Sanctuary city madness

[dkithore]

What is the logic behind a fight with Feds to justify protecting illegals (criminal) and criminal illegals? That is , those who have committed more crimes. What are the benefits to a city? cheap labor? a vote (fradulent) or what?

[Marshall Bennett]

Liberal ideology at work. Little logic in most of what they believe in.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that many liberals are not on board with this nonsense. It's strictly political, mainly to try and protect the latino vote, although I doubt that it is very effective at that.

[Track Collector]

IMO the motivation is clearly vote-related.

A major component of Liberal ideology is the support of "victims". The more victims we have, the more we need Liberals to take over our lives to do what "is best" for us.

Just think of how many votes the Dems will lose if we work to clean up and eliminate these Sanctuary Cities. ;)

[chadk66]

all of the above. now you understand why liberalism is a mental disorder. you have to be extremely mentally disabled to think this is how to operate your liberal mecca. well now they can try and do it without federal dollars.

[Marshall Bennett]

So many of their beliefs are off the rail its easier just to generalize. I have this theory (I think its mine) that many liberals don't really subscribe to many of their own policies. Instead they have them in place to aggravate, provoke, and belittle conservatives. The race card is a good example. While they use it to attack the right, if the truth were known they're bigger racist themselves.
They'll vote for a democratic candidate they despise, just to counter votes on the other side. While both sides do this, the left is far more guilty. The woman's march was all about attacking Trump, had little or nothing to do with women's rights. They don't mind bottoming out their own moral standards to generate disgust on the right. And yes you're correct in saying its a mental disorder. It truly is.

I don't get it!,Back in the 70's and 80's if I was here a bit longer then my visa,I trembled at the word Immigration!! And got my ass back to Canada.Now 20 yrs later,I obeyed the US laws to a T. My wife and I went thought the process of coming to the US and getting legal..We paid a hefty sum and it took a agonizing 4 1/2 years. How on earth can these people be protected when there are millions that have obeyed the laws..If they have sanctuary cities then each person who paid to come here should get a refund! This is a kick in the teeth to law abiding citizens.

Dem lawmaker tips off illegals in MS-13 hotbed
'If there's a knock on the door and you don't know who it is, don't open the door'


A Democrat state lawmaker in Massachusetts has been caught tipping off illegals – many of whom are violent street gang members, child sex offenders and drug traffickers – to imminent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids Tuesday, even telling criminal targets not to open their doors, to stay silent, to refuse to sign anything and to “fight back” with an attorney.

You are the exact type of person we NEED to come here.
In fact, you are much prefered to most of the ones who are here legally - by birth, but not by mind. :rolleyes:

Worthless people like Faucet-Face UpChcuk Schumer have clue on this subject.

I say follow the "kash"... This is where it will lead to any of this...

How dare a person that is voted in, and then takes "an oath" to obey the laws of the Constitution, be it state or Fed, then turn their backs on those very same laws that were designed to protect us all, and then allow these thugs & gangsters to do mighty harm to our other fellow Americans, within this INSANE Framework.....

What is up with that....?? How lost we have become when it comes to the law...

Gangsters, is all I see here....simple, follow the kash..

Stinks, you may be right about googling to learn things. I like to hear points of views from live bloggers. And there are quite a few I respect.

I have a great amount of suspicion about Google though i use the browser sometimes. That company took stand against the Temp. pause of Trump, for instance. And they will be the first in line to take Trump's tax cuts. Greed has a place in business but ultimate greed and lack of patriotism for the country in favor of few coins? No, IMO.

[chadk66]

I actually think your going to see some city officials, politicians, etc. prosecuted. Wonder what they'll think when that starts.

[Marshall Bennett]

Google news has to be the most anti-Trump news organization in existence. Even their entertainment, business, and sports often have stories bashing Trump and his family. I can't read any of it anymore. A bus load of angry hateful journalist that shouldn't be reporting news for anybody. :ThmbDown:

Progressives have problems with really hard stuff, like math. And the logic of cause and effect. :rolleyes:

Illegal immigrants in the United States make up approximately 3.5% of the nation’s entire population. According to data compiled from the U.S. Sentencing Commission for fiscal year 2015, illegal immigrants were responsible for 30.2 percent of convictions for kidnapping/hostage taking, 17.8 percent of convictions for drug trafficking, 11.6 percent of convictions for fraud, 10.4 percent of convictions for money laundering, 6.1 percent of convictions for assault, and 5.5 percent of convictions for murder. So much for the myth spread by the pro-illegal immigrant crowd that illegal immigrants commit serious crimes at a much lower rate than U.S.-born citizens. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266260/sanctuary-cities-choose-criminals-over-citizens-joseph-klein (http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266260/sanctuary-cities-choose-criminals-over-citizens-joseph-klein)

There is a great deal of logic to it. Using data, not anecdotes. we find that incarceration rates among illegal immigrants is much lower than among native born Americans of a similar education level. We also find that in sanctuary cities, illegal immigrants are much more likely to report a crime, cooperate in a police investigation, send their kids to school and avail themselves of community services than they are in situations where they are fearful of deportation.

They are also more likely to find and keep a job. Which means they pay taxes. Which means they help to pay for those community services they avail themselves of.

On the other hand we have the conservative logic which says everyone but me is a freeloader and unworthy of serious consideration.

Seriously, nobody really wants this but they want to 'get back' at Trump for winning a fair democratic election, they're willing to risk their families, their cities and their lives. It has nothing to do with being pro-whatever, it's just 'stick it to Trump' believe me, most people of any political affiliation want a safer hometown, sticking it to Trump is worth it to them.

Not so. Trump and Sessions are bringing it to greater attention, but this has been around for over 30 years. It was an issue in the 2008 presidential election.

From Wiki:

Berkeley, California became the first city government in the United States to pass a sanctuary resolution on November 8, 1971.

San Francisco declared itself a sanctuary city in 1989, and city officials strengthened the stance in 2013 with its 'Due Process for All' ordinance. The law declared local authorities could not hold immigrants for immigration officials if they had no violent felonies on their records and did not currently face charges.

Why did Obama deport more illegals than any President before him in the entire history of our country? Surely he knew of these stats, right?

He actually deported more people under his watch than Clinton and W combined.

Surely you were promoting rights for illegals during the Obama administration, right?

Trump should pass a law allowing citizens to sue the offending jurisdictions and the responsible officials in federal court when they are harmed by illegal aliens that the jurisdictions/Officials release back onto the streets.

Not in CA, to pay for the cost of educating their kids they would have to have an income of 60K a year, the fact is the children of illegal aliens are a huge cost to the state of CA.

When filing taxes, they declare enough dependents to receive all their pay and then get refunds from the IRS when they declare child tax credits for all the kids they claim on their tax returns. Believe me, they know what they are doing and have plenty of help and advise to gain the system.

Such horseshit. You once again buy the government numbers and line. There is a huge underground economy built around the illegal community. More likely to find and keep a job? More likely than who? Most pay no taxes unless you count gas taxes at the pump. They suck the hell out of the food stamp line and the various other handouts. They don't buy car insurance unless they are dogged by a court. They make up a huge portion of the prison system. Somewhere between 20-30% depending on who you believe.

This 3% of the population makes up 12% of the murder convictions in the United States. THINK ABOUT THAT NUMBER. It doesn't include unsolved crimes, crimes where they bailed out and fled back to Mexico etc. That is convictions only. CONVICTIONS AND SOLVED CRIMES ONLY. In sanctuary cities murder cases are solved in the 48-52% range. Think about that.

This doesn't even consider the bullshit number of 11-12 million illegals in the U.S. I have been told by ICE officers that it's at least double that.

So you come in here spouting your government provided bullshit once again. Btw, we didn't even get into how more likely they are to kill cops.........or maim or injure them. They cover up those numbers too.......

It's not a country unless we can control our own borders. There is no argument against that.

What data do you provide mostpost?

So your logical mind says, because illegals are close to being ideal citizens welcome these illegals (criminals), wait and decipher who meets your good illegals criteria (not supported by data) and support their children go to free schools, receive dole, compete with legal immigrant labor! Run with Mexican flags as demonstrators in California cities, killing and raping innocent women! This is far from logical, imo.

I would propose that all bleeding hearts to adopt (good) illegals and vouch for them. Put your money where your mouth is. Talk is cheap!

Serious question: What do you mean by "snowflakes?"

[tucker6]

Serious question: What do you mean by "snowflakes?"

Before last year, snowflake-as-slang lingered on the fringes of the lexicon. It was a largely non-partisan slight — a mean, though not hateful, dig at millennials perceived to have an outsize sense of their own individuality and, by extension, importance. Helicopter parented to the hilt, millennials supposedly graduated from college (into a dismal economy with unprecedented mountains of student debt) too coddled for this cruel world, ill-equipped to face life’s indignities with dignity.

But as 2016 dawned, snowflake made its way to the mainstream and, in the process, evolved into something more vicious. The insult expanded to encompass not just the young but liberals of all ages; it became the epithet of choice for right-wingers to fling at anyone who could be accused of being too easily offended, too in need of “safe spaces,” too fragile.

[Jess Hawsen Arown]

Serious question: What do you mean by "snowflakes?"

Snowflakes is a popular euphemism used to characterize emotionally vulnerable people who easily take offense and cannot cope with views that challenge their own.

William Buckley simply called them liberals more than half a century ago,when he said, "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."

More specifically, Generation Snowlflake is about children who need Obamacare under mommy and daddy's health care policy until they are 26 years old.

They don't buy car insurance unless they are dogged by a court. T

Was having a hard time getting my car to pass smog in CA, so I got a ticket. When I showed up in Orange County court., I arrived in my assigned court room, I believe they have about 4 court rooms that handles traffic violations. There were about 200 people in the room. Before any cases were heard, the bailiff came out and divided the room into 4 sections. No drivers license or insurance first offense, no drivers license or insurance second offense, no drivers license or insurance third offense, no drivers license or insurance fourth offense. Each with its own Spanish interrupter. My case didn't get heard that day, so I came back the following day and the same thing happened - the court was again divided into 4 sections for the same offenses I listed above. I asked one of the Police officers in the court and he said its the same everyday.

My car was hit by an three times in CA, one was a hit and run the other two did not have insurance. Learned my lesson, do not drive in CA without uninsured motorist coverage.

So a government mandate on the insurance market. I feel like I've heard that topic discussed in a negative way here in the past. Maybe I'm wrong...

In California, if you buy liability insurance you must be offered u/m coverage and sign a waiver to either decline it or accept it with lower limits than your liability coverage. That part only covers bodily injury to you or a passenger in your car.

The u/m property damage limit is capped at $3500 so if you aren't driving a beater, you better carry collision.

A number of people here tried to use the auto insurance requirement to justify the individual mandate, saying the two things were identical.

The difference is that the courts have ruled that driving on public roads is a privilege, not a right, and that the government can regulate the use of its roads. Auto insurance is a condition of using the public roads. Under the ACA, health insurance is a condition of living in this country.

The other difference is that mandatory auto insurance is to cover other people. Coverage of your car is still usually optional.

Your first point is dead on. No argument from me.

What Chad is talking about (u/m coverage) is, in fact, first party coverage. It covers your damages from an uninsured motorist.

I personally think he's mistaken about it being mandatory anywhere but I don't know the laws of every state so am open to being surprised. If it WERE mandatory somewhere then it would be an analog to required medical insurance.

But it's not required in California so I suspect I'm right about it not being required anywhere.

Yes, I was just talking about the fallacy of comparing mandatory liability and mandatory health insurance.

I was not aware of mandatory u/m coverage either, but decided to double check. It turns out that 22 states and DC require it, and many of those have mandatory under-insured coverage also. And it really seems odd that California, the ultimate Big Brother state, doesn't make it mandatory.

But it's not required in California so I suspect I'm right about it not being required anywhere.I sold insurance years ago in several states. All those states required it to be attached to all liability insurance policies which all drivers are required to have at a minimum "liability" insurance. You have to keep in mind that not all states are "no fault" states. ND isn't. So if I am driving in winter and run into a parked car because of Icy roads and that car owner didn't have insurance, my insurance would cover his car damage. And if there were occupants in that car my uninsured motorist coverage would cover their injuries even though they didn't have insurance because they could ultimately sue me. It's cheap insurance. If I get in a wreck here in ND and it is determined the other guy is 100% at fault I don't even have to deal with my insurance company. Everything is submitted through the guilty party's insurance. And my rates don't go up from it. In states where there is "no fault" insurance, my rates would skyrocket even though I didn't have a damn thing to do with the crash aside from being an innocent recipient of a totaled out car.

Federal roads into and out of sanctuary cities should require passports to use. If the cities do not follow our law, they should be treated as foreign areas and all passage restricted.

Can't do that on state highways, but we sure could put a major hurt on them - enough of a hurt to make the sensible citizens in them to rise up and go for regime change.

I sold insurance years ago in several states. All those states required it to be attached to all liability insurance policies which all drivers are required to have at a minimum "liability" insurance. You have to keep in mind that not all states are "no fault" states. ND isn't. So if I am driving in winter and run into a parked car because of Icy roads and that car owner didn't have insurance, my insurance would cover his car damage. And if there were occupants in that car my uninsured motorist coverage would cover their injuries even though they didn't have insurance because they could ultimately sue me. It's cheap insurance. If I get in a wreck here in ND and it is determined the other guy is 100% at fault I don't even have to deal with my insurance company. Everything is submitted through the guilty party's insurance. And my rates don't go up from it. In states where there is "no fault" insurance, my rates would skyrocket even though I didn't have a damn thing to do with the crash aside from being an innocent recipient of a totaled out car.

I worked in claims for a few desperate years and it doesn't surprise me to hear that a sales guy didn't know what he was selling. Dealt with that all the time.

As I noted earlier, u/m is a first party coverage. It would NEVER cover the occupant of any vehicle but your own. That is true across state lines. I'll wager my CPCU designation on it.

The occupants of the parked car who were injured would be covered by your liability insurance, not the u/m.

I'm glad to hear you managed to find employment in another field.

I got out of the business because it was filled with scum bags that wanted to screw their policyholders at any opportunity they had. I put them one step on the run below used car salesmen :lol:
