Flooding the Sanctuary Zones
Flooding the Sanctuary Zones
Apr 1, 2019 ~ By Cal Thomas
In the category of Mad magazine's "scenes we'd like to see," comes President Trump's threat to transport migrants to cities and states that have declared themselves sanctuaries. Apparently he thinks such a move would force Democrats in Congress who represent these places to vote to fund the wall along our southern border.... Wealthy members of Congress might take offense should immigrants move into their neighborhoods. They don't seem to care about the harm caused to ranchers and other property owners in states along the southern border.
Legal experts say it would be illegal under current law to move people to sanctuary cities and states. This crosses the border of ridiculousness. Some governors and mayors are protecting those who enter the country illegally from the law. If they were protecting other lawbreakers -- drug dealers, or murderers, for example (which the president argues they are) -- the law would consider them accessories after the fact and they would face prosecution and prison time. But because politicians refuse to update laws that are full of loopholes the current problem is their doing....
Today's sanctuary cities and states have nothing to do with their original intent or outcome. Those living in this country without legal permission have broken the law, but are simultaneously protected by the law. Does this make sense? Name other laws American citizens could break and not be held accountable. Try breaking the tax laws this week and see where that gets you.... Those who support sanctuary cities ought to experience the consequences of that support in their own front and backyards.

Cal Thomas writes an excellent Op-Ed on Sanctuary Cities.
Meanwhile, these "legal experts" believe there is a law that protects "sanctuary cities" from having illegal aliens sent to them, even though they offer them "sanctuary", but does NOT protect all the small towns in rural America that president present sent illegal aliens to? Typical Progressive Marxist Socialist logic. They think they can say Yes and No at the same time...
What the President has so brilliantly accomplished with his threat to expose and force the those falsely spouting sanctuary to own their hypocrisy.
It seems unlikely that he will actually do this. The inevitable crime rate explosion would be blamed squarely on the President. Irrational, of course; but, politically, not a great look.
Obama moved large numbers of people from Somalia to Minnesota because he thought the state was "too white." So, why can't Trump move illegals to cities that actually claim to want them?
Even Cher shows the fear of the typical Liberal NIMBY.
