Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas didn’t hold back Friday as he condemned sanctuary cities for their dangerous refusal to follow federal immigration laws.

While on “Fox & Friends,” the Texas governor reacted to the recent bombshell that a previously deported illegal alien, who is in prison for raping a child after the city of Philadelphia ignored the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer request, pleaded guilty to illegally re-entering the United States.

“What’s going on in Philadelphia is like an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ story where its topsy-turvy where the mayor is blaming ICE or the federal government for trying to enforce the laws for being the cause of this rape,” Abbott said. “That is insanity!”

(believe this is the video, had to search on youtube)


“It is these sanctuary city policies that both attract and allow in people who commit these heinous crimes — just exactly what happened to Kate Steinle in San Francisco — what happened in Philadelphia is not the only story like this,” Abbott continued.

Texas has been on the forefront of the fight against sanctuary cities, a matter which Abbott has been vocal about.

“Sanctuary cities are banned in the state of Texas. I think Texas is either the first or maybe the only state in the United States that passed a law banning sanctuary cities,” the Texas governor replied when asked how many sanctuary cities were in Texas.

Texas passed Senate Bill 4 in November 2016, effectively banning sanctuary cities. It was signed by Abbott six months later.

Did the Philly Mayor do his "happy dance" when he was made aware of this rape by an ILLEGAL ALIEN?

Did he face his wife and children, grand-children and say "gee" look at my great accomplishment allowing SANCTUARY to criminal trespassing illegal aliens.

You must be real PROUD of yourself...YOU are just as complicit in this crime as and the criminal himself!

A real feather in your cap! Disgusting!

As a born Texan now living in N.C., I have a lot of respect for Gov. Abbott and his Attorney General, Ken Paxton, for what they're doing to combat the illegal immigration problem in the state of Texas.

Section 1324 of title 8 of the US code makes it a federal felony to encourage illegals to live in america and all these sanctuary city officials are clearly guilty as is obama for DACA. Why doesn't trump prosecute them.?

Good question. It baffles me as well.
