He thinks that's a threat??? Well, fuck that punk ass. We'll take all of them and then he and his shitball family can get right the hell out. I'm plenty sure each and every one of those immigrants would bring more to the fabric of the city than his clan of thieves ever has.


edit:you know I'm not shy about cussing, but this trump and his ilk have destroyed my filter. I can't speak of, or about him/them, in reasonable language anymore.

re-re-re edit:removed the b word.. sorry about that

[cilla4progress]

15. Right here with you!

👍👍👍👍👍🤗

[lunatica]

37. It would be an effective way of getting rid of the MAGATs!

Hopefully they wouldn’t be caught dead in a sanctuary city!

One stone, two birds...!

Win win.

[OMGWTF]

47. I have Trump Tourettes Syndrome too. Mo Fker brings it out like no one else ever has.

[Stuart G]

2. Beautiful...k and r.

[Iliyah]

3. K & R

[LakeArenal]

4. The Pukes are so crazy to think that is punishment.

Let ‘em in!!!!

[treestar]

26. Exactly, it is crazy

They believe we think the way they do?

[dawg day]

5. That's beautiful.

Inspiring.

[DeminPennswoods]

6. Yes, please give us the chance to show America

at its best.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Somebody had better show that to Sean Spicer and the Fox cult.

I saw him on one of the TVs at the gym this morning. He was on the Propaganda Channel, claiming that Trump "called the Democrats' bluff" on the issue. That's some bluff-calling, eh? I can't wait until they hear the replies from the various mayors, who remind us all that cities have no walls, and that these people will be free to leave at their will.

[KPN]

14. That's how idiotically small their minds are. They actually do think this is "calling a bluff".

[GoCubsGo]

24. Yeah, tell me about it.

They have bizarre notions about what it is to "own" someone, too. Such as when Candace Owens threw a tantrum after Ted Lieu played her own words back to her. That's considered "owning him." Alrighty then.

[orangecrush]

8. BRAVO!!!

[benfranklin1776]

9. Hell yes!

Time to remind these neocofederate traitors of the principles this country stands for by putting them into action.

[CaptYossarian]

10. Let's take in all the brown ones and deport the damn orange ones.

[Scarsdale]

11. Can we be sure that the gop or Russia

is not behind this flood of refugees? Seems strange that suddenly they are coming in caravans towards the US border. Is there a publication in their countries encouraging them with promises of some sort? I would not put it past tRump and his enablers doing that, to cause problems. I do not know what their agenda would be, but I am suspicious.

[A Brand New World]

23. That is what I am thinking. This is suspicious that all of a sudden there is such an influx of

caravans of families. Particularly now that it is known about the separation policy. A bit of tin foil skepticism.

[dchill]

12. That's exactly the right response!

[KPN]

13. I hope every major newspaper, mayor and city council in every major city in blue States across

America say this very same thing!

[ginnyinWI]

17. The mayor of Seattle said the same thing in an op-ed in WaPo.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/seattle-isnt-afraid-of-immigrants-mr-trump/2019/04/12/f26c370e-5d5e-11e9-9625-01d48d50ef75_story.html?utm_term=.081d15e8d03e&wpisrc=nl_opinions&wpmm=1

Here’s a message to President Trump: Seattle is not afraid of immigrants and refugees. In fact, we have always welcomed people who have faced tremendous hardships around the world. Immigrants and refugees are part of Seattle’s heritage, and they will continue to make us the city of the future.

What does scare us? A president and federal government that would seek to weaponize a law enforcement agency to punish perceived political enemies. A would-be despot who thinks the rule of law does not apply to him.

On Friday, Trump took to Twitter to confirm a Post report that the White House wants to place detained immigrants in so-called sanctuary cities represented by Democrats.

In doing so, he trotted out his favorite playbook: He is demonizing immigrants and refugees to incite fear and to distract the American public from his own failures. Despite his party having control of the whole federal government for two years, Trump has utterly failed to fix our immigration system, to provide real opportunity for middle America or to improve the lives of the Americans in the places that supported him.

[KPN]

31. Yay!!!

[Auggie]

16. WOW!

[33taw]

18. Portland, Ore said they would welcome them as well.

[trev]

27. Hell, yeah, we will!

[CharleyDog]

39. We welcome them! And Dumpo Dementia: don't harass them. We will take care of them, you keep

your shitty hands off them. And don't encourage your White Nationalist goons to harm them or us. Since you're such a bad president, just stay out of our way, fade away into your sick bed, go to jail, or sit in your own excrement, whatevs.

[safeinOhio]

19. Have your State declare a State Emergency and

use Eminent Domain to use all golf courses in the state the state to house those crossing the boarder.

[FakeNoose]

52. That works for me, I'm not a golfer anyway

We have a lot of courses and country clubs closing up here in Pennsylvania. Way too many of them compared to who's playing golf now. It seems the properties are worth a lot more to the developers than they are to the golfers.

By the way we still have LOTS of room in Pennsylvania, and immigrants would be welcome here. I can't speak for all of our cities but Pittsburgh has many thriving immigrant communities and neighborhoods.

[Ferryboat]

20. Time to walk the talk

Live in Seattle metro area where we have a tremendous homeless problem. Politicians throwing millions of dollars at a problem that is difficult to solve.

Much rather see money spent on supporting refugees escaping from drug cartels and systemic corruption in the hopes of a better life.

[Cold War Spook]

44. I can only speak for myself.

After the army, I was homeless for almost three years. I had been diagnosed in the army as schizoid after one visit to the psychiatrist. I enjoyed being homeless, living where I wanted. The late 60s was a much better time to be homeless. I am just saying that there are many reasons people are homeless. This makes finding the ones that really need help difficult.

[roscoeroscoe]

54. Important point

Thanks for your note on this

[mcar]

21. Bravo!

[flying_wahini]

22. The sound of assholes in Texas clamping tight. If they don't have "illegals" in Texas

Who will build our roads, schools and malls? Nobody.

[treestar]

25. Yep:

[bmbmd]

51. Thanks for that-

Outstanding.

[CharleyDog]

40. who will run the slaughterhouses? Who will plant and pick the food? Who will be maids and

waitresses. Who will mow the lawns? Who will be elderly caretakers? When immigrants have a chance they go to school to become nurses and teachers, start businesses and grow the economy.

[elleng]

28. YES!

I grew up in NYC, learned Emma Lazarus' poem when I was YOUNG, and have ALWAYS thought of us this way.

[BadgerMom]

29. Yesterday on Daily Kos

There was a post on the Rec List written by someone who explained why she thought the tactic of sending those at the border to sanctuary cities might be part of a Trump/Miller plan to urge MAGA creatures to attack people in those cities. It got lots of attention. It was, without question, CT. It was convincingly laid out. I’m sorry I don’t have the link. After I post, I’ll try to include it on edit.

The post, though, does make me look at the current open-armed welcome of the sanctuary cities with a somewhat fearful eye. Welcome is the proper response. I just hope that the mayors and governors involved have plans for a situation in which the federal government (Trump and Miller) overwhelm the cities and their support systems and services. In a normal pre-2017 America, agencies would work together to address an issue. Now the federal government is looking to harm large parts of the population.

Preparations should be made.

Here’s the link:

[nolabear]

30. There's a creepy video from KOMO (Sinclair) in Seattle on the homeless.

It's called Seattle is Dying and uses all the stagecraft they have to depict homelessness in Seattle as dangerous, disgusting and destructive. Granted we have a real problem, but they offer nothing by way of helpful solution. I can't help but wonder if some of this is to stoke fear of the poor, the needy, those that "socialism" would help. I think the refugee is put in this same category and they're trying to destroy any hint of compassion we might have.

Let them come.

[Mopar151]

32. Really sad, that they make us fear ourselves!!!

The old, predatory capatilist tailfeather of politics has been "working" this theme since the late '20's by my reckoning. Sinclair is one of their scummier manifestations.

[nolabear]

43. The good news, Mayor Durkin was on MSNBC about his stupid tweet

Her take: BRING IT! We welcome the opportunity to help. 😍

[Scurrilous]

33. K&R

[paleotn]

34. I just don't get his line of reasoning..

Maybe that's the problem. I'm trying to apply reasoning to the actions of racist sociopaths. So, he's going to send them to the cities they were most likely head for anyway and may already have family there. Many have growing economies and need the help. And that's a way to punish who? how? Is this a case of him actually believing his own bullshit that they're all drug runners and murderers?

[CharleyDog]

41. he thinks it will sow chaos and be crippling for the state's finances.

He hopes it will cause race war, or white guys to shoot up the place.

[kag]

35. I called my Repuke senator last night and said the same thing.

I told him Colorado considers itself a "sanctuary state" and to send them all up here. Just get rid of the asshole in the whitehouse!

I. AM. NOT. AFRAID. OF. IMMIGRANTS. AND. REFUGEES!

[Maraya1969]

36. I wonder if Trump remembers that he lives in NY and will end up back there eventually

[CharleyDog]

42. by then he will be living in a nursing home cared for by an immigrant who sings him lullabies

lullabies in Spanish.

[IronLionZion]

49. New yorkers definitely don't want him back

That's why he has to go to Florida instead

[Honeycombe8]

38. That would be a mess and cost the city a fortune.

Costs to provide food assistance and other aid, a large influx of low-skilled workers all at once might impact the employment of low-skilled New York citizen workers. It's asking a lot to take in a lot of illegal immigrants all at once. (Of course, Trump means also the criminal aspect, that there would be a spike in crimes. Like gangstas coming in with tattoos and ARs and knives.)

But if New Yorkers are willing to take that on, more power to them. (I'm pretty sure my red state won't be volunteering for that.)

Sounds like Trump is getting tired of the situation and is frustrated with the handling requirements and the cost. He's gotten himself into a quagmire.

[pdsimdars]

45. Yes, it's true, the Right Wing has NO IDEA what America is fundamentally all about.

They're way too interested in looking the mirror and thinking only of themselves.

[wryter2000]

46. Send some to Oaktown, please

We'll get them some help.

[IronLionZion]

48. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

[Doreen]

50. Wait a minute, so he is

telling us he is going to send us the people we are trying to help and hide in the first damn place? So, all of the immigrants he and his ilk arrested and removed to concentration camp are being given back? What a f****n putz.

[locks]

53. I remember well when we took in

thousands of Vietnamese, Russian Jews, Cubans, Lost Boys, Haitians, Muslims, Bosnians, Middle Easterners and on and on for the very good reason that our most of our country and the world believe in asylum and rescue. If there are Americans who no longer care I cannot imagine what will happen if they or someone they love will ever be emigrants.

[DangerousRhythm]

55. This cover made me tear up.

I love my home state. ❤️

[Dorian Gray]

56. I'm down.
