Trump claiming in NC that if he is elected he will immediately go after Sanctuary Cities.....followed by the usual blah....blah.....blah

While there is no legal definition for sanctuary policies or sanctuary cities, the term is applied to jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, such as failing to provide information about immigration status and limiting the length of immigration detainers.

Sorry Donnie you dictator you, there is no law you can use to "immediately go after Sanctuary Cities". You can use existing law to track down those that have overstayed their visas or have not made their Immigration Court dates or have been slated for deportation but that is about it.
 
Didn't Trump also recently promise no tax on overtime? I expect soon he will be guaranteeing free healthcare to everyone again. Nevermind the fact his party requires him to be for a totally private market based approach.
 
No one seems to care about sanctuary states when it comes to the devil’s lettuce.

Far as I know a 'sanctuary city' is one where the city government has decided not to expend city resources on a federal responsibility. Why the hell should city cops be tracking down and arresting illegal immigrants? The city has finite resources and plenty of their own issues to deal with.

We could be effectively dealing with illegal immigration now if Donald hadn't blocked the bipartisan immigration plan in the Senate.
 
Trump is in desperation mode. He is just promising anything and everything to everyone in a desperate attempt to catch a few more votes. He is not at all concerned about delivering on his promises. Once he has your vote he will have got what he wants to help avoid facing consequences of his criminal history.
 
?? When was the last time Trump was ON the rails??

If I had a nickle for every time Trump made lofty promises that he would never have the power to fulfill, I could afford to buy pumpkin spice lattes with an extra espresso shot at Starbucks every day.

He's going to need them for gphis mass deportation project.

The point is "sanctuary city" is a term of art, not a term of law. As such not the President nor anybody else can simply barge into a city and start rounding up everybody for a particular neighborhood and put them through a sift for people he wants to deport even if there are people there that deserve deporting.

This is once again King Donald proclaiming his Monarchy.

A very good point!

Man that stinking extra shot is a ball buster to the wallet, isn't it?

We have far better baristas then Starbucks at far better prices where I am THANK GOD!

And this begins to sum up yet another easily recognized example of just how full of shit Trump is. He has promised, time and time and time again, to start massive deportations on a scale never before seen. And yet he won't tell his moronic minions how this grand scheme can even be achieved. The mechanism and the resources to do it don't even exist, and if they did it would take more than a single 4 year term in office to achieve it, even if he could completely shut the border using US troops. Fortunately, we'll never know.

Only a complete ****ing idiot believes anything Trump promises. They are pitiable.

I don't even go there. I've got a great little coffee shop just around the corner on Broadway, and lately I've been toggling between a large iced red eye, or several tiny macchiatos like I had today. I haven't even walked into a Starbucks since 2019 - before COVID hit.

^^^^^^^^THIS!^^^^^^^
It's about the money!

Feds want cities to determine the immigration status of everyone they encounter. When in doubt, the feds want the cities to detain said persons, house them, feed them, and provide them healthcare until such time as the feds get around to taking them into their custody. All, with no reimbursement from the feds. The cities do not have the financial resources to do the feds' job.

Further, when undocumented immigrants (with no other crime) fear they are at risk of deportation if they come forward to report a crime or stand as a witness, it makes the local police's job that much harder.

The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are otherwise good neighbors, but Trump would have knuckle dragging morons believe those peasants are the source of all that is wrong in our country.

His followers dont know that, and dont care. They dont even question it...they just swallow it whole.

IMO his rallies are a waste of time and $$ for him...he's only getting the already-indoctrinated coming in to worship. Of course, that is what he desires the most, and he's using their $$.

IMO, the sound bytes we get from those stroke-fests help Harris much more than him.

Trump needs to promise to cure some serious disease. Say, cystic fibrosis.

Nobody will care, it's just Trump. We've successfully normalized him.
 
Once again…

Most illegals crossing our southern border do so for economic reasons. They are economic refugees. They come here because we hire them. That happens to be against the law. SO…

If we arrested the US CITIZENS who break our laws in doing so, and as it turns out the majority of them are big business management and owners, there are no jobs to be had because the people who do the hiring don’t want to go to federal prison and the big bad economic refugees that scare you so badly by picking your fruit, mowing your lawns, cleaning your hotel rooms, etc., stop coming.

Of course this means we are going to have to hire legal aliens and US citizens for that, which means all those things are going to gist more but…

Hey, that’s just how that goes.
