New York is weighing in on Trump’s plan to obliterate Obama’s amnesty deal, and they ain’t happy.
The governor, the mayor of NYC and the state attorney say they will sue to keep 42,000 illegal aliens in New York.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, and Mayor Bill de Blasio have all vowed to sue President Trump if he ends an Obama-era program that protects immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. as children
New York will not demonize diversity.
We will not stand by as 42,000 NYers are deported.
If President Trump rescinds #DACA, we will sue.

We will go to the courts and to Congress to fight for thousands of New York Dreamers. Where you were born doesn’t matter. You are not alone.

De Blasio, speaking at an event in the city, said, “We’re going to go to the courts to fight him, to stop him from taking away from the Dreamers their hopes.” Politico reported late Sunday that Trump was preparing to make an official announcement on the program’s cancellation on Tuesday, with a six-month delay in the decision’s enforcement.
I’m not sure under what argument they would sue for the illegals to stay. The “Dream Act” was actually an executive memo, not even an executive order, and could be rescinded by the whim of the next president. Are they gonna argue that it’s in violation of illegal aliens’ civil rights somehow? It’ll be interesting to see what they come up with, but this effort seems doomed…
It must be noted also that scummy idiot Cuomo said that conservatives have no place in New York, even as he’s saying he will sue to have ILLEGAL ALIENS stay. Pretty amazing.
Cuomo: Pro-life, pro-gun, pro-marriage conservatives “have no place in the state of New York”
