    Krauthammer’s Take: Democrats Defying Trump on Sanctuary Cities Is a ‘Mistaken Bet’

    Krauthammer’s Take: Democrats Defying Trump on Sanctuary Cities Is a ‘Mistaken Bet’

    November 16, 2016 7:38 PM



    Charles Krauthammer identified the issue of sanctuary cities as a scandal, even before Donald Trump took issue with them, and he said that Democrats would be foolish to defy federal authority to defend them: Sanctuary cities were a scandal before Trump. It’s in defiance of federal authority. Federal authority is legitimate.

    The people who did this in the past were the racists in the south who defied federal authority on civil rights, so now it’s in the name of something that appears to be humanitarian. It’s something that should not be allowed. The Democrats have tolerated it, and I think Trump would be within his rights to withhold funds, and he should. And the Democrats are making a big bet, and a mistaken one, if they decide they’re going to defy the federal government and what seems to be common sense: Control your borders.

    He will withhold Federal funding as these cities are the reason that so many Americans have been killed by illegal aliens that should not even be here. He showed great compassion for those families who have had their loved ones killed by illegal aliens and I am sure he will not go back on his word to get rid of Sanctuary Cities in America.

    What would with holding federal funds from sanctuary cities look like? Last I looked, this included public assistance programs for food and housing. Poor citizens are likely to be held hostage against punishing sanctuary cities by with holding federal funds. These cities are not going to boot illegals off of public assistance in response to such a threat.

    What else could go?

    Yeah, it's a bit of an idle threat, but still a threat, so they should keep saying it, at least keep 'em worried, while you get in there, round 'em up and get them out of the country. They have to be removed from the country, there's no way our country can function properly with them here. They gotta go.

    I agree. But the issue is cities established in some legal sense as "sanctuaries" for illegal immigrants. We've also seen some law enforcement say they will not enforce laws regarding illegal immigration. If withdrawing federal funding isn't really on the agenda, he needs some other leverage to make these cities enforce laws against illegal immigration.

    Federal authorities can enter these cities and remove them, with or without the help of these cities. The cities can't prevent their removal, they're just saying we're not helping you. If they try to stop federal authorities, then federal troops will enter the city to remove the illegals and maintain or restore order.

    The city's general fund gets $30 million in federal aid but tens of millions more flow to the city through grants directed at human services, police, housing and other agencies.

    Now I want someone to tell me that these politicians aren't on the take with the drug cartels. These mayors are on the verge of starting a violent civil war in their cities over illegal aliens, now please tell me that these people aren't on the take with the drug cartels behind illegal immigration. These goons are all bought and sold by the drug cartels, no one in their right mind would create a sanctuary city for illegal aliens unless they were in so deep with the cartels their lives were at stake. When you do business with the cartels you don't get to just "walk away", oh no, they own you, and every one of these mayors defying federal law is on the take with the cartels and owned by them, lock, stock and barrel.

    You can't walk down the streets of San Francisco without stepping over homeless Americans living on the streets in tents, but the Mayor of San Francisco wants to start a civil war with the federal government over illegal aliens? Really? No. This has nothing to do with illegal aliens, this is about politicians bought and sold by the drug cartels that control their cities.

    Can't the city and/or state officials responsible for defying federal law be prosecuted?

    They can when they violate a federal law, and aiding, abetting and harboring illegal aliens is a direct violation of several provisions of US Immigration Law. Obama won't do anything, but I'm sure Trump will. Their day in the sun will soon be brought to an end which will trigger all types of investigations that reveal how much they were paid to do this.
