HELL IS THIS COUNTRY HEADED? WE NOW HAVE SAFE ZONES FOR THE LIBERALS WHO CAN’T COPE WITH REALITY.
PUPPIES,….PLAY DOH,……..COLORING BOOKS,……THERAPY AND SAFE ROOMS! THIS IS WHAT THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS GIVEN AMERICA. LIBERALS AND THEIR ‘FREE RIDE’ IN AMERICA TAKING OUR COUNTRY INTO THE OBISS!
LOOOKING AT THESE DEMOCRATIC CITIES, THEY ARE ALL CRIME RIDDEN, THEY HAVE TAKEN THE HOPE AND THE DREAMS OF A GOOD LIFE FROM THEIR RESPECTED CITIZENS, THEY CONTROL THEIR CITIZENS WITH FALSE HOPES, NO MORE DREAMING.
ELECTING DONALD TRUMP WILL BRING THESE CITIZENS GENUINE HOPE’S AND WORKING DREAMS WITHOUT FALSE LIES, ETC. JUST FOR THEIR VOTES! GOD FORBID, IF THIS IS WHAT THE YOUTH OF AMERICA ARE NOW FACED WIITH………….SAFE ZONES!
Marc Goldstone says
Simple solution. Hold Elected Officials personally responsible for the carnage resulting from illegal aliens. They will get rid of the illegal aliens to save their own hides.
Joan Melhorn says
THE VOTING IS OVER, NOW IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON, CORRECT WHAT NEEDS TO BE,
STOP ALL THE DEROGATORY REMARKS,
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY, SO MANY ANGRY, DISRESPECTFUL
PEOPLE.? DON’T FORGET THE ‘UNITED’ IS IN THE UNITED STATES
Concerned Citizen says
Thank you, Joan Melhorn! I agree! Angry, disrespectful and derogatory remarks do not resolve issues. Moving forward is all we can do. Hopefully, it can be in a civilized and “United” manner.
Our country was built on the disrespectful and uncivil slavery, abuse and discrimination of many people. Shouldn’t we attempt any rebuilding efforts with respect, civility and humanitarian hearts?
Obviously, people in the USA are filled with hatred and racist and sexist views. We can still learn to respect each other as fellow human beings.
If you’re drowning, in a burning building, under hurricane rubble, or in need of life-saving blood, will you refuse help if you find out your savior is an illegal immigrant-keeping, gay rights-upholding, abortion-rights protecting, anti-gun-supporting, and bleeding-heart Democratic? No!
You will see a fellow human being willing to save your life without considering any animosity you may feel towards them.
Tom says
I don’t believe people in the USA are filled with hatred and racist and sexist views. That is the media talking and the activist talking. Once it’s said so many times, people begin to repeat it. It’s not true. There are great people in America.
You will only hear different from people that have been in our country a short time and do not hold America’s values at heart. Only what they can get out of it.
Recognize these people for what they are and fight them at every turn.
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Rey says
Rahm Emanuel IS NOT A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT BUT A FANATIC ZIONIST AGENT OF THE LIKUD PARTY OF ISRAEL
HIS REAL Name is RAHM AUERBACH the son of EZEKIEL AUERBACH a Russian Jewish Terrorist who was part of the Israeli team who assassinated the UN envoy in Palestine Sweden’s Count BERNADOTTE in 1948 and was arrested by British police for TERRORIST ACTIVITIES in the months prior to Israel independence. Ezekiel Auerbach “Emanuel” was member of Irgun the Israeli Terrorist organization who bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem killing 91 people. WIKIPEDIA DELETED THIS INFORMATION IN 2008 SHORTLY AFTER RHAM EMANUEL WAS DESIGNATED AS PRESIDENT OBAMA’S CHIEF OF STAFF.
Rham NEVER SERVED IN THE US ARMY BUT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE ISRAELI ARMY….You don’t have to be a a genius to figure out WHY he changed his last name (Emanuel was his brother’s first name who died fighting in Israel) HE IS A NEO CON WAR MONGER WHO WANT TO MAINTAIN PERPETUAL WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST BY THE UNITED STATES WHICH SERVE ISRAELI INTERESTS…
HE IS THE TYPICAL “ISRAEL FIRST “NOT AMERICA FRONT MAN…THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY HE HATES TRUMP WHO IS
AMERICA FIRST…..You will find that ALL Neo Cons former PNAC Members REPUBLICANS & DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONE AGAINST TRUMP….FOR THAT VERY REASON … and they will do EVERYTHING to sabotage Trump no matter what he will do. INCLUDING infiltrating his team…

Wow? There won’t be any money for Brown to build a wall around CA.
TRUMP is welcome to Federal money that supports illegals, terrors, refugees, Welfare, Medicaid’, section,8 housing, sanctuary cities, anchor babies, fraud in foster care.
God Help Us.
Clearhead says
@ “Nellie” — Your comment makes very little grammatical sense, but what we THINK you are trying to post is that President Trump is an advocate for all the crap you posted — [ illegals, terrors, refugees, Welfare, Medicaid’, section,8 housing, sanctuary cities, anchor babies, fraud in foster care ] — We suggest that if that’s what you mean, you might do well to go back to 3rd grade next semester, and this time try to PASS this time !
Ms.Vickie T says
Pardon, but there are many people who post on this and other forums who are not good spellers, don’t know about sentence structure and don’t read what they have typed to eliminate errors, etc. I’m guessing that many are older and might never have even finished grade school for the need to work to support the family. I personally know people like this and they figured they could get along just fine as they weren’t planning on a writing career.
I would ask that you please show some patience and grace. I know that it’s sometimes difficult to understand what exactly they are trying to say. I believe that Nellie was doing her best to convey to us that President Elect Trump is welcome to keep the money that is now sent to states like California that are defying our laws and to use it for things that we truly need to take care of to rebuilt our country.
God’s sweetest blessings to you and yours! If you have been praying for our nation please continue to pray. We still have this time hurdle to survive until Mr. Trump and Gov. Pence take the oath of office and the work really begins.
JW says
Since immigration laws are under the purview of the federal government, any mayor who violates federal law should be arrested and jailed and all government money withheld from that city. We can correct many of our immigration issues by simply upholding the laws currently on our books!

I’m sure President Trump can hire people who will be able to figure out the best way to get these mayors to obey federal law. These sanctuary city mayors are good example of why the Democrat party continues to lose races around the nation. Most average citizens understand the need to enforce the law and the need to protect the safety of American citizens.

The silence in both automobile industry rate of repossessions and Real Estate Foreclosures is truly an “untold story.” Here are 10 of the worst foreclosure states in ALL America: From Credit.com Authored by Christine DiGangi.
1) Delaware = 1/680; 2) New Jersey=1/691; 3)Nevada= 1/897; 4)Illinois=1/946; 5)Florida=1/950; 6)Maryland=1/955; 7)South Carolina=1/1,045; 8)Utah=1/1,258; 9)Connecticut=1/1,290; 10)N.Mexico=1/1,324. There’s more…this is merely the TOP TEN, tip of the ice-berg. Democrats wonder why they lost the election…this is one answer (the main one). Second is transportation…a family car repossessed. Third, is sky-rocketing rental rates both apartments and storage units. Blaming Mr. Trump, rioting, carrying on by crying “victimization and racial divide” is smoke-screen for failed Obama Administration’s vaunted “redistribution of income”…a la “Keynesian Theory.” “The evil one is I… looking in a mirror.” Pray. Amen. God Bless America and ALL Americans. Read A Bible. NKJV Psalm 128.
Samuel Hay says
Th entire nation and our people will be much better off when these mayors break the law and are locked away. We had to endure these power hungry Democrats for eight years, not to mention the Bill Clinton era when he gave away all our jobs. Payback is hell. That is what comes from being more interested in your own agenda than what is best for our nation.

RAHM EMANUEL IS A BULLY WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT HE HAS TO SAY
Bobby says
Rahm Emanuel is part of the bastard mayors of America, they think they are more important than the people that
voted Trump in office. In reality no body cares what they think, they need to join the other atheist al Sharpton
and Jessie Jackson. If they don’t like America why don’t they all move to Iraq.
Yvonne Gardner says
That would b e a good place for the LIBERAL COMMUNIST retards TO MOVE TO iRAG AMID THE GUNFIRE , WHERE ONE OF THEM COULD BE SHOT. GOOD RIDDANCE OF BAD RUBBISH. The Clintons and the Bushes are gone, maybe Trump can get his feet in the ground the next 3 months( there is such a mess to clear up, that it will take time) but at least he is NOT a Communist trying to take away our liberties, our freedoms, our guns, our jobs, our religion. We are so excited we can say Merry Christmas once again. And Hillary—some Wash people have said that she is the MEANEST, ANTAGANISTIC, NARCISSIST, LOW BROW HUMAN BEING THEY HAVE EVER RUN INTO!!!! tHE POPULAR VOTES IN CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK AND MASS WHICH ARE THE LANDS OF THE FRUITS AND NUTS—BUT THE VOTERS WERE WAY FAR AHEAD IN THE RUST BELT AND ALL THE OTHER STATES WHICH HAD LESS ELECTORAL VOTES. PEOPLE HATE HER WITH A PASSION!! We love Mike Pence—such a nice man, along with Reince Preibus. Human beings we would call them.God Bless America—lets move on and let the Socialist,Commie students cry in their beer. They have been so radicalized by Professors, etc. Get those Professors out of our Universities. and George Soros!!!!!!

Gina M. Turkel says
This is so RIDICULOUS! These mayors are lawbreakers and, as such, should be thrown in jail IF and WHEN they decide to defy his immigration reform. They are getting paid to uphold the laws of the United States, and, if they don’t, they can go to jail or, at a minimum, impeached. In all sincerity, I doubt Mr. Trump would throw out the immigrants but, as he has said, just the ones with criminal backgrounds. He is probably going to suggest some kind of reform whereby law abiding immigrants can stay here but the criminals must go. I am a child of immigrants who came to this country legally. They didn’t want to break any of our laws. They went to night school to learn our language, got themselves jobs and worked hard to earn a living. They didn’t expect to be handed anything, unlike some of these illegals today. Yes, our country is made up of immigrants and I like the diversity it presents but they should be here LEGALLY!
Lisa says
Gina–
Trump didn’t say “just” the criminals. He said for now he wants the criminals out.
As for your comment that only “some” of the illegals today want handouts, I’d have to say that your statement is entirely incorrect. They are ALL here for handouts. The women especially. Many of the Central American women state that they wanted to come here and get a job for a “better” life. Now, realistically, WHO is going to hire someone with a third grade education? No one, and there is no better paying job here for no one with any skills other than baby-breeding. They receive thousands every month to feed their illegal brood and I’m sick and tired of paying for them.
The men? Well, they’re scamming in their own way. They work, pay NO taxes, then file an Earned Income Tax Credit for a refund for taxes they never paid! It’s unfair to US citizens and it all needs to stop!
I have an idea of why Trump is not making a statement about the others for now. I think he has a different plan in mind but needs to see if it will fly.

This all so unbelievable , he won lets get down to business if you think our Country is going to be so awful bad move who cares I don’t , you ate all making the ISIS very happy , and all others that hate us besides you because you all cry for the changes made what else is scaring you ?

If you think she can stop a war think again because to ,any countries that hate us and have missle’s that can hit us she didn’t help our people in Bengazie , and besides she is now well look at some of debates she wore an ear plug for answers to her that’s true and the SS surrounded her to try and hide them giving her a shot for her seizures ask how much her daughter makes in salary $690,000 a year and Hillary is getting her to buy a house near her in snooty village where the millonares live , she’ll probably run for President next time around , these top mares wonder what favors they receive to try doing this sneak job wonder what else they’ve for their cities ? besides wasting time doing dirty work unbelievable that’s all I can say your not even giving him a chance,how many chances have you done for others ?
S J says
Lots of good ideas ,I’m sure our new president will have lots of them from different advisors ,and find the ones that will work,meanwhile as his followers and as Christians we should all be praying for his protection and guidance from those that mean him harm and those that will try to discredit him in the following months.We have an awesome God who loves all mankind and wants them all saved,so pray for those who don’t know Him to be enlightened by His words ,truths and will,that their lives will be changed.
Ms.Vickie T says
Amen to that SJ! I’ve been praying for a long time for the lost souls of our country and the world. No, I don’t know who they all are, but God knows. He tells us to pray for our enemies in His word. He doesn’t want that any should perish, but to have everlasting life. I’m continuing on and praying for them…even Mrs. Clinton and our current POTUS, two of the most evil people in politics, though, unfortunately, there are many more. They seek to destroy us. I praise God and am thankful for answered prayers in His allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency of our land. We have been given a great gift, whether everyone realizes it or not. Let us never be complacent again. We must keep watch of what our representatives are doing. As many others have said, Please keep praying for the peace and safety of our ALL of our citizens. May we all seek God’s guidance and follow His directions for our lives. Blessings to all!!
Leonard Collings says
No Federal money for any sancutiary city. Infact if cities do not reduce the crime rate they should get no funds.
Carolyn Reilly says
In 1969 a federal law was passed against sanctuary cities. This is an emotional issue that masks the fact that the drug dealers would probably have problems entering the US legally. A recently aired documentary, on the city of Portland, showed the terrible heroin problem that is destroying that City. The documentary indicated that the Sinaloa cartel has this city under their control. The city of Chicago has a long history of bribery and control by mobs and gangs. The murder rate of innocent people is what undid Al Capone’ s total control of cops and elected officials in Chicago,. A movie about the rise and fall of Harlem drug dealer, Frank Lucas, indicated that when he was arrested, during the time of the Viet Nam war, he turned over the names of cops from New York who were on his payroll and 75% of the narcotics cops were indicted..Capone, Lucas and other criminals were eventually taken down by the FBI with a follow-up by IRS. The RICCO Act permits the federal government to seize real and personal property from convicted felons; Maybe it is time for the FBI to enter the cities that are clinging to Sanctuary City status and see what is hiding behind the curtain. The idea of holding up federal money would just paint Trump as a bad guy. The mayor of Chicago will probably be voted out. He worked for Obama and he won’t enforce law and order.
larry Bee says
Well my friends, the Leave it to Beaver days … are gone! Sorry but I can hardly see any of the ” good old days ” when people respected other people and property. I hope Trump sends these Mayor’s to prison for not honoring the job they were elected to uphold when they took office. What a world we live in. Trump was so right on so many things. In Trump We Trust, or there will be no USA as we once knew it.
Woodlands60 says
Maybe those in the sanctuary cities that oppose being a sanctuary city should have a ‘cry in’ like the babies complaining about the election. That sure seems to fuel the liberal news. Oh wait. That wouldn’t receive news coverage. It doesn’t fit most of the liberal ‘news’ political view! Sorry folks that live in the sanctuary cities. Your votes and viewpoints eventually do not count. So much for the mayors that should represent the people and their safety.
jean potts says
When are we finally going to get rid of the LAW BREAKERS in office who are blatantly allowing the breaking of our laws…. Spitting on our laws has been in fashion for 8 years.. The powerful MONEY who supports this; having their own little secret meetings to undermine, not only our country, but our election process is totally out of hand.. These elite in office- who ignore us citizens and our safety and our borders and our rule of law need a comeuppance -NOW — Obama worrying about ‘crude nationalism”??? Talk about crude. The new ‘crude’ behavior in our elected officials and their love for crude lyrics from rap groups and their vile signs opposing Trump…… Look at the source of the discord and you will find Soros, Obama, Van Jones, Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder… — and Al Sharpton..
Traveler says
Arrest and prosecute these mayors and the problem will go away. Pick the most flagrant and easily convictable transgressor ‘mayor’. Fast-track the process and trial and get he (or she I suppose) in prison as quickly as possible. When the other radicals see this they will have to abandon their position. The liberal (actually radical NWO) press will howl the whole time so make the example quickly and decisively. If they force delays or challenges start doing it to another illegal sanctuary city IMMEDIATELY, we have to overwhelm the radical resistance; It’s illegal anyway though you will probably see spin as bad as any we’ve ever seen. Expect violence from the lawbreakers and put it down firmly…
ed keenan says
JUST CUT OFF THW EXTa $$$$$$ TO THESE HYPOCRITE MAYORS………THEY CRITICIZED TRUMP WHEN HE SAID THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF HE EXCEPT THE RESULTS……..NOW THAT TRUMP WON THEY ARE PLAYING THE FOOLS PART……..DAMN THEM

Mr. Chicago you are an asshole for going against the majority. Shape up asshole.
Bula says
Send all and entire illegals back asap Trump you have made from majority people of this country and he promised this voters so Trump has to meet his promise. Mayor and cities no mandate than people iof this country gave to Trump. Stop all FED funding and entire mayors should resign to support illegal immigrants.
Jan says
These moronic protesters along with Soros and the likes are protected under the 1st amendment for “Peaceful” protest. But when the crime starts it becomes a riot and a felony which is not protected and the protest should be shut down…even if it’s only a few thugs causing it. The National Guard should be called in, the protest stopped, and arrest made. Soros is on borrowed time. His day is coming.
El Tejas says
Being a Mayor or any other public official does not make one exempt from the law. The President has an obligation to enforce all federal laws and to use the necessary resources to do so. The President does not have the prerogative to pick and choose which laws to enforce. If a federal law is unjust or outdated it is up to Congress repeal, change, or modify as needed. Do the citizens of these cities and towns really want criminals released back into the general population?
Barbara Olarte says
I was shocked to learn just about every state in the US houses sanctuary cities costing millions of dollars of American tax dollars handing out welfare money, food stamps, free housing, free medical through medicaid , free cell phones, and free computers this is a slap to all working men & women in this country. This has to stop while we working Americans have health care rise not to mention no pay raises and a lot of us losing our jobs.
Ron says
This country is all for people coming in this country LEGALLY and a certain amount can become American Citizens when they follow the legal path but this country is a Nation of Laws and it is a sovereign nation that must protect its borders and keep illegals out of this country. This is not an original idea, it is what ALL nations do and it is necessary in order to have a civilized country not to be taking over by the undesirables of other counties. One of the major responsibilities of government is to protect the borders but too many politicians are more interested in being popular so they can keep their job and they put the welfare of this country on the back burner. The country doesn’t come first, it is their career that is more important. President Elect Trump campaigned on America First, Secure Borders, Rule of Law and Honorable elected officials. None of these issues were important to the Left and as a result they lost the election by a need of the people for all of these issues. May God bless this Nation and may God bless President Elect Donald Trump.
Lois Wenk says
Radical idea for immigration reform, legal citizens sponsor person and if person tries to get money form government they both are deported. If person breaks law both deported and both not citizen nor allowed to gain citizen status.
Presela Anne Seago says
Rahm Emmanuel is an idiot. Here we have the mayor of one of our BIGGEST CITIES—-and worst areas of crime—–go on national TV, put his corrupt thumb in the “up” position, and tell America that Chicago is ALWAYS going to be a “sanctuary city.” So in other words, Chicago is going to continue BREAKING THE LAW, going against Federal mandates, while the leftist propaganda media puts its leaders up on a pedestal. Can I say “Twilight Zone?” Basically, the thing I am MOST TIRED OF is this perception by the left that it is PERFECTLY OKAY to break the law. Apparently to these soulless people it is even something to be celebrated. And what about all of us who are GOOD LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS, DON’T BREAK THE LAW, and then get treated like WE are the ones who are wrong? It is all backwards.
Sadly, when OUR NEW PRESIDENT-ELECT is sworn in, and then begins to uphold the law as it pertains to these cities, I can only imagine the outcry and the protesting that will be initiated by the left. There will likely be more rioting, more resistance, and probably bloodshed. The “revolution” that has started in our country really has only just begun. WE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF JUSTICE, the LAW, and GOD, need to be victorious. Because WE are NOT the ones who are wrong.
How interesting that our “president,” Barack Obama, is from Chicago. (At least supposedly). Wonder what he thinks of the fact that the National Guard should have been called into Chicago LONG AGO, in order to restore law and order. But of course, he is too busy giving speeches to try and convince himself, and America, that he has been a “good president.” BEYOND PATHETIC. Talk about DENIAL.
GO TRUMP. GO PENCE. GO to the REAL AMERICA. Can’t wait until PRESIDENT Trump cuts off the Federal Funding to all those communities who do not obey the laws of our nation.
SgtYork says
These cities mayors and the fools who put them there want to remember this it’s not Trump it’s we the American Voters their screw in with. They might still thin the dick Ovomit the Muslim America hater is still their dictator but they are WRONG. THEY start a big stupid push for sanctuary cities to remain against the law their MONEY will be SHUT OFF. We have spoken thru our votes and Chicago and NYC as well as those in the NW will comply or go broke and those living there won’t be happy either the Ovomit,Soros,Rohm and ace the fool in NYC. WE NOW Run America into the Greatest Again not the Third World Country Ovomit wanted us to become.
Politically incorrect says
With these Mayors denouncing Law and Order and willing to protect the illegal criminals by all means Trump should stop all Federal funding to these cities and states. CA is already bankrupt to begin with because of the democrats running that state.
Trump needs to send a long hard example as of right now he is not going after illegals that are law abiding and working, he is only planning on concentrating on those that are committing serious crimes and drug dealers and if the mayors choose to not uphold law and order they are just showing that they do not care about the safety and security and is the reason these cities are the way they are.
Democrats do not want this because by giving ID’s to illegals (as with San Fran) for the purpose of welfare and disability these people will vote democrat and dems are the popular party and this will make it very hard for any party to will other then democrats because of illegals and no voter ID.
Last I knew illegals should not be entitled to welfare or disability and should not be under the constitution and if anything should fall under a completely different set of laws which the gov’t should come out with. Our tax dollars should in no way shape or form be used to help any illegals. The illegals that did vote for Trump did so because they used the proper system to get into this country.
debdell says
I think you meant the “legals that voted for Trump”.
To shield criminals and allow them to roam in the public is a criminal act. Doing that for votes is even worse.
SANDY says
THAT WILL CHANGE WHEN MAYORS ARE STRIPPED OF THEIR FUNDING
Richard says
If they don’t want to comply with the requests then I guess they’ll have to be recalled from the mayor and governor, police chiefs etc etc.
country boy says
remove the illegals with the noncompliant mayors , officials and others . utilize full force and might ., live ammunition and the attack dogs . can they dig it?
AW says
So much for mayors. DiBlasio, working real hard to destroy New York City…….the only reason its not destroyed already is because HE IS ALWAYS LATE. It took him months to move into Gracie Mansion……He tried to get rid of the carriage horses disguised as animal cruelty, but really after the real estate. And he’s already campaigning for re-election….HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA.
As for San Francisco, its already gone.
A bunch of losers, refusing a life line……Duh!
Stephen Russell says
Defund those cities then C how long they lost without US $$$$.
Choose Mayors, have Trump Defund cities. Your call.
Andrww Silvestri says
Impeach anti mayors and governors for santuary cities tired these crap
debdell says
This does not seem like a major problem to overcome. Withhold all money from the most aggressive sanctuary city, such as San Francisco, and let the state go crazy for however long it takes for the courts to figure it out. Meanwhile, at any time the city decides to drop the sanctuary status, the gov can give the city the aid again. This illegal immigration is bad enough, but to have politicians obstructing the law and intentionally saying FU to what it right and just for everyone is not ok and deserves a massive slap in the face. We want the illegal criminals gone and those that aid those criminals are also criminals.
Robert Taylor says
To all who want to look these up and send your letters to the elected officials and demand something be done.
Harboring means any conduct that tends to substantially facilitate an alien to remain in the U.S. illegally. This could also fall into some parts of the RICO act. The act of being illegal falls into the misdemeanor laws but the act of HARBORING becomes a felony for each incident. Although the current AG will not do anything to the Mayors it is still a felony they are committing

Elected officials who do not adhere to federal law should face criminal charges. Contrast this with Obama’s unjust legal harrassment of Sheriff Joe of Maricooa County, AZ. Seems to me there are quite a few Democrats who just plain suck (and a few Repubs as well).

What makes these flaming liberals think they can defy the Federal laws??? Do they really think they are that much better than the rest of us??? Illegal is Illegal and illegal aliens have already committed a crime sneaking into this country. The non-compliant mayors should be impeached just for making the statements they have made. This is a country of laws…..they are trying but they can’t change that!! We can vote!!!
