illegal migrants coming to your town? Democrats do nothing as illegals flood border

Are illegal migrants coming to your town?  How about Sanctuary Cities of San Francisco, Santa Cruz and San Jose?

The Democrat controlled congress lead by Nancy Pelosi has done nothing as the southern border has been overwhelmed with illegal migrants.

One million illegal migrants flooded the USA southern border in 2018.  In May 2019 over 144,000 illegal migrants crossed into the USA.  They have to eat and sleep.  Where are they?  Where do the go?

Illegal migrants  don’t ‘escape into the shadows’ as our politicians are wont to say.  The children of illegals  are educated in our schools.  Their babies are registered as US citizens and have access to social services, low cost housing and inexpensive food.   Our faith organizations and social service entities are feeding and clothing them.

In the past illegals have overwhelmingly been young males.  Lately they are families with children — some theirs and some faking that the children are  theirs –as it’s easier to get caught and released into the interior of the USA.

What about  jobs: We know that ones from central america are sending record levels of money back home.  So — illegal migrants do get jobs.

 Most illegals settle in  large U.S. cities such as New York, Houston, Los Angeles.    Roughly 2 in 3 illegals migrants use some welfare programs.

Trump’s decision to use tariffs  as a political weapon  to get Mexico to act has worked.   For now.

Our ‘do nothing’ Democrat controlled congress spends its time going after Trump’s financial records in hopes of destroying him.

Trump’s tariffs on Mexico will reduce illegal immigration?

 

illegal immigrants cross into USA

Trump’s tariffs on Mexico will reduce illegal immigration?  Doubtful.

The economy is booming.   Jobs are easy to get. People seek freedom.

All a person has to do is get in the USA and disappear for two years before showing up for a hearing. Thousands are picked up daily by the border patrol and  sent throughout the U.S.A.   See picture above.  About 1,000 were arrested May 20, 2019.

Suggestive that those illegals do get jobs, a record amount of money is sent back to central america this year.

Trump is ‘making good’ on a promise to his core supporters prior to his election.  Trump has tried other routes — with little support from the courts or congress.   So, ‘hit them where it hurts’ i.e., in Mexico’s pocket book. Tariffs  on Mexico will start at 5% and escalate.

avocados from Mexico may  soon cost more

Looks like avocados from Mexico  will cost more.

Immigration and health care costs are likely big issues in the 2020 elections.  The now Democrat controlled  congress spends little energy on either issue and prefers Trump bashing.  And now Trump bashes back.

Trump’s Tax Cuts – Make permanent? Yes! Support ICE & defund “sanctuary ciites”

Democrats want to abolish I.C.E. and support “sanctuary cities”– 

Democrats want to abolish I.C.E. and support “sanctuary cities”.  Lots of people benefit from Trump’s tax cuts. So — let’s

Make permanent last year’s middle class tax cuts? Yes! Rep. Kevin Brady, the Ways and Means Committee chairman, has introduced legislation to do exactly that. Make Trump’s middle class tax cuts permanent.

Now’s the time for Republicans to schedule votes. Even though Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may not have 60 Senate candidates the Republicans can use Democrat “no” positions to huge effect in their races.

Now — two months from mid-term elections — is the time for you  to speak out in support of  I.C.E. and to de-fund “sanctuary cities”.

San Francisco sanctuary city verdict, no Democrats support tax reform & Flynn found guilty of lies … Consequences?

Day of reckoning for sanctuary cities,  tax reform and General Flynn’s lies to the F.B.I.? 

Sanctuary Cities:  With San Francisco’s  not guilty verdict for Kate Steinle’s shooter  — an illegal alien felon who was  deported five times  to Mexico — San Francisco’s sanctuary city laws continue to protect illegals from federal immigration,   I.C.E.  And the consequences likely to be?    Probably more public outcry to protect the safety of U.S. citizens and more  support to build a Wall.

Tax cuts for the middle class:   No Democrats — House or Senate –  support tax cuts for the middle class in 2017.  Wow!  What a change from the last time tax cuts were on the table.  The last time — 16 years ago –  there was major tax reform only 31 Democrats voted against  tax cuts in the Senate and in the House 28 Democrats supported the bill including California.  And what might be the long term  consequences for this epic  policy and political blunder  by  the Democrat Party?  When the average voter has more money in their pocket book and the economy offers higher wages, voters will remember. The middle class has been leaving CA because of high taxes and high rents.  Maybe the Democrat progressives will ‘face the music’ in next year’s elections.  Especially if more sexual predators are identified in the Democrat controlled legislature?

Lies to the F.B.I.:   And General Flynn  — that NSA adviser who Obama ‘unmasked’  now  found guilty because e he lied to the FBI.   Flynn served as NSA adviser  for about one month and  was fired by Trump because he lied to his boss, Vice President Pence. Trump’s son-in-law  Jared Kushner  told Flynn to make the call concerning which he later lied to the F.B.I. Reports suggest that Kushner’s influence is waning fast. 

Freedoms enjoyed in America have consequences ….     Speak up & comment!

I.C.E. is nice? Santa Cruz & Watsonville CA say ‘NO” as they are Sanctuary Cities…

 

I.C.E. is nice?  Sanctuary Cities oppose  I.C.E &   include Watsonville, CA and Sana Cruz, CA

I.C.E. is nice?   Sanctuary Cities include Santa Cruz, CA and Watsonville, CA say ‘No” ….

In an March 15, 2017 article written by Joseph Geha for the East Bay Times, the chairman of the City of Fremont California’s Human Relations Commission, is quoted as saying: “There are strength in numbers. The more communities, the more cities that sign on to sanctuary city status, the more difficult it will be for the federal government government to do anything about it.”  [The Fremont city council passed its sanctuary resolution that day.]

     A ‘sanctuary flash mob’ strategy does appear to be the progressive Democrats’ plan to overwhelm President Trump’s efforts to rein in sanctuary jurisdictions by  threatening cuts in  federal funding.

     Since President Trump released his Executive Order, the trend has been a sharp increase in the number of sanctuary resolutions being passed across the country.  That trend slowed after US Attorney General Jeff Sessions began to also publicly warn that sanctuary jurisdictions’ might lose federal funds.

Some sanctuary cities then began to double down on their policies and file lawsuits claiming that the federal government can’t cut some or all the threatened funding.

     Ultimately, the sanctuary battle will continue in the federal court system and likely be decided by one or more separate U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

new mental disorder created by San Francisco federal judge to protect Sanctuary cities

Pre-enactment anxiety caused by Trump.   sanctuary citiesIrreparable harm to sanctuary cities caused by Trump threatening to enforce existing laws on the  books concerning immigration.  That’s what a San Francisco judge ruled.

Pre-enactment anxiety disorder. What in the world is that? It’s not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM 5).    That ‘s the newly minted  mental disorder which  San Francisco and Santa Clara are said to  suffer from says federal judge Orrick  in defense of his stay of Trump’s executive order to enforce existing laws regarding immigration.

Just the thought of withholding money to Sanctuary cities who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration causes such anxiety that San Francisco and Santa Clara county are harmed so says judge Orrick.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday blocked any attempt by the Trump administration to withhold funding from “sanctuary cities” that do not cooperate with U.S. immigration authorities, saying the president has no authority to attach new conditions to federal spending.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the preliminary injunction in two lawsuits — one brought by the city of San Francisco, the other by Santa Clara County — against an executive order targeting communities that protect immigrants from deportation.

That uncertainty was a central focus of the arguments in the case, as well. At a hearing earlier this month, attorneys for the Justice Department offered a far narrower interpretation of the order than Trump, saying it would only apply to jurisdictions that refuse to share citizenship information as required by law, and that it would apply to only three federal grants from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security that require compliance as a pre-condition.
Orrick was skeptical of that interpretation.
Liberals are mimicking conservatives by asking a single federal judge to issue a nationwide order against the administration.

That’s exactly what conservative states did two years ago when they asked a federal judge in Brownsville, Texas, to block Obama’s plan to defer deportation for 4 million undocumented immigrants. The judge, Andrew Hanen, did just that, issuing a nationwide order that ultimately was upheld by an evenly split Supreme Court.

The Obama administration decried the reach of Hanen’s order, calling it “drastically overbroad” in a 2015 court filing.

Now it’s conservatives who are protesting use of the tactic. When a federal judge in Hawaii said last month that Trump couldn’t block travel from a group of predominantly Muslim countries, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he was “amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific” could block the president’s policy.

Aptos Psychologist: Try that argument with the Internal Revenue Service.   Dear IRS, you are causing me to feel  “pre-enactment anxiety”  just at the thought of taking away my money.  You’ve caused me irreparable harm. Think that  argument — “pre-enactment anxiety” — will work talking to the IRS?

remember Kate Steinley killed by 5 time deported felon

sanctuary-city-san-franciscoRemember Kate Steinley shot in the back and  killed   in the sanctuary city of San Francisco by  five time deported illegal felon Lopez, a Mexican natonal   with multiple  convictions?

The man who murdered  Kate Steinley  was released from  jail  by the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department and not turned over to federal authorities.

A February 2017  poll shows that Trump has broad public support in his effort to crack down on sanctuary cities.

A recent Harvard-Harris Poll shows  that 80 percent  of voters say  that local authorities should comply with the law by reporting to federal agents the illegal immigrants they come in contact with.

Cities that arrest illegal immigrants for crimes should be required to turn them over to federal authorities

Sanctuary cities receive $2.27 BILLION in federal programs.

A safety issue:   Trump re-framed the issue from a partisan battle to a duty owed to the American people: “When it comes to public safety, there is no place for politics; no Republicans, no Democrats, just citizens, and good citizens,” he said. “We want safe communities. We demand safe communities for everyone.” Voters will want to know why their mayor sides with the illegal alien killer over a victimized American family.

About 300 sanctuary city jurisdictions operate in the U.S. where state or local officials refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement officers and make it difficult for them to apprehend illegal aliens caught committing a crime.

Santa Cruz CA is a sanctuary city. Law enforcement officials in Santa Cruz claim that the community is safer by not reporting illegal immigrants to federal authorities. Recently 13 members of  M-13 gang were arrested in Santa Cruz by federal  authorities in cooperation with local authorities.

The Trump plan includes an expansion of the “287(g) program” — named for the section of federal immigration law that enables DHS to deputize state and local law-enforcement officers to enforce the laws as if they were federal immigration agents.

Aptos Psychologist: To be — or not to be — a Sanctuary City? Santa Cruz, CA is one. Did voters vote?

  sanctuary-city-greenTo be or not to be a Sanctuary City.  Did voters vote?

Which CA cities  are Sanctuary Cities?  Santa Cruz, Watsonville – they are Sanctuary Cities.  What about Scotts Valley?  Capitola? Can residents in Aptos, CA vote?

 In general, do  voters get to vote to be or not to be a Sanctuary City?

Below is a Letter published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2016:

A president who cares 

“Listening to President Trump’s inaugural address was most inspiring. As the mother of a United States Marine officer I know that now there is now a man in the White House who really cares about our military, our veterans, families and keeping this country safe. I am ashamed that on leaving office Mr. Obama released 233 drug dealers. How does that make our children safe?

Oh, but I forgot, Santa Cruz is a sanctuary city so this release does not worry its residents.”

— Linda Eberhardt, Scotts Valley

So — is it  time to end sanctuary cities?   In 2017,  there are about 300 canctuary cities — up form about 70 in 2011.

Remember Kate Steinle —  who was murdered while walking with her father  in sanctuary city San Francisco.  She was murdered by   by an illegal who had been deported multiple times.

 Let’s say to sanctuary cities:  “If you refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, you will lose your federal funding.”
