In July, there were 276 sanctuary cities and counties. Now there are 340, according to a new report by the Center for Immigration Studies citing data from the Department of Homeland Security.
Our elected officials must not sit back and watch these sanctuary jurisdictions continue to release thousands of criminal aliens back into our communities in defiance of ICE efforts to deport them, and then witness the harm that inevitably ensues when these removable offenders strike again.
“An alarming number – 2,320 – of the total number of released offenders were subsequently arrested within the time period studied for new crimes after they were released by the sanctuaries,” Vaughan wrote.
Democratic mayors of major U.S. cities that have long had cool relationships with federal immigration officials say they will do all they can to protect residents from deportation, despite President-elect Donald Trump’s vows to withhold potentially millions of dollars in taxpayer money if they do not cooperate. I agree with President Elect Trump in this matter. I have no problem as many others with immigration that is legal. Jumping the border and being rewarded with federal aid is not what this country was founded on. If these mayors wish to continue, then put it on the backs of the stare’s residents. I do not want my tax dollars going to Washington state to support illegals. Looking at the map I am glad to say I reside in the Southeast.
