Tancredo: Over 300 Sanctuary Cities Are Costing State and Local Taxpayers over $7,000,000,000 Annual

Tancredo: Over 300 Sanctuary Cities Are Costing State and Local Taxpayers over $7,000,000,000 Annually

"........Unlike Obama, President Trump is not trying to making new laws by executive decree. In his Executive Order, the president is only reminding mayors and governors of existing federal law dating to 1996:

    U.S. Code › Title 8 › Chapter 12 › Subchapter II › Part IX › § 1373
    8 U.S. Code § 1373 – Communication between government agencies and the Immigration and Naturalization Service:

    Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.
    (b) Additional authority of government entitiesNotwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, no person or agency may prohibit, or in any way restrict, a Federal, State, or local government entity from doing any of the following with respect to information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual:
    (1) Sending such information to, or requesting or receiving such information from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
    (2) Maintaining such information.
    (3) Exchanging such information with any other Federal, State, or local government entity.
    (c) Obligation to respond to inquiries
    The Immigration and Naturalization Service shall respond to an inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency, seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by law, by providing the requested verification or status information.
    (Pub. L. 104–208, div. C, title VI, § 642, Sept. 30, 1996, 110 Stat. 3009–707.

"......Some local politicians also use a phony “states rights” argument for resisting federal enforcement of immigration law. This is a phony argument because there is a long string of Supreme Court decisions, most recently the 2012 Arizona v. United States ruling by Justice Kennedy, saying that the Constitution in Article VI gives the federal government preemptive authority over immigration law. States cannot “opt-out’ of federal immigration law, and neither can cities or counties– or universities or private religious organizations. ...."

"Soros Funding Powers Opposition Groups Fighting Trump Immigration Ban

"Soros Funding Powers Opposition Groups Fighting Trump Immigration Ban

by Harlan Hill/ January 29, 2017 Dennis Michael Lynch

"......The most notable groups behind the suit are the International Refugee Assistance Project, the National Immigration Law Center, and the Urban Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union. They all have Soros connections.

The International Refugee Assistance Project’s executive director, Taryn Higashi, sits on the board of Soros’ Open Society Foundation. The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Immigration Law Center, and the Urban Justice Center are all underwritten — to the tune of tens of millions of dollars — by Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

A Soros connection to an open borders campaign is nothing new. In 2014, The New York Times reported that Soros had spent almost $80 million advocating for open borders and lax immigration laws since just 2004."

Obama mocks Trump, but has barred immigrants, many Muslim, 6 times

Do as I say, not as I did. You don't see what you see, hear what you hear, know what you know. No need to think critically because leftist will define your reality for you.

 

"Obama mocks Trump, but has barred immigrants, many Muslim, 6 times

By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard)  Washington Examiner

"President Obama has barred huge groups of potentially dangerous immigrants from entering the United States at least six times, undercutting his claim that barring Muslims from terrorist countries as Donald Trump has proposed is un-American.

In his first ban, according to a search of White House records, Obama instituted a ban on "immigrants or nonimmigrants" covered by a larger United Nations travel ban. He also included those on an economic sanctions list. Most countries were Muslim.

He cited the very same section of law that many critics of his policies have asked him to use, "section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952." It says, "Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrant's or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." .....

"......White House documents also show that former President Bill Clinton issued six immigrant bans; George W. Bush six immigrant bans; and former President Ronald Reagan four. And in 1980, former President Jimmy Carter banned Iranians after Tehran seized the U.S. embassy.

Below are Obama's actions: ....."

"Trump's Wednesday Morning Tweet: Investigation into Voter Fraud (see tweet)

Time for a national voting law requiring a state issued identification in order to vote. In Georgia if someone can not afford to furnish one the state will pay for it so lower income people are not discriminated against. If a national law is patterned after Georgia law it will be stringent but very fair. Our voter ID law has been through the courts and found lawful.

 

"Trump’s Wednesday Morning Tweet: Investigation into Voter Fraud (see tweet)

by DML DAILY/ January 25, 2017/ POLITICS

On Wednesday morning President Trump published a tweet stating he will be asking for a major investigation into voter fraud.  He highlighted areas he believes are problem spots, such as people who are registered to vote in two states, those voters who are in fact illegal,  and registration rolls that include dead people.

Earlier this week President Trump told members of congress  he would have won the popular vote if it were not for voter fraud.  The president believes 3 to 5 million votes were cast by “illegals.”  Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by more than 2.8 million votes."

Maddog this one's for you

I was surprised they were allowed to put memes up while waiting for the real photos. Those were pretty good ones too.

 

US Military Bases 'Taking Down Obama Portraits, Replacing Them With Trump Memes'

In military bases across the country, portraits of Obama are coming down and Trump memes are reportedly taking their place.

Federal policy dictates that all Obama portraits in court houses, post offices, government buildings and military installations needed to be removed by 12:01 p.m. on Friday, January 20th.

Trump portraits need to take their place, but not everyone has received their official portraits yet.

These photos shared on social media purportedly show what's taken their place in the meantime.

"The Collapse Of The Left's Great Con

Brilliant article on point all the way through it. Definitely worth complete read.

 

"The Collapse Of The Left's Great Con

Source: ZeroHedge
Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith via OfTwoMinds blog

"The source of the angry angst rippling through the Democratic Party's progressive camp is not President Trump--it's the complete collapse of the Left globally. To understand this collapse, we turn (once again) to Marx's profound understanding of the state and capitalism. ...."

"......But over the past 25 years of globalized neoliberalism, social democratic movements have abandoned labor to embrace the self-serving wealth and power offered by capital. The essence of globalization is: labor is commoditized as mobile capital is free to roam the globe for the lowest cost labor. In contrast, labor is far less mobile, and unable to shift as fluidly and frictionlessly as capital to exploit scarcities and opportunities.

Neoliberalism--the opening of markets and borders--enables capital to effortlessly crush labor. The social democrats, in embracing open borders, have institutionalized an open immigration that shreds the scarcity value of domestic labor in favor of lower cost immigrant labor that serves capital's desire for lower costs.

Globalization and neoliberal financial / immigration policies signify the collapse of the Left and the victory of capital. Now capital completely dominates the state and its cronyist structures--political parties, lobbying, campaign contributions, charitable foundations operating as pay-for-play cash vacuums, and all the other features of cartel-state capitalism.

To mask the collapse of the Left's economic defense of labor, the Left's apologists and PR machine have substituted social justice movements for economic opportunities to acquire economic security and capital. This has succeeded brilliantly, as tens of millions of self-described "progressives" completely bought the left's Great Con that "social justice" campaigns on behalf of marginalized social groups were the defining feature of Progressive Social Democratic movements....."

"......The Left is not just in disarray - it is in complete collapse because the working class has awakened to the Left's betrayal and abandonment of the working class in favor of building personal wealth and power. Anyone who denies this is still in the fatal grip of the Left's Great Con."
