#1 The answer here is quite simple. Declare these cities in rebellion against the US. Arrest their city officials, try them for treason and execute them while putting the city under federal management for a month or two while you hold new elections.

#2 Hell I could overrun Deltona with my schools 5th graders. Course we'd miss FCAT prep time.

#3 Seems you'd be a fool to come to the US illegally and not find a place to live in one of these sanctuary cities. So in effect these cities have chosen to take on the financial burden of illegals from the state and feds.

Wonder how long that lasts when these cities start to go deeper and deeper into debt.

#4 That graphic's purdy interesting. "No Bosses. No Borders." Taken to its logical end, it would be the end of precisely those who march around carrying the signs.

I spent enough of my youth on a "farm" that I could prolly grow / raise more than I need, assuming I had the ammo hoard I'd need to protect it from the type of people who carry signs like that.

Their cities wouldn't be a sanctuary if they won - they'd be Hell on Earth. Fitting.

#5 Another few reasons are out here in Phoenix. First of all, the illegals here integrate quickly and create few problems. Second, the feds want local communities to pay, directly and indirectly, for doing federal work. Third, the local and State police are far more interested in getting the cooperation of the illegals in solving serious felony crimes--which is why they are not too keen in alienating their informants.

Finally, the feds have in past been astoundingly ham-handed out here when dealing with illegals. They have done crap like search (white) people's homes without a warrant, because they saw a brown person walk through their yard. They had a city sweep in Chandler where anyone with dark skin was stopped on the street and had ID demanded of them. Some several times.

I even had a red-haired Irish friend with a tan sent to Nogales at the point of an M-16 because he was picking oranges without having his drivers license with him. Boy, was he pissed.

We also have an s-load of kids whose parents are illegal, but the kids are American, don't speak Spanish, and have never been to Mexico.

The biggest problem is that even if you have a small business and net $100k/year, if you are illegal, it is a major pain in the ass, and about a decade of hassle, to become legal. You even have to leave the US to do it. No middle class person wants to do that, it is insane.

If you could just buy yourself legal, even for $50,000, Phoenix would have thousands of new legal residents overnight. And most of them would vote republican.

#6 All the Colorado Cities are either suburbs of Denver, or in the case of Fort Collins, a university town. The solution is quite easy - just declare that all federal funding will be withheld from those cities refusing to cooperate, and stick to it. These cities NEED federal funds to continue their moonbat ways. Without them, they will dry up and blow away - or at least, come to their senses. I'm sure there are laws already on the books that would allow this. The same goes for college towns - just declare that the colleges in those towns are not eligible for federal funding OFANY KIND, and watch the attitude change. Also watch the ACLU and a host of other moonbats start flinging around legal challenges that can easily be defeated - except when pled before a Carter or Clinton appointee.

#7 Here's another good one for you. Illegals can get mortgages. Who'd a thunk it.

#8 I'd like to chime in and agree with Anonymoose, especially with point #3. The cops here in San Diego don't like to 'waste' their time dealing with immigration crimes when there are so many other priorities. Things like robbery, assault, rape, and gang violence are deemed far more important.

If illegals in the community know they can be deported for reporting these sorts of crimes, they will not talk to the police. Since around here that can be a lot of people, you're going to have pretty large areas where the law runs thin. That leaves the nasty criminals running around and making things worse for everyone, since they don't usually confine their crimes to illegals.

At least where the cops and courts are concerned, they figure when they run out of violent criminals, they'll go after the those who are here illegally.

As for the people who advocate and implement the policies ignoring legal status for benefits in community services and university education, they have no such excuse. Most of them I talk to will always have some sort of world view that has the current U.S. as the problem of just about anything. And they're here to fix it. Always makes me scratch my head in wonder.

#9 Simple solution: Cut all federal funds to those cities - this includes Roads, Education, Medical, etc....

Pretty soon those cities will come around.

I'm suprised Seattle isn't on the list.

#10 They have Wilmington listed separately from Los Angeles. I believe W is part of LA. Also they left out Arcata, CA a college town.

#11 hey, how do I sign up to be an illegal? I sure would like all the benefits and free ride.

How sad this has become.
(shakes head)
