I have just one question for the poor lady in the photo above: Did you vote for Joe Biden?
“The worst of the worst are going to go to sanctuary cities where they can still get all the free hand outs and they are protected by law enforcement. What I mean by that is: they can commit a crime, get booked in Riker’s Island, like in New York, and ICE is not allowed to set foot in Riker’s Island, and NYPD can’t cooperate with ICE. Like the aliens who walked out of jail the other day, ICE should have been there, they should have contacted ICE, ICE would have locked them up rather than getting on a bus and disappearing, ICE would have locked them up and put no bond on them because they violated their terms of release (from border patrol). That is the downside of sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. That’s all they are. And its going to cause a massive criminal spike in all these cities, its already started and its going to continue.” Tom Homan, Trump’s head of ICE, February 16, 2024.
Homan went on to explain that Biden’s border patrol is mandated to “process quick, release quick.” Last year, over 80,000 illegals who were released into the country were convicted criminals already, over 100 of those were convicted murderers (in their own countries).
QUESTION TO SANCTUARY RESIDENTS: DID YOU VOTE FOR THIS?
As we watch the residents, local elected officials, and law enforcement whine, moan & complain about the rise in crime caused by illegal, unvetted, aliens, do not feel sorry for them. They are “enjoying” the results of being a sanctuary city or state in the Era of Biden. Did they vote for and/or support their sanctuary status? Did they vote for Biden in 2020? If they answer “yes” to both questions, they are, indeed, getting exactly what they asked for. Taxpayers in other jurisdictions should not be forced to bail them out.
Eleven states claim they love foreign nationals who entered the US illegally so much they are willing to shelter them, support them, and protect them from law enforcement & the consequences of their actions. These states are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
With their hair on fire over the advent of an America-First administration in January 2017, some states became sanctuary states soon after President Trump took office. Others have been sanctuaries for illegals for decades.
Kate Brown, Oregon’s Marxist governor, and my law school classmate, who expected a cabinet position in Queen Hillary’s administration, rushed out to declare Oregon to be a sanctuary state. In reality, Oregon has officially been sheltering illegals since 1987 and boasts they were the first state to do so. More virtue signaling by a Democrat to let everyone know how much she hates President Trump? I am shocked!
New York State* officially announced that they would aid & abet illegal aliens’ law breaking just days after Trump took office because he said he would enforce immigration laws as required of all presidents by the US Constitution. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, signed sanctuary legislation on February 6, 2017, before Trump’s inaugural decorations had even been returned to storage. Have your ever known a state legislature to move that fast to protect Americans?
On February 23, 2017 Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat, signed an executive order granting illegals in his state sanctuary and prohibiting law enforcement from cooperating with ICE. On May 23, 2019, he signed legislation from Washington State’s Democrat Legislature granting “super citizen” status to foreign nationals residing illegally in the his state.
In July 2017 the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court unanimously ruled that commonwealth law enforcement officers are not permitted to comply with ICE detainers which, effectively, made Massachusetts a sanctuary state. This mandate came down without a vote of citizens, nor a vote by their elected legislators.
Chicago became a sanctuary city in 1985 and the State of Illinois signed onto this lawlessness on August 28, 2017, during President Trump’s first year in office.
Are you noticing a pattern here?
DESTROYING AMERICA
A March 2023 study by the Federation of American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found that, after accounting for taxes paid by illegal aliens, they cost American taxpayers over $150 billion per year. This is a 30% increase over 2017. With the additional 5 million who entered in 2023 alone, the cost has spiraled out of control. Is this the “great society” that LBJ promised us, and is overtaxing us for? So long as one American is homeless and/or eating on charity, not one illegal alien should be housed and/or fed on taxpayer money.
A welfare country with open borders is a dying country.
Where Is The "Great Society" LBJ Promised Us?
Last week I invited a volunteer from Peninsula Poverty Response to attend our Peninsula Patriots* meeting to explain his group’s work. I wish I had not learned about the depressing “lifestyles” he described to us. Too many Americans in our little coastal community are living in Third World poverty. He advised us, just blocks from the library where we…
They wallow, but we all are paying for it!
Yup. Like women whining that there’s no privacy in locker rooms and getting concussed on the playing field in collisions with much larger, stronger, more aggressive men: did you vote D? Sucks to be stupid.
