One of America’s biggest metropolitan areas has submitted to President Trump’s call for an end “sanctuary cities” — as the Mayor of Miami-Dade County has ordered his jails to comply with requests from federal immigration officials, according to a report.

Mayor Carlos Gimenez said he made the move for fear of Trump’s executive order threatening to cut funds to “sanctuary cities,” according to the Miami Herald.

“In light of the provisions of the Executive Order, I direct you and your staff to honor all immigration detainer requests received from the Department of Homeland Security,” Gimenez wrote to one of his top jail executives, the report said.

The Florida county — which a population of 2.9 million — has never officially called itself a “sanctuary city,” though they have in the past followed policies similar to such cities as they have refused federal immigration requests to hold certain inmates in its jails.

Gimenez is a Republican who attended Trump’s inauguration, but who said he voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

We live in a crazy world when it takes a threat from the federal government to force state governors to tell local Sheriffs and jail keepers to comply with existing federal immigration laws.

Actually, if Trump is successful in convincing most to end sanctuary city policies, that will put a LOT of pressure on the remaining hold outs to cave.

They will all cave eventually. Half won't even wait for the final day (whenever that may be) to declassify themselves as sanctuary.

The best part though is word is out we now have a President that is tough on immigration. That alone will give some second thoughts about coming here and breaking our laws. It's in contrast to the Welcome Mat DumBama had on our borders.

Fearing a loss of millions of dollars for defying immigration authorities, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez on Thursday ordered county jails to comply with federal immigration detention requests — effectively gutting the county’s position as a “sanctuary” for immigrants in the country illegally.

Denver, Aurora at risk for Trump action against so-called “sanctuary” cities
Denver
“We’re not a sanctuary city. We will value residents in this city. We won’t take any unlawful or unconstitutional acts against residents of the city of Denver. It is our goal to make sure people in the city feel safe and know that this is a city that’s open, welcoming and inclusive.”
Mayor Michael Hancock

Boulder
“We are not going to violate immigrants’ constitutional rights just because the new president wants us to. And we stand behind our ordinance.”
Mayor Suzanne Jones

New York City
“We’re going to defend all of our people regardless of where they come from, regardless of their immigration status.”
Mayor Bill de Blasio

Chicago
“I want to be clear: We’re going to stay a sanctuary city. There is no stranger among us. Whether you’re from Poland or Pakistan, whether you’re from Ireland or India or Israel and whether you’re from Mexico or Moldova, where my grandfather came from, you are welcome in Chicago as you pursue the American dream.”
Mayor Rahm Emanuel

Bay Area California
“We will not give in to threats, or political grandstanding. Together, the Bay Area will stay true to our values of inclusiveness, compassion and equality, and united against any and all efforts to divide our residents, our cities, and our country.”
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, in a statement in coordination with San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf.

Boston
“To anyone who feels threatened today, or vulnerable, you are safe in Boston. We will do everything lawful in our powerful to protect you. If necessary, we will use City Hall itself to shelter and protect anyone who’s targeted unjustly.”
Mayor Martin J. Walsh

Seattle
“This city will not be bullied by this administration. We believe we have the rule of law and the courts on our side.”
Mayor Ed Murray

Los Angeles
“What we don’t do is ask local police officers to enforce federal immigration laws — and that’s an official LAPD policy that has been enforced for nearly 40 years. That is for everyone’s good, because trust between police and the people they serve is absolutely essential to effective law enforcement.”
Mayor Eric Garcetti

Be prepared to be sued every time one of your sanctifieds kills someone in a neighboring state or anywhere, for that matter. Unless you forbid them to leave your state, you are putting all of us at risk.

I'm totally fine with that. Make a stand. But if you don't want to enforce federal law, you don't get any federal money. And when your community is financially strapped, don't blame Trump...blame the local leaders that put illegal aliens above their own citizens. Or raise taxes and pay your own way...equally fine.

But when Chicago and LA come hat in hand to bail out their unfunded liabilities, it's us that will be saying "go fuck yourself".

Yep, kick all the illegals out, then pay ten times as much for produce at the supermarkets. When you can find that produce. What we need to do is have a look at what we need to do to keep the agriculture production up, and at the same time, give the best of the workers a chance at becoming American Citizens.
