Don't forget the marches... these immigrants will have the red carpet rolled out for them! I actually think it's a very intriguing idea. Funny how liberals pay lip service to all their "good deed" and virtue signal whenever humanly possible. But when a real opportunity arrives to take in these immigrants, all of a sudden it's "punishment". Too funny.

TRUMP thinks it’s a punishment. Are you really that dense?

Who cares? YOU don't think it's a punishment, right? Or do you? Which is it?

this

It becomes an attack on Trump when he stated the obvious. While ICE isn't going to OFFICIALLY ship newcomers to sanctuary cities, that's where they're headed. Mo Co, for example, is growing in diversity.

Here are some stats:

The population of Montgomery County, MD is 44.5% White, 19.1% Hispanic, and 17.8% Black. 41% of the people in Montgomery County, MD speak a non-English language, and 84.8% are U.S. citizens.

Astute folks notice it in the schools first. Here is a demographic chart of the MCPS schools - https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/annualreport/2017/
Hispanics make up the largest group. Now, you'd need to examine the numbers more closely to see who's in ESOL classes, for example, in order to analyze funding and growth. And those numbers will change from level to level, as there may be more allocated for ES than for HS, for example, depending upon shifts in the population. But we do know that the group is growing, which makes it attractive for those seeking refuge in similar communities.



So while "Trump thinks it's a punishment," as you so eloquently stated, do YOU think it's a punishment, too? That's the question that's been asked again and again on these threads.

The growth is there, folks. Liberal (and mainly coastal) cities will attract newcomers for many reasons. So how is Trump's "punishment" any different from what's ALREADY BEEN in place for YEARS?

Well said. Of course, liberals can’t stand to be called out on their BS, so they’ll simply keep deflecting to “Trump’s trying to *punish* us!!” So funny.

Stop pushing your lies...no one is buying it.

On the contrary, the entire nation is watching you hypocrites trying desperately to walk back your positions on sanctuary cities. We are all watching you and will definitely remember in 2020. "You bought it, you own it" - isn't that what you're always saying?

Example of the walking back?

Seriously?
Then: "ALL immigrants are welcome here! Legal, illegal - these are people and immigrants built this country! They should ALL be welcomed here and anyone saying otherwise is a racist!"
Now: "Wait - you're not really suggesting we bring them in by the busload, to our blue cities - where I LIVE??? This is an abomination! Trump's a monster for suggesting this!!"

Timestamp?

Do your own work and stop your incessant, moronic questions. Liberals in general are notorious for hopping on their soapboxes regarding welcoming illegal immigrants, and you know it. To pretend otherwise simply makes you intellectually dishonest.

Give an example of the bolded. We know you can’t because you are full of sh1t.

an interview with Libby - https://www.npr.org/2019/04/13/712997016/oakland-mayor-libby-schaaf-on-trump-and-sanctuary-cities

SIMON: But let me hone this down to the point that's at issue now. If sometime, let's say, in the middle of next week, a number of buses arrive in Oakland with 5,000 migrants, do you say, welcome to Oakland?

SCHAAF: I always say, welcome to Oakland. But this is much less about immigration or sanctuary. This is about an outrageous abuse of power. The idea that you could use human beings, families as instruments of political payback to use public resources to exact retribution on your political enemies. This is not America. It is not democratic. And this is what should outrage all Americans, regardless of their stance on immigration or sanctuary cities.

I wonder what her constituents think.

How is it political payback if she welcomes them? She says much, does nothing. Typical BS liberal hypocrite.

SIMON: Would, let's say, a thousand more immigrants greatly tax the resources of Oakland?

SCHAAF: Oakland is growing very quickly. And we welcome families. We welcome people that seek to make better lives for their families, that are willing to work hard and become wonderful members of our community.

I am very anti-illegal immigration, and live in a stupidly liberal area of MoCo. Neighbors with signs up everywhere about how ‘We Welcome All Immigrants’ etc, etc.

Maybe Trump could choose each of these houses to accept the illegal immigrants? They are advertising a welcome. Makes perfect sense to me.

The statement said needed items included utensils, napkins, paper plates, sanitary napkins, shampoo, clothing, towels, blankets, canned food, bottled water, foam padding for bedding and stuffed toys.

interesting . . .

The Border Patrol announced Thursday it would release migrants in southern New Mexico and in El Paso, Texas, pending their future court hearings Immigration and Customs "capacity issues."

Happy to donate to support those communities.

Where did OP say she doesn’t want immigrants sent to blue areas? She’s talking about Trump’s behavior.

This is has been copied and pasted before.

from OP's post

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!

OP is taking liberties with Trump's wording. OK, Trump used the word, animals, in regard to MS 13 (he claimed). People didn't believe him, as they claimed he used the term to describe ALL migrants. fine . . . (I'm not a Trump supporter, but I do look at the hypocrisy stemming from both sides.)

So OP then used some charged language - the use of "wild animals" and "punish."

OP "softened" the blow by inserting "as if," which isn't a direct comparison. But the comparison is there nonetheless.

So on a psychological level, OP is indeed characterizing these folks as animals who will punish all the liberals. But OP deflects by blaming Trump.

A truly compassionate liberal would have questioned Trump's motives w/o using harsh word choice.

And let's just call a spade a spade, folks. The point of sanctuary cities was to allow illegal immigrants to feel comfortable around police (and other service workers) w/o fear of some sort of retribution. So of course these welcoming environments would be number one choices in relocation efforts.

I was called a liar b/c of something I apparently said about sanctuary cities - but was never given the specifics. (I was only attacked, which isn't a way to argue.) Therefore, I'm addressing this topic here, as it's fitting.

The issue was Trump wanting to treat humans like pawns. Is that really that difficult for you to comprehend?

It's not an abuse of power if those states had asked to be excluded from those laws. I would have no problem with blue states only having Medicare for all or some public option healthcare. Of red states dont want it so what

That would hurt every citizen in that state, even if they didn’t want to be excluded from those laws. That’s collective punishment and something that this country is supposed to stand against.
