Arent sanctuary cities doing precisely that, sending a message "with people"? Whether you find it spiteful seems subjective.

No that’s not what they are doing. Please explain your position.

Because they hate us more than anything in this world. They don't care about policy, they only care about hurting "the libs" and people that live in blue states.

It is not just stupid and dangerous. The idea is full of spite and a plan to portray immigrants as some kind of animals that they would be released in sanctuary cities to teach those "libs" a lesson. It is dehumanizing immigrants. Trump has been trying to teach a lesson to the blue states; by taking away SALT deductions, coming in the way of providing adequate disaster relief, taking away money allocated for healthcare etc. This is yet another ploy in his devious plan to teach lessons to people who did not support and vote for him.

No, liberals are not criticizing to welcome the immigrants (wish Trump gets dropped on his head and wake up to actually do that), they are criticizing Trump's vindictiveness and deviousness. He does not act presidential even for a second. With his spiteful approach to every policy) he will never be a president for all Americans! He is disgusting, so are the people who support his policies and gaslight anyone who dare to criticize their Dear Leader.

Liberals hate the taste of their own medicine.

^^ spiteful POS

^^ Giant hypocrite

Liberals say immigrants improve their community, add to the community wealth, etc. How then would sending immigrants to liberal communities hurt liberals?

Ask dear leader, it was part of his master plan. He wanted to do it for retaliation. He must have an opinion on why it would be a retaliatory measure.

I for one would have no problem with an orderly transport of immigrants to my city. I do however have a major problem with my President acting as if placing immigrants around the country is a way of punishing liberals and acting like he would be unleashing a torrent of criminals on our cities. That is an effed up mindframe. My ire has nothing to do with fearing the possibility of immigrants in my city, it has to do with fearing a President that takes actions HE BELIEVES are punitive towards his political opposition.

White House officials have tried to pressure U.S. immigration authorities to release detainees onto the streets of “sanctuary cities” to retaliate against President Trump’s political adversaries, according to Department of Homeland Security officials and email messages reviewed by The Washington Post.

Trump administration officials have proposed transporting detained immigrants to sanctuary cities at least twice in the past six months — once in November, as a migrant caravan approached the U.S. southern border, and again in February, amid a standoff with Democrats over funding for Trump’s border wall.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco was among those the White House wanted to target, according to DHS officials. The administration also considered releasing detainees in other Democratic strongholds.

White House officials first broached the plan in a Nov. 16 email, asking officials at several agencies whether members of the caravan could be arrested at the border and then bused “to small- and mid-sized sanctuary cities,” places where local authorities have refused to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation.

The White House told U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that the plan was intended to alleviate a shortage of detention space but also served to send a message to Democrats. The attempt at political retribution raised alarm within ICE, with a top official responding that it was rife with budgetary and liability concerns, and noting that “there are PR risks as well.”

After the White House pressed again in February, ICE’s legal department rejected the idea as inappropriate and rebuffed the administration.

I just do not have words to describe my disgust for Trump's capacity for vindictiveness and dangerous fear mongering. When will the country get rid of the monsters in WH. This news is about so many levels of wrongs. Trump wants to use the apprehended immigrants as if they are wild animals to release them in "sanctuary cities" to punish Democrats and blue states!!! WTF!

I’m not seeing the problem. These immigrants must be released from custody somewhere. Where better than places that have explicitly chosen to designate themselves as “sancturaries” for such people? That is what that word means. Weren’t these cities serious when they said so?

I thought immigrants were an unalloyed blessing, with lower crime rates than the native-born and making contributions to aggregate GDP? If that is “retaliation,” isn’t the joke on Trump?

It'd be one thing if he were proposing this because it was a good solution for the immigrants. But he only would want to do this to be vindictive to those who disagree with him. And he's using human beings as pawns in his twisted game.

He doesn't GAF about the immigrants. And he certainly DGAF about many US citizens - in fact, his intention is to harm them. The POTUS intends to harm US citizens. If you don't think that is f$cked up then I don't know what else to say.

This incident is just one small example.

Tax hikes. No disaster relief/assistance. Etc

I hope for your sake that you live in Mississippi because otherwise you're just collateral damage.

““It was basically an idea that Miller wanted that nobody else wanted to carry out,” said one congressional investigator who has spoken to one of the whistleblowers. “What happened here is that Stephen Miller called people at ICE, said if they’re going to cut funding, you’ve got to make sure you’re releasing people in Pelosi’s district and other congressional districts.” The investigator spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect the whistleblower.”

“It was during that mid-February standoff that one whistleblower went to Congress alleging that the White House was considering a plan to punish Democrats if they did not relent on ICE funding for beds. A second official independently came forward after that.

According to both, there were at least two versions of the plan being considered. One was to move migrants who were already in ICE detention to the districts of Democratic opponents. The second option was to bus migrants apprehended at the border to sanctuary cities, such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco.”

These plans were not meant to help immigrants...they were meant to PUNISH US citizens.

It really doesn't matter, however. Does it?

Ridiculous or not, even if there were a logistical and safe way to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities or "welcoming cities," the responses on this thread are STILL very telling.

Show of hands - those of you in Mo Co . . . would you welcome these folks, many who have faced a lifetime of obstacles, into your community if ICE transported them to - oh - Wheaton?

Yes (and kick you out)

So displace am American Family for illegal aliens?

You are a parody of a loon but sadly real. Take them into your home. You want them here so bad. Displace yourself. Let a family live in your home.

No, you don't get it. The family doesn't have to live in my home. The family will live in YOUR home, after we kick you OUT. Then everybody is happy.

You are a textbook lib. You won’t give up your home for illegal families, but will remove-by some illegal force- another family- to house illegals.

You are really unhinged.

And you are a textbook con. No one said anything about using some illegal force to displace you.

My kid drives half way across this country to go to college regularly bc they couldn't get into their state school or any other school with top scores and incredible public health volunteer experience. Surely, my governor could lead other governors to provide guided escorts to our fine county.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. Are these governors detaining your son and driving him against his will halfway across the country? If so, and if they got into an accident along the way in which your son was injured, I would expect them to have liability for his injuries.

Exactly. Trump and Miller are looking for ways to punish opposing political views. He is explicitly punishing US citizens based on their political views. Is he the POTUS or is he the POTredstates?
