Instead of doing a big roundup surge the Trump admin should send thousands of illegals to Philly and say “have fun”
Philadelphia will soon have some of the nation’s toughest local restrictions on federal immigration-enforcement operations after Mayor Cherelle L. Parker on Thursday approved legislation codifying the city’s sanctuary policies and banning ICE raids on city property.
The mayor signed six out of seven “ICE Out” bills that came to her desk after being passed by a supermajority of City Council. She took no action on the seventh bill, a piece of legislation that bans immigration agents from concealing their identities, meaning it will still become law because she did not issue a veto.
The other bills approved Thursday bar federal immigration enforcement from staging raids on city-owned property, prohibit discrimination on the basis of citizenship status, and ban the city from engaging in most forms of information sharing with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It effectively codifies into law the city’s already existing sanctuary policies in which officials do not assist the federal government in carrying out immigration enforcement.
Those practices were previously in place as the result of an executive order. But signing them into law means that a future mayor can’t unilaterally revoke the city’s sanctuary policies.
Well, good luck with these come into effect in July. The city has zero control over federal immigration operations. The states can’t do it, and cities definitely cannot. If they do not want to share information on illegals caught committing crime, as well as turning them over, then they should get no federal money. Seriously, why do Democrats want to protect illegal alien criminals who hurt US citizens?
Of course, Philly could be the next recipient of a lawsuit
Feds sue New Mexico, Albuquerque over pro-immigrant policies
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the state of New Mexico and city of Albuquerque alleging a new state law and city ordinance “unlawfully interfere with federal immigration enforcement.”
The Immigrant Safety Act, passed by the state Legislature earlier this year and signed into law in February, bans local governments from contracting with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for immigrant detention. It also bans cooperation agreements between ICE and local police.
“New Mexico is attempting to regulate immigration policy, something the federal government is clearly and uniquely empowered by the Constitution to do,” Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Division said in a news release Friday.
Trump and his people are not playing. Maybe Democrats shouldn’t have been unhinged during Trump’s 1st term and after he left office.
NYC doing quite well with its 37% foreign born population homicide rate at historical low median household income $87000
Median rent Manhattan $5000
Lifespans longer than ANY state!
Why people are moving from rural areas to urban
Yes-US cities with the highest rents

So?
“Median rent Manhattan $5000……”
So?
80% of U.S. residents are urban. But the racist Mad King Donny won over 90% of rural counties!
Rural voters control the White House, Senate, House and Supreme Court. It’s even more uneven at the state level!! Democracy is on life support here in this United States!
Red state MAGAt Repubicunts are rapidly re-apportioning Congressional districts to dilute the impact of African-American voters only a day or two after the far-right wing Supreme Court overruled the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “If you n****r-lovin’ commies want n****r Representatives you can elect them in your lib states. Leave us real Amuricans alone! White makes right!”
Our conservative brethren claim the 2nd Amendment is to protect ourselves from an autocratic government. Like now?
Funny-“re-apportioning congressional districts to dilute the impact of African Americans….” You mean the districts that were over-proportioned with blacks to begin with (racism)?
So in other words Democrats are crying about black’s voting rights and power being taken away just a few months after telling people not to vote for a Black woman for Virginia’s governor? Do I have that right?
Nailed it.

Philly has been a sh*thole for so long. As a long time suburban resident, there isn’t anything that would get me to go to Philadelphia. Dirty, Crime Ridden, Lawless Jungle. The inmates run the jungle I wish them Good Luck as they fall further into the abyss.
