Last night we reported to you that the White House had suggested sending illegals from the border to sanctuary cities and that the idea had been shot down by DHS.
Well now Trump says that idea isn’t dead yet and they are still considering it:
Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only….

….The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy!

Wow. I’m a little surprised that Trump owns this idea so heartily, but he apparently has no fear about this whatsoever.
As I suggested last night these cities are a big part of the problem as they create the draw for illegals to come here, knowing that these cities will shelter them from ICE.
And in reality, Trump is right that this should make them very happy. They want illegals to come to their cities, which is why they call themselves ‘sanctuary cities’, and Trump is now agreeing with them. Or he wants to call their bluff and watch them squirm.
Either way, this should be interesting to say the least.
