Chicago's history as a sanctuary city

[Tristyn]

Chicagoans take pride in being a sanctuary city.

In late January, as President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut off some federal funding to cities, counties and states that refuse to detain and turn over to federal authorities people who are living in the U.S. illegally, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel reiterated the city's commitment to providing a safe haven to immigrants who are living here illegally but are law-abiding: "We're gonna stay a sanctuary city."

Chicago's path to being a sanctuary city began more than 30 years ago.

"Since the Presidential Election, there has been a sense of uncertainty among many immigrant communities in Chicago and across the nation. I want to assure all of our families that Chicago is and will remain a Sanctuary City," Mayor Emanuel said in a Nov. 13, 2016, news release. "Chicago has been a city of immigrants since it was founded. We have always welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds, and while the administration will change, our values and our commitment to inclusion will not."

In response to President Trump's signing of an executive order intended to block federal funding to sanctuary cities like Chicago, Mayor Emanuel says, "There is no stranger among us. We welcome people."

The city's aldermen vote to reaffirm that Chicago protects all residents regardless of race, ethnicity, immigration status, criminal record, gender identity and sexual orientation. "You mess with one in Chicago, you mess with all of us," said Northwest Side Ald. John Arena, 45th.

An excellent example of leftist insanity.

I wonder how the victims of crime committed by illegal immigrants feel about this?

Probably the same way they feel as victims of crimes committed by American citizens.

Apparently, they take great pride in their murder rate as well as it continues to get bigger every year.

You disappoint me, Lace.

"Lace" how cute.

Yes, Chicago faces many challenges.

Sadly, our alt-right Republican governor is more interested in playing politics than he is in helping us solve our collective problems.

^^^ Doubling down on insanity.

So if a family member were murdered by an illegal immigrant you'd be indifferent about the fact that the government...the entity which is tasked with enforcing the law of the land deliberately enabled a criminal and a crime.

Gotcha.

*chuckle*

Chicago has spent generations of Democrat-dominated government, but just as you can find a Republican, then the Republican is at fault for not fixing Chicago's problems.

Question for you...




Why didn't the fucking Democrat governors solve Chicago's woes???

Gotcha.

I'd feel the same way if the murderer was an American citizen or an illegal/legal immigrant.

As I posted in the other thread.

The illegal citizen can report the stolen radio from their car with out fear of deportation and the illegal that stole the radio does so without the fear of being deported after his wrist-slap...

Just like the Mayor of Chicago.

You wouldn't be upset that your government was to blame for the death of a relative?

Let's just call them an outlaw city. There's no constitutional authority granting the states the right to have their own immigration system. Chicago and the other Democrat sanctuary cities are now confederate entities in rebellion against the constitutional sovereignty of the federal government and its plenary powers in immigration and foreign policy.

Hmmm ...sounds like the South before the Civil War.

Alt-right Republican Bruce Rauner has been Illinois governor since January 12, 2015. Since that time, Illinois has not passed a budget.

The Democratic governors didn't solve Chicago's woes for the same reasons Republican governors didn't - they're either in prison or didn't have the guts to make tough decisions.

If a relative dies in a war, should I blame the government?

 

[Conager]

No, only people whose arrested development stopped at the point where being a girl or gay was the most egregious insult they could think of for a man.

 

[water505]

Obfuscation...denial...intellectual dishonesty...lies...misplaced blame...deflection...red herrings... hallmarks of the Leftist.

Chicagoans don't steal a car radio, we steal the entire car & sell it for parts.

Chicago is a world class city.

Chicagoland is the home of over 8 million people in a dynamic as well as diverse environment.

Perfect.

Ask a leftist a question and they deflect by asking another question.

Why?

Because answering the question exposes their hypocritical foolishness.
