Trump threatens to dump illegal migrants into Sanctuary Cities to punish congressional foes for inaction on the border...

but wouldn't that hurt him more than help him?

It wasn't too long ago that he was against sanctuary cities claiming they violate federal law, now it appears he's for them. Not only that, but his promise to protect the innocent Americans from the crime thirsty illegals by imposing his immigration policies to keep them out, now he threatens to release them.

The President has said the “some” illegal aliens are dangerous. Those are being processed out and deported.

Sanctuary cities are the most logical place to send excess illegal aliens.

According to Merriam Webster

sanctuary city
noun
(in North America) a city whose municipal laws tend to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation or prosecution, despite federal immigration law.
"mayors in those cities reaffirmed their status as sanctuary cities"

MOST sanctuary city mayors have said they will welcome more illegal aliens with open arm. Current sanctuary city residents will be joined by the people they voted to protect and pay for. They should feel warm and fuzzy.

What’s your problem?

Yet Trump wants to round undocumented immigrants and “dump” them in sanctuary cities to cause havoc on American citizens since he believes they are violent. Instead of doing what he promised to do and just deport them.

In that case it seems to me he doesn’t care/mind that illegal immigrants are here. And would use them as a weapon to hurt Americans that he promised to protect to get his way. He looses credibility that way.

Here the thing, if a president says a place is a violation of federal law but he wishes to place undocumented immigrants there, then it’s obvious he does not care about it being so. That he’s more in support for these cities than against.

@SW-User I don't see a problem with that. The people in the sanctuary cities voted through their representatives that they want illegal aliens to live with them. Votes matter. Those illegal aliens got to go somewhere. Can't thing of a better place than a place that voted to accept them.
SW-User
@hippyjoe1955 So you don't see a problem with a Sanctuary city even if you say if violates federal law. I assume that you also view undocumented immigrants as violent, so then you don't see it as a problem if citizens are attacked by undocumented immigrants, correct?

Those illegals are already somewhere, there are millions of undocumented immigrants already living in America and many of them don't live in Sanctuary cities.

@SW-User Non sequitor.

The citizens of sanctuary cities voted to pay for benefits for illegal aliens. Said illegal aliens should have the opportunity to reap the benefit. You’re mixing watermelons and persimmons. @SW-User
SW-User
@jackjjackson But if Trump says that they violate federal law and illegals should not get benefits then why contradict himself? If you are against something then, then you will do everything to get rid of that something. Not give more support to it. See, this is why doing this would hurt him more rather than help him.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The federal government should not give anything to illegal aliens. If you live in a sanctuary city and have chosen to pay for illegal aliens go for it WITH YOUR LOCAL TAX DOLLARS. @SW-User
SW-User
@jackjjackson I don't live in one. And I know a majority of illegal immigrants don't live in a sanctuary city either, so this whole threat of Trump sending them to sanctuary cities to cause havoc and reap benefits is ludicrous.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Why? It’s not a threat. Sanctuary cities nationwide are welcoming illegal aliens with open arms. Check the news. Reality has passed you by dear. @SW-User
SW-User
@jackjjackson In Trump's mind it's a threat. He says undocumented immigrants are violent criminals. So he threatened to release them into Sanctuary cities to harm as many Americans as they can be hurt his opponents. That hurts his original credibility that he wants to protect Americans, now he wants to harm certain Americans, so how has reality passed me on that one?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
You’re a mindreader? Logic and reality seem to escape you. I recommend getting some actual news NOT from msnbc and cnn lol. @SW-User
SW-User
@jackjjackson Because Trump states that undocumented immigrants are violent, rapist, and criminals then his threat to release them to harm Americans is what it is....a threat. And to him that's the biggest threat he can think of to hurt those who don't support his border policies. I'm just putting two and two together and that takes logic to do so. Oh, and I don't watch CNN nor MSNBC.

Let me guess, Fox News and Breitbart?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Yes. The president accurately stated that there are some dangerous criminals among the illegal alien invaders. That is completely true and accurate. @SW-User
SW-User
@jackjjackson Well considering that Fox News not too long ago reported that Trump cut funding from "3 Mexican countries", I don't see how they are a reliable source. Plus their report from last year during this Caravan fiasco which was highly xenophobic in nature, reporting that the caravan was bringing over diseases such as HIV. While spreading propaganda to spark fear in the hearts of Americans. And by propaganda, showing clips of what appeared to be migrants from the Caravan stepping on an American flag when in fact that was from a rally held in America over, I believe police brutality. I even made a post about this. And Breitbart is not a credible source either.

[quote]The president accurately stated that there are some dangerous criminals among the illegal alien invaders. That is completely true and accurate.[/quote]

Aaand he wants to round them all up and dump them into sanctuary cities to harm Americans. Instead of just deporting them.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
You may watch Fox I don’t. The criminals get deported. The non criminal illegal aliens go to sanctuary cities. What is so hard to understand about a simple concept? Other than of course you want to twist it into something it isn’t. Don’t be a political hack. @SW-User
@jackjjackson Just then , Jack, I thought it read he was going to dump them in the ocean!! Now, that would be most welcome!
SW-User
@jackjjackson I don't because it's not a reliable source of information.

[quote]The non criminal illegal aliens go to sanctuary cities.[/quote]

But illegal aliens are criminals since they came to America illegally. So they're not criminals now? Edit: So Trump would be okay with none criminal illegal immigrants being in the states then?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
No one is fooled by your word games. In what sanctuary city do you live madam? @SW-User
SW-User
@jackjjackson See, this is why I know you're stupid. When one disagrees with you, you assume they live in a Sanctuary city. When they say they don't you continue to assume they must live in a sanctuary city.

[quote]The criminals get deported. The non criminal illegal aliens go to sanctuary cities.[/quote]

This is what I was responding to, this is your comment. If you forgot illegal means forbidden by law/against the law, so illegal aliens committed a criminal act, by illegally crossing the border into America, therefore they are criminals. This is an example of using logic. You just stated that the none criminal illegal aliens go to sanctuary cities, while stating that the criminals get deported. That's why I asked , "So none criminal illegal aliens are not criminals now?" Even thought illegal is in the name. And note: not all illegal aliens live in these sanctuary cities and aren't deported.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Duh. We are obviously talking about criminality beyond the illegal alien status and you know it. Your word games are juvenile and fool nothing. I’ve assume nothing I’ve ASKED me whether they live in sanctuary cities. Most of you liberals interestingly deflect and avoid answering. @SW-User

@jackjjackson

Yet you just typed "none criminal illegal aliens" how the hell does that make sense?

[quote]I’ve assume nothing I’ve ASKED me whether they live in sanctuary cities[/quote]

Ok, so if you have assumed nothing, then why do you keep asking? I told you no, those who you keep asking that question to also told you no.

[quote]Most of you liberals interestingly deflect and avoid answering[/quote]

I've answered pretty much everything.
If this comes to pass, placing large numbers of detained illegal aliens in sanctuary cities, rest assured the politicians who support sanctuary cities and allow them, are nowhere to be seen in and around the enclaves of illegal aliens that have and continue to spring up.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
What about when they are confronted with their prior statements? @soar2newhighs
If you're referring to politicians supportive of sanctuary cities, I'm guessing their mental outlook is NIMBY.@jackjjackson

Ya think? 😂 @soar2newhighs
