Emanuel Tells Undocumented Immigrants Chicago ‘Always Will Be A Sanctuary*City’

[Vyxn]

CHICAGO (CBS) — Even as President-elect Donald Trump vows to immediately deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants when he takes office in January, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is reaffirming Chicago’s commitment as a so-called “sanctuary city.”
“To be clear about what Chicago is, it always will be a sanctuary city,” the mayor said Monday.
Emanuel sought to reassure those worried about Trump’s interview on “60 Minutes,” in which he said he plans to immediately deport or incarcerate up to 3 million undocumented immigrants who have criminal records.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl. “But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”
Trump also has promised to block federal funding for sanctuary cities like Chicago

Lurie Children’s Hospital CEO Patrick Magoon called Trump’s vow a public health crisis, and said undocumented immigrants and their relatives have been making calls to suicide hotlines since the election.
“Calls, which have increased by 200 percent at the state level and 250 percent at the national level,” he said.
Congressman Luis Gutierrez said if Trump revokes President Barack Obama’s executive order shielding more than a million children of undocumented immigrants from deportation, the president-elect would be declaring war on the immigrant community.

Just think of all the tax money we will save when federal funding will be pulled from these so called sanctuary cities for their refusal to cooperate and follow federal law

Well done on Chicago. NYC and cities in NJ have done the same. And more cities should do the same.

Why should they harbor criminals?

[Machismo]

Most major cities rely heavily on illegal aliens. It would appear that the mayor of Chicago is actually managing to embrace freedom for a change.

They don't have to harbor anyone, they can simply choose to not search them out.

I didn't know mayors could just establish their own city-states. If Rahm really wants to do this, why doesn't he just abolish all gun laws and let his citizens arm themselves with rocket launchers and machine guns, then he could just straight up secede.

Rahm Emanuel - just another piece of shit that belongs to Obama.

Because they can. Freedom of choice. That is the beauty of America. Let freedom ring.

It goes much deeper than that. They openly defy Federal law, not just ignore it. They don't even report data to the Feds that they themselves have, for example. If the actions of sanctuary cities were done by individuals, it would be obstruction of justice defined.

Many people do. Rural county sheriffs do it all the time in regards to gun-control laws. Freedom is awesome.

This is hilarious! Chicago is a sanctuary city for no one, not even it's own citizens...... How many murders have there been this year? Last year? Some sanctuary.......

[Super Kami Dende]

It's Chicago. It's already a wasteland full of shit and welfare recipients. Being full of illegals is just a logical tangent.

Nobody said that. Also, if stuff like that truly makes you laugh that hard, you have a career in comedy club crowd filler you are missing out on.

[Trump]

Because they can. Freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice = ignoring Federal Law? WTF?

Hopefully Trump starts his mass deportations in the "sanctuary" cities and he jails assholes like Emanuel and Ed Lee. All mayors that promote sanctuary cities should be locked up.

[apepi]

Honestly I don't know how they would protect them. By just not enforcing the law? Really if Trump wanted to he could just sue Chicago and get the Feds to do it. I honestly don't know how they would legally protect them.

It is like Obama right now with states choosing to use marijuana recreationally, he could stop it if he wanted to, but he doesn't. But Trump could force them to not be able to.

Hey now, don't blame Chicago, Chicago dindu nuffin!

Then the federal law enforcement can enforce those federal laws.

It's not obstruction of justice, it's simply not enforcing laws by choosing not to investigate upon them. I support such things, because it is a form of limited government, and leads to more personal freedom. I'm curious as to why so many conservatives have such a problem with those ideals.

Why is mmo-c forum suddenly full with rascist, priviledged, xenophobe posts? You were so quite about your inadequances as a full fledged human being, boys. Now your privileges are showing.

You may want to change that before they ban you. They've done it plenty in the past.
