Wealthy residents of East Coast hamlet hold panicked meeting to keep their nannies and gardeners from being deported as AG Pam Bondi threatens sanctuary towns: 'You're going to be next'
And so they should, not that the meeting will help protect their illegal people. This is where the can is no longer kicked down the road.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The wealthy residents of East Hampton went into panic mode over the possibility their hired help could face expulsion from the US as part of Donald Trump's mass deportation program.
They prefer cheap illegals who daren’t claim their rights under the law to hiring citizens who need at least minimum wage and can’t be worked for 16-hour shifts. If they really cared about their servants, they’d hire them legally, so they wouldn’t be at risk.
The exclusive Long Island village - with an average home value of $2 million and residents that include Sylvester Stallone's daughters - held an emergency meeting amid fears that ICE would round up the employees of locals.

East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo tried to quell their fears by insisting that local cops were not required to assist ICE.
That was the rule during the Biden administration. Under President Trump, the new head of the Justice Department just announced she’ll be cutting off funds to sanctuary communities — and the head of ICE warned there is the risk of arrest for township employees, politicians, and of course those who knowingly hire and hide illegal workers. Not to mention that if ICE has to hunt down illegals on the street, they’re going to deport any random illegals swept up in the net with their targets.
'The only way any of my officers could ever enforce federal immigration law is if they were deputized,' he said. 'The town board would not allow any of our officers to be deputized.'

One migrant resident who spoke at the board meeting was overcome with emotion.

'It's really hard for me when my 10-year-old daughter asked me, "Mom, are you legal?,"' Daniela Rivas said, while adding that others were too 'scared' to attend the event.

'The most important thing we need to focus on right now is our kids. While they're at school, they're scared that when they go back home their parents won't be there.'

East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson reiterated that local police would not assist federal actions: 'If it is an ICE detainer or an administrative warrant, we do not have the authority, we will not hold them.'

The development came as Attorney General Pam Bondi warned sanctuary cities they 'are going to be next' if local officials continue to harbor and protect illegal aliens over the safety of citizens.

#2 ^The US economy added 143,000 jobs in January, which was far fewer than the 169,000 forecast by economists.

(143/169)*100 = 84.6%. Well within the margin of error in economic forecasts

#5 My sister lives in Sagaponeck, NY, just west of East Hampton. She and her husband are conservatives in a sea of liberals. For many years she ran a plant nursery where she hired a lot of Mexicans. IIRC, she had to verify that they were eligible to work in the US, but she was not allowed to question their documents.

#6 The trick of the slave owners Democrats is that them moved to costs of maintaining their labor's food, shelter, and clothing from their books to the tax funded welfare system.

Supposedly, the illegals are doing the jobs that Americans won't do. Remember George W. Bush saying that? Pissed me off when he did. I think it's more accurate to say they're doing the jobs for which Americans need not apply. Maybe you can blame America's minimum wage laws which make it illegal for American workers to compete with foreigners.
