ICE Chief Lists Worst Sanctuary Cities

>>160933

He also singled out San Francisco and New York, both victimized by violent criminals.

"San Francisco. How soon they forget," he said in a reference to the July 1, 2015, slaying of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle on city pier 14 by an illegal immigrant.

"Let's talk about New York City, the site of the most horrific terrorist event in this nation's history, and they don't accept our detainers," he said.

"New York City, they're proud of being a sanctuary city," Homan said.

"These jurisdictions, these cities, are choosing to shield people who violated the laws of this country that committed a crime against this country; they're going to shield them. So, what's next? Sanctuary cities for people who don't want to pay their taxes?" he asked.

Homan targeted his words at politicians, noting that police and sheriffs in many sanctuaries want to help ICE.

"The street cops that I talk to want to help. It's the politicians who want to make this a political game. It's not a political game. This is a matter of public safety and life and death we shouldn't be playing politics with this," he said.

So when will Trump cut federal funding to these cities? It needs to happen.

>So when will Trump cut federal funding to these cities? It needs to happen.

Implying the "independent" and "non-political" court system won't prevent him from doing that because it's "racist"....

>>160939
So when will these sanctuary cities stop sending in the bulk of the tax revenue?

>>160966
So now in addition to harboring illegal aliens, you want them to commit mass tax fraud? Libs sure do like themselves some crime.

>>160966
And here I thought Democrats were supposed to oppose the rich getting special treatment.

>>160939
Most of those cities are putting more into the system than they're taking out, if feds pull funding, they stop sending revenue to the feds.
That's why it will never happen.

>>160989
Fine, then just pass a law empowering ICE agents to enter any jail and requiring LEO to check immigration status of detainees and report illegals.

>>160967
>>160987
Flyover states confirmed

>>160992
Good luck, there's more than 3 GOP senators who still believe in State's Rights to prevent that from happening.

>>160939

Trump can't cut all federal funding. That power lies with Congress. He can withhold certain grant money which Sessions is doing;

The courts have no power over that.

>>160966

It's adorable you think those large blue cities aren't a net drain when it comes to federal tax dollars.

nice comeback *thumb up*

He can't. He above all else wants to create jobs and a more vibrant economy. Illinois is on the vanguard of states verging on financial collapse. If Chicago goes bankrupt, it drags Illinois down with it. Then, the next great depression really will be close at hand. There are other ways of reigning them. Give Trump's team a bit of time.

ICE doesn't have much credibility.

For one, undocumented crime rate is evidently lower than documented folks in the US https://www.cato.org/blog/immigration-crime-what-research-says
>First, there are good theoretical reasons to
believe that immigrants should be involved in crime to a greater degree than natives. For example, immigrants face acculturation problems that natives do not, and immigrants tend to settle in disorganized neighborhoods characterized by deleterious structural conditions such as poverty, ethnic heterogeneity, a preponderance of young males, and possibly more criminal opportunities in the form of gangs. Also, the cultural codes of immigrants may conflict with the legal codes constructed by native groups. Despite these and other reasons to expect high levels of immigrant crime, the bulk of empirical studies conducted over the past century have found that immigrants are usually underrepresented in criminal statistics. There are variations to this general finding, but these appear to be linked more to differences in structural conditions across areas where immigrants settle than to the cultural traditions of the immigrant groups. Local context appears to be the central influence shaping the criminal involvement of both immigrants and natives, although in many cases, immigrants seem more able to withstand crime-facilitating conditions than native groups

Second off, forcing local police to assist with immigration enforcement instead of just keeping the peace is known to discourage people from reporting crimes when they live in a household with an undocumented migrant.

fuck liberals, justice is coming

Alot of what you're saying sounds like bull

Here's a simple version of what he's saying: if you were an illegal and you witnessed a crime, would you report it knowing that the local police department might figure out you're an illegal and report you to ICE? If, on the other hand, you knew the local PD could legally ignore ICE, would you report the crime? From the local PD's perspective, it makes sense to ignore ICE because your job is to reduce crime, and simply letting ICE suck up all the illegals isn't a guarantee to actually reduce crime (since the criminals can be natives picking on easy targets, aka illegal immigrants who are afraid to report anything).

Remember that historically organized crime rose in immigrant neighborhoods (both illegal and legal) because the residents didn't trust local PD (for a variety of reasons, from bad experiences with law enforcement in the old country to the new cops being assholes). If the local cops couldn't be trusted, then nobody could enforce the law. This power vacuum let mob "protection" take the place of proper law enforcement, and then shit just spiraled out from there. You also see the same shit in non-immigrant neighborhoods where cops aren't trusted.

Local police need to be trusted or they can't enforce order. Big city PD's think sanctuary laws will help them build that trust in immigrant neighborhoods. Of course said neighborhoods could already have such a huge deficient of trust that it won't help and they're wasting their (and ICE's) time, but until an actual study on the effectiveness of sanctuary laws comes out I'll reserve judgement. The logic appears sound, but god knows if sound logic actually works out in the field where there's a lot more variables.

>undocumented crime rate is evidently lower than documented folks in the US

What kind of retard must you to be to believe this? Uh, hello? EVERY ILLEGAL IS COMMITTING A CRIME EVERY DAY THEY ARE HERE!

>>161103

Because it's 100% horseshit. "muh poverty explains crime" then explain why basketball americans commit violent crime at twice the rate of burrito americans considering their poverty rate is identical?

if they are not refugees?
why are the not deported?

unless those prisons re-release them to get them back for a second extra bounty?

>The courts have no power over that.

Sure they can and they have done so.

The courts shut down Trump’s “Muslim ban” even though the President has the legal power to control immigration.

>>161072
>For one, undocumented crime rate is evidently lower than documented folks in the US

In the first place, illegal immigrant communities don’t report crimes as readily as the native legal population, due to mistrust of the authorities, language / cultural differences and flat out acceptance of a certain level of (organized) crime within their communities just as it is back home, which legal natives citizens simply won’t accept.

Secondly, regardless of the crime levels among immigrants in comparison to others, it’s still _more_ crimes on top of the existing native crime rate and this increases costs while spreading resources thin and decreasing the effectiveness of policing efforts.

>The logic appears sound, but god knows if sound logic actually works out in the field where there's a lot more variables.

The logic isn't sound, as the crimes committed by illegal aliens is in addition to the crimes committed by legal citizens.

I.e. if the illegal immigrants weren't here, their crimes wouldn't be here either.

Fewer illegal aliens = fewer illegal aliens crimes, leaving more resources for dealing with the crimes committed by actual Americans.

And don't forget the added overall increase in costs to American society by illegal aliens, 70%+ of whom receive some kinda tax payer funded welfare.

>>161113
They shouldnt be here in the first place. The situation youre describing is moot.

Everything, every problem described could end with this statement:

They shouldn't be here. Deport them.

There. Problem solved. No more police issues, yadayada.
