Los Angeles Formally Declares Itself a ‘City of Sanctuary’

POSTED 2:50 PM, FEBRUARY 8, 2019, BY LOS ANGELES TIMES, UPDATED AT 06:39PM, FEBRUARY 8, 2019

It took nearly a year and a half, but officials voted Friday to declare Los Angeles a “city of sanctuary,” long after other left-leaning cities took a similar stand against the Trump administration’s policies toward immigrants who lack legal status.

The Los Angeles City Council voted 12 to 0 to approve a symbolic resolution that elected officials first proposed in September 2017.

At the time, Councilman Gil Cedillo and Council President Herb Wesson called the proposal a response to President Trump’s plan to unwind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children.

But their resolution sat in committee for months. Critics questioned whether they would turn their press conference rhetoric into an actual label for an immigrant-rich city.

We do not want to have a thirty foot wall on our Southern Border to represent who we are, but rather our Statue of Liberty.

They waited for revenge... but I understand it.

What I don’t understand is why the guy had to be denied the chance to get right with the Almighty...

This is the way Christians act?

So, you support state sponsored religious discrimination.

I am so not surprised.

It's the way autocrats act, whether they are pretending to be Christians or not.

More on how autocrats work:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-court-fake-court-dates-ice-agents-immigrants-2019-01-31-live-updates/

The law indicates that folks who have lived peaceably in the United States for 10 years without having their case heard have their names taken off the removal list. However, that 10 year period is reset upon their receiving a Notice to Appear (NTA).

So, ICE used to send out NTAs that said "TBD" for their dates - "to be determined." And that would reset the 10 year count, despite their being no actual date.

The courts ruled that to be illegal. NTAs must have dates.

What was ICE's response? They sent out thousands of NTAs to immigrants, all of which had dates - but they were bogus dates! These folks drove, some of them as much as 8 hours, for these fake NTA dates, only to arrive at the courts and discover bewildered court officials who had no idea what was going on initially.

I hope the courts clobber ICE hard for this stupid game and they refuse to accept the resetting of the 10 year period. I also hope some of those ICE officials who made this decision see some jail time for their actions that clearly violate the intention of the prior ruling. And if it was directed by people above ICE, they should see twice the jail time.

This administration disgusts me.

Since when is it illegal, unethical, or immoral to want to keep our borders safe and secure and our society free of illegals?

---Whether it’s by crossing the U.S. border with a "coyote" or buying a fake U.S. passport, a foreign national who enters the U.S. illegally can be both convicted of a crime and held responsible for a civil violation under the U.S. immigration laws. Illegal entry also carries consequences for anyone who might later attempt to apply for a green card or other immigration benefit.---

Refugees aren't illegal, and many of our ancestors were refugees.  And it is illegal and immoral to treat refugees like criminals.  Especially when they are willing to work hard at a labor job that your kids wouldn't touch with a ten meter pole.   

[kiidcarter8]

Did your ancestors enter illegally?  Not something to be proud of.

Mine were kidnapped and trafficked...

[barton]

Did your ancestors enter illegally?  Not something to be proud of.

Nope, two grandparents were economic refugees and entered legally. 

That was kind of the point: what they did - come here to work - should not now be illegal.  Nor should seeking political asylum be treated as a crime.

---Hungary Shows the West the Path to Survival
Just as they resisted communism, so too are they leading the charge against the radical open-borders project.---

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/hungary-shows-the-west-the-path-to-survival/

If a neo Nazi xenophobic dictatorship is our path to survival it is time for us to perish.

Orbán’s notoriety ultimately has little to do with his arcane transgressions against what Western Europe’s rulers consider good government. It exists because he addresses, in language stunningly clear for a politician, the key civilizational questions facing Europe, those that richer countries are loathe to hear.
…..purpose of this was “to send a clear message to Brussels: the renovation of Europe is impossible without support for families and Hungary wants neither immigration nor a modification of its population.” This sort of frankness from leaders in the wealthier West is inconceivable. At a press gathering I recently attended, a Macron minister holding a comparable post focused most of the conversation on the expansion of gay rights.

Faced with the Merkel Million Man Migration, Orbán ordered Hungary’s army to build a fence.

Wise man is Orban.
