POTUS may be trying to make everyone 'crazy' with sanctuary cities threat: Sen. Rick Scott

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump may have threatened to transport illegal immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities to "make everybody crazy" and generate media attention, Republican U.S. Senator Rick Scott said on Sunday.

Trump said on Friday he was considering sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, prompting U.S. mayors to accept such an offer as the battle over border security rages.

Sanctuary cities are local jurisdictions that generally give undocumented immigrants safe harbor by refusing to use their resources to help enforce federal immigration laws that could lead to deportations.

Since many such jurisdictions are Democratic strongholds, the proposal was seen by critics of Trump as an attempt by the president to punish Democrats for refusing to support funding for the construction of a wall on the southern U.S. border.

It would, however, likely encounter a slew of logistical and legal obstacles, with some legal experts and advocacy groups saying the proposal could violate federal laws, including those barring the use of government funds for political purposes.

Not "everybody", just open-border democratic communists.

#3 Would it be more kosher if funds were laundered through Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, etc Charities (as currently done with refugees) to move southern border refugees into sanctuary cities?

#6 We traded up here in Florida when we got DeSantis. Scott seems to have been drinking the Beltway kool-ade even before he got there...

#8 Yes, there has, ironically, got to be a sweet spot for compassion. Compassion that hurts everyone but the ostentatious spouter of compassion is probably not it...

#9 Think about it: 100,000 illegal aliens camped in San Francisco's Cow Palace and city officials pleading with Gov. Newsom for help, Newsom calling for federal funding that Congress will not authorize, MSM harping on violent incidents, rapes, child abuse, unsanitary conditions, lack of food and shelter. Hey, Nancy, you got what you wanted. Deal with it.
