Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has vowed to protect criminal illegal aliens. From a recent article on Fox News:

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel also vowed to protect illegal immigrants, including ones suspected or convicted of crimes, from the feds.

“I want to be clear: We’re going to stay a sanctuary city,” Emanuel said. “There is no stranger among us… you are welcome in Chicago as you pursue the American dream.”

Really, Rahm? Chicago is having it’s deadliest year in decades, and you want to protect criminal illegal aliens? Maybe you should run that by their victims, or by the legal immigrants who respect our country and its laws. They might have a different take on the topic.

According to a recent Fox News story, NYC authorities are hard at work assuring locals that  turnstile jumpers will not be deported – as if it is the turnstile jumping that presents the potential for deportation. According to Larry Byrne, the deputy commissioner for legal affairs for NYC:

“Even if you’re a recidivist and jumped a turnstile for the fourth or tenth time, and we arrest you for the misdemeanor crime, that’s a misdemeanor — it’s not a qualifying” he told reporters, according to Politico. “Nobody is getting deported for a minor offense.”

Frankly, I think most New Yorkers would like to see these recidivist turnstile jumpers deported. However, the fact is that the potential for deportation is the result of being in the U.S. illegally, ignoring our laws and disrespecting legal immigrants who follow our immigration process and rules; the turnstile jumping only brings an individual into the view of authorities. So, in a sense Mr. Byrne is right – they are not getting deported for turnstile jumping; they are getting deported for being illegal immigrants.

All of this is in response to President Trump’s executive order regarding illegal immigrants and their detainment/deportation in accordance with U.S. immigration law. To garner support for their actions in defiance of President Trump’s order, NYC officials go further still and utilize a frequent political technique to justify their actions and promote citizen support by equating Trump’s order as an attack on immigrants (rather than illegal immigrants). Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio is quoted in the same article saying:

The order also contradicts “the character and values” of a city and nation long known for welcoming immigrants.

The article also cites other NYC officials as noting that President Trump’s order would make:

“…immigrants reluctant to talk to the New York Police Department as witnesses or even victims of crime.”

However, Trump’s order has no impact on legal immigrants; productive, legal immigrants are the backbone of our nation and are welcome as always. They are also still free to report crimes and assist law enforcement without fear of deportation. In fact I would expect that they would be more willing under Trump’s order to assist law enforcement, knowing that those responsible for crimes who were here illegally would be deported and not returned to the streets to harass witnesses and victims. In this manner President Trump’s executive order to remove illegal aliens could be considered to be in support of legal immigrants by removing these “bad apples” who are here illegally.

Don’t be sheeple, people – think for yourselves. Legal immigrants are actually supported by the removal of criminal illegal aliens as proposed by President Trump’s executive order. Don’t let NYC’s leftist politicians convince you otherwise.
