Another Mixed Message

Rahm and the City Council continue to defy federal law:
  • Undocumented immigrants who witness crimes or are victims themselves would have nothing to fear from Chicago Police--and no excuse to avoid cooperating with them--under a mayoral plan approved by the City Council Wednesday.

    [...] Emanuel added,"We are a city of immigrants. Always will be and always have been...As the grandson and the son of an immigrant, this is true to who we are as a city. I'm glad the city of Chicago led the nation in setting down a clear path as it relates to how we welcome all immigrants to the most American of American cities."

    The so-called "Welcome City" ordinance would prohibit police from detaining undocumented immigrants unless they are wanted on a criminal warrant or have been convicted of a serious crime.

Because you know Rahm's family didn't go through all the tedious hassle of applying for passage, following the rules, taking citizenship tests, etc. They just appeared one day and ....what? They didn't? They followed the rules? Hmmmm. Imagine that.

But then this appears on Channel 7 the exact same day:

  • Thirty-seven convicted criminal aliens were arrested in the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana in a three-day sweep.

    U.S. immigration officials say the 31 of the fugitives had convictions for crimes ranging from battery to murder. Twelve had been ordered to leave the country but failed to do so; and six had been deported before by re-entered illegally, which is a felony.

    The fugitives, all male, are from four countries -- 34 from Mexico and one each from Poland, Guatemala and Trinidad.

So the feds are still doing their thing, but we can't assist in any way. It's all so confusing.

What is this about? ThePolice WILL NOT cooperate with Federal Warrants.The new ordinance also codifies the policy that police will not cooperate with federal warrants for people when their suspected status as illegal immigrants is the only reason the warrant has been issued.

Our "undocumented immigrant" relatives who came to America learned the English language, and worked respectful jobs, and earned money, and paid bills and paid taxes, and cut their lawn, and bathed w deoderant soap, and respected their neighbor, and respected law enforcement, and didn't break the law, and went out of their way to go thru the legal process and became US citizens.

Can you show me that nowadays?

Keep inviting people who break the law, Mr Mayor. It's working out so well!

Don't worry we can always raise taxes on the middle class to pay for the illegals medical needs, education and incarceration. The Middle Class has plenty to give, our families don't need it.

I remember when Arizona cracked down. There was a story with pictures of an illegal family. They were quoted saying that they were moving to Chicago because it was a Sanctuary City. Great job, Rahm.

Anyone who does or has worked in areas with large Polish communities knows these guys can be treacherous and generally have little disregard for our police. They like to fight, and are tough MFers. Plenty of problems caused by them, from drug rings, car thefts and burglary crews. They are a problem, but everyone seems to immediately think "Mexican" when they here illegal alien.

What really makes me scratch my head is why the county lets any undocumented alien arrested for a felony out on bond. Maybe it saves money for the court system, since they know the suspects will flee.

Those "newly minted" inhabitants of our fair city cannot vote for their "benefactor" (POTUS) if they are being "detained" and at this juncture he needs all the help (votes) he can get from any source he can whether legal or otherwise.
That used to be called "pandering" for votes with a chicken or a pint of muscatel or five dollars. I don't know what it is called now but the results are usually the same
that the do-nothing incumbent gets to hold on to a do-nothing high paying and influence-generating job in federal, state or local government. And it is so sad that some people will sell out their future for a simple chicken dinner or something of lesser value that they "crave" at the time. Think hard about that last sentence and you can just about figure it out. I don't want to cause
SCC's Blog any unecessary grief. So use your imagination.

Bullshit.

B. Shrug. "No know." "No speak." "Me no see." "Wha joo say?"

There.

Saw two cars collide.

7 occupants of veh. A immediately remove license plates and pile in on top of 9 occupants of veh. B, which drives away, leaving veh. A sideways on arterial street.

"Co-operation."

At least THEY'RE all in this together. I don't know about anyone else...

You could stop this "Sanctuary City" crap overnight.

No cooperation with federal government, NO FEDERAL MONEY. FOR ANYTHING.

They used this to force politically-correct holidays on states that didn't like them -- you'd think it could be used to help prevent the destruction of our society.

It's obvious that they desire the destruction of our society.

Of course he knows. This is intentional. Rahm's particular pressure group has been pushing immigration like crazy for over 100 years now. It's well-documented.

The goal of "multiculturalism" is to create a diluted, fragmented, contentious society that will never rise up as one and eject Rahm And Co.

Rahm is not a student of history. Most of Europe has already cracked down on illegal immigration leniency. Europe had a mass influx of people who were mostly from North Africa and Arab country's. They strained the system, sucking up free healthcare etc. Stay tuned Chicago. It has only begun.

Children of illegals born here are automatically U.S. citizens.

When they grow up and vote, guess who they'll vote for because their parents were allowed to stay here.
