That's what these so called sanctuary citizens cost us each year. My money is going to be much better spent on a wall stopping many of them from getting in. Hopefully they'll setup a "beaner cam" so that we can watch.

Tancredo: Over 300 Sanctuary Cities Are Costing State and Local Taxpayers over $7,000,000,000 Annually

President Trump this week signed an executive order declaring war on so-called sanctuary cities. Agencies within the United States Government will begin withholding federal grant funds from those cities, and additional actions to enforce federal immigration law will be taken soon.

Unlike Obama, President Trump is not trying to making new laws by executive decree. In his Executive Order, the president is only reminding mayors and governors of existing federal law dating to 1996:

U.S. Code › Title 8 › Chapter 12 › Subchapter II › Part IX › § 1373
8 U.S. Code § 1373 – Communication between government agencies and the Immigration and Naturalization Service:

Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.
(b) Additional authority of government entitiesNotwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, no person or agency may prohibit, or in any way restrict, a Federal, State, or local government entity from doing any of the following with respect to information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual:
(1) Sending such information to, or requesting or receiving such information from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
(2) Maintaining such information.
(3) Exchanging such information with any other Federal, State, or local government entity.
(c) Obligation to respond to inquiries
The Immigration and Naturalization Service shall respond to an inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency, seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by law, by providing the requested verification or status information.
(Pub. L. 104–208, div. C, title VI, § 642, Sept. 30, 1996, 110 Stat. 3009–707.

Enforcing the law.


What a novel concept!

Will it have gun turrets like Mexico's wall on its southern border with Guatemala? If not, why not?

No one ever wants to talk about Mexico's wall or their desire for more wall or walls. Nor the walls of so many other countries. Mexico knows damn well it's in their best interest in other areas, but then it's racist if the USA does the same thing. And this is nothing new, just something to be ignored I suppose.

Mexico builds its own wall against migrants
Pressure builds for measures to stem flow of refugees from the south heading for US

Donald Trump wants a wall on America’s southern border to keep illegal immigrants out. But for people such as Rosa, whose husband, mother, sister, brother-in-law and two nephews were murdered in her native Honduras by gangs who then tried to recruit her 14-year-old son, Mexico already acts as a formidable barrier.

Rosa, who asked for her full name not to be used, fled with her two teenage sons only to find herself trapped in a political controversy that the US Republican candidate has put at the heart of his campaign.

Zero net immigration of Mexicans into the US and an 82 per cent fall in people caught trying to cross the US-Mexico border in the past 10 years means that most would-be immigrants detained there are Central Americans. Even without Mr Trump’s fortress frontier, Mexico finds itself under increasing pressure to stem the migrant tide near its source — its own southern border.

“Mexico has become a wall for migrants,” said Sister Magdalena Silva, co-ordinator of Cafemin, a privately run shelter in Mexico City that takes in refugee families, including Rosa’s. “The current policy is to arrest migrants to stop them from getting to the US border.”

Hypocrisy Alert: Mexico Builds Border Fence on Its Southern Border

Are you aware that Mexico is erecting a fence on their southern border?

Via Fox Nation –

Reporting from Guatemala City, Danilo Valladares of the Inter-Press Service (IPS) notes that there will be one more barrier for Guatemalan immigrants in their trek to the United States. In addition to dodging dangerous drug traffickers and immigration officials, the latest obstacle is emerging: a wall between Guatemala and Mexico.

According to the head of customs for Mexico’s tax administration, Raul Diaz, the Mexican border state of Chiapas is constructing a wall along the country’s southern border with Guatemala, along the river Suchiate which divides the countries. Diaz says the purpose of the wall is to prevent the passage of contraband, but admits, “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”

According to Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH), 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year — the vast majority of them attempting to reach the United States. In addition, smugglers reportedly use the Suchiate River to move goods across the international border without paying duty taxes.

Just as Mexican authorities have opposed more strict border enforcement and the construction of a border fence along the U.S. border with their country, Mexico is now receiving a great deal of criticism from Guatemalan officials.

You know, I didn't even think of that.

With all illegals getting booted back over the border from whence they came, Mexico is going to have a YUGE problem with illegals.

That means Mexico will be extremely motivated to crack down on any illegals sneaking into their country.

So our Great Wall of America will primarily stop Mexicans, and Mexico itself will prevent the flood from their southern border.

Brilliant.

While I acknowledge that you think those muzzie terrorists are good people to have around, most Americans reject your antisemitic babbling, thankfully.

May God continue to bless Israel and the USA!

GravyBoat. The One, and Only parasite any of us here on DP would enjoy getting rid of is....YOU. Your endless hatred, even for yourself is obvious to all of us. You must lead a really miserable, brainless life (if I dare call it that). Go back to your can, and don't forget to have fellow idiots put a LID ON IT.

I wonder why none of Liberals is crying about the wall the Israelis were mounted?
