    Havent read this thread but giving the illegals to sanctuary cities is a genius idea.  Border towns are shitholes, spread the gift to all the places that have been begging for them.  
    Why wouldn’t they want to all be sent to sanctuary cities?  They seem more accommodating...then we can build a wall around the sanctuary cities, lol

    Does that mean that all the sanctuary cities can retain all the tax revenue generated in their cities?  I know that here in Louisville, KY we'd love to keep our money for our local citizens rather than sending it out to the rest of the state that drains all our tax dollars all the while bitching about what happens here.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    Yes, as long as it means you use no state or federal tax dollars in your city :)

    Deal.  Louisville alone generates about 70% of all revenue for the ENTIRE state so I'd say the rest of the state is screwed.  You're ok with that, right?

    Sending them to sanctuary cities should show how dumb Trump is.  Those cities are crawling with lawyers who will be willing to take up their cases...

    I’m more than fine with that, but then again, I really don’t give a shit about KY, lol. KY does produce some good bourbon and fried chicken, though...and lube...or is that a different “KY”?

    Exactly, they obviously have the resources (lawyers), so let them give them the assistance they need to become legal citizens.  Instead of sanctuary cities, they could be called “Immigrant Processing Hubs”.  Why would they want to go anywhere else?

    They want them if the feds are picking up the tab.  I imagine if Trump just drops them off, the cities have to pick up the tab...that is likely Trumps thought process.

    In my opinion, they should be processed quickly at processing stations at the border.  The asylum seekers that come through the door who are rejected should be allowed to apply again at some point...if you come in illegally then you should be banned from ever applying again.

    Now I do not know the standards the US uses in there refugee/asylum process...now I have read that you get rejected in Canada if you are an economic migrant/refugee/asylum/illegal seeker...now whether that really happens who knows, and over 90% are rejected and Canda just brought a judge out of retirement to help process claims and he is well known in his rejection of these claims.

    He is nicknamed Dr. No

    Man nicknamed ‘Dr. No’ because he denied so many refugees, rehired to decide asylum claims

    LOL.  I think most of the refugees are coming up from the US, that is why most are rejected...they were in a safe country at that point.  

    Maybe we should build a wall.  LOL

    Bring them on. Give them a chance to become citizens. Stop living in fear.

    President Trump said his administration is strongly considering placing "illegal immigrants" in sanctuary cities on Friday, marking an increase in the extremity of his immigration ideas.

    Be smart: Senior White House officials and immigration lawyers have told Axios that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would not have enough funds for this and there would be major liabilities if anyone got hurt while being transferred. Regardless, Democratic mayors have said their cities would welcome migrants immigrants if Trump's idea came to fruition.

    Show less

    What they're saying:

    Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney: “The city would be prepared to welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for decades."
    Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: “As a welcoming city, we would welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees, just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar."
    Mayor Marc McGovern of Cambridge, Massachusetts: “I am proud that Cambridge is a sanctuary city. ... Trump is a schoolyard bully who tries to intimidate and threaten people. I’m not intimidated and if asylum seekers find their way to Cambridge, we’ll welcome them.”
    San Francisco Mayor London Breed: “Like so many issues we are forced to talk about during this presidency, this isn’t a real idea or a real proposal, it’s just another scare tactic."
    Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler: “Humans are not pawns. This is not a game. These are people’s lives ... Portland will continue to protect its sanctuary status in accordance with Oregon law and the U.S. Constitution. We strongly denounce the cruel efforts of this administration to retaliate against sanctuary cities.”
    Mayor Daniel Drew of Middletown, Connecticut: “It’s a sign of the president’s tremendous weakness as an executive and weakness as a leader, and of the degree to which he pales in comparison to all of his recent predecessors."
    New York Mayor Bill de Blasio: “He uses people like pawns ... New York City will always be the ultimate city of immigrants – the President’s empty threats won’t change that.”
    Mayor Steven Hernandez of Coachella, California: “We have already been working alongside partners to ensure that recently arrived families, women and children get the services they need to make their successful transition into America."

    Havent read this thread but giving the illegals to sanctuary cities is a genius idea.  Border towns are shitholes, spread the gift to all the places that have been begging for them.  
    Why wouldn’t they want to all be sent to sanctuary cities?  They seem more accommodating...then we can build a wall around the sanctuary cities, lol
    Does that mean that all the sanctuary cities can retain all the tax revenue generated in their cities?  I know that here in Louisville, KY we'd love to keep our money for our local citizens rather than sending it out to the rest of the state that drains all our tax dollars all the while bitching about what happens here.
    Yes, as long as it means you use no state or federal tax dollars in your city :)
    Deal.  Louisville alone generates about 70% of all revenue for the ENTIRE state so I'd say the rest of the state is screwed.  You're ok with that, right?

    I’m more than fine with that, but then again, I really don’t give a shit about KY, lol. KY does produce some good bourbon and fried chicken, though...and lube...or is that a different “KY”?
    Maybe we should apply this to every sanctuary city and their corresponding state.  My comment may be about KY but you can apply similar logic to all the other sanctuary cities throughout the US and the corresponding revenue that would be generated.  I'm more than happy to host migrants here and I'll give up the citizens of the rest of my state and they can be taken care of by others just like them.  But then again, its generally the 'libtard' cities that are taking care of the rest of 'real' America.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I AM MINE

    Bring them on. Give them a chance to become citizens. Stop living in fear.

    President Trump said his administration is strongly considering placing "illegal immigrants" in sanctuary cities on Friday, marking an increase in the extremity of his immigration ideas.

    Be smart: Senior White House officials and immigration lawyers have told Axios that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would not have enough funds for this and there would be major liabilities if anyone got hurt while being transferred. Regardless, Democratic mayors have said their cities would welcome migrants immigrants if Trump's idea came to fruition.

    What they're saying:

    Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney: “The city would be prepared to welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for decades."
    Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: “As a welcoming city, we would welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees, just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar."
    Mayor Marc McGovern of Cambridge, Massachusetts: “I am proud that Cambridge is a sanctuary city. ... Trump is a schoolyard bully who tries to intimidate and threaten people. I’m not intimidated and if asylum seekers find their way to Cambridge, we’ll welcome them.”
    San Francisco Mayor London Breed: “Like so many issues we are forced to talk about during this presidency, this isn’t a real idea or a real proposal, it’s just another scare tactic."
    Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler: “Humans are not pawns. This is not a game. These are people’s lives ... Portland will continue to protect its sanctuary status in accordance with Oregon law and the U.S. Constitution. We strongly denounce the cruel efforts of this administration to retaliate against sanctuary cities.”
    Mayor Daniel Drew of Middletown, Connecticut: “It’s a sign of the president’s tremendous weakness as an executive and weakness as a leader, and of the degree to which he pales in comparison to all of his recent predecessors."
    New York Mayor Bill de Blasio: “He uses people like pawns ... New York City will always be the ultimate city of immigrants – the President’s empty threats won’t change that.”
    Mayor Steven Hernandez of Coachella, California: “We have already been working alongside partners to ensure that recently arrived families, women and children get the services they need to make their successful transition into America."

    Oh no, look at all those liberals saying they don’t want immigrants in their sanctuary cities! 

    I would like to think that everyone here would agree it isn’t right to move people around like pawns simply to financially punish municipal governments you disagree with, but I guess not.

    Sounds like the plan has bipartisan support (with a smidge of reluctance) even in the state that you hate!  I’m sure the tax paying people of these cities will be more than accommodating, especially since they cannot even handle the rising homeless populations and rising costs of living.  At least the mayors are pleasing their constituents!  I’m positive they will face no opposition come election time.

    It’s funny to read how the anti immigrants here can’t fathom that there are cities that would take these humans and just treat them like humans , unlike what this administration is doing treating them like dogs !
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    Who here is anti-immigrant?  Immigrants are wonderful and add so much to society...especially the ones that do it legally.  I think everyone here is pro-legal immigration.  Enough with the labels Jose.
