Fifty-three Democratic members of the House and Senate signed a letter of protest against Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ plan to withhold federal law-enforcement aid from cities that flout US immigration laws.
Signer Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill) complained that “Sessions is only making a bad situation worse. Even with the federal aid Chicago is a virtual combat zone with dozens of shootings every week. He should be backing gun-control legislation, not insisting on the enforcement of immigration laws that would end up deporting felons who are in the country illegally.”
Sessions called the letter “an endorsement of illegality. We have laws that prescribe the approved procedures for persons to enter this country. If these senators and representatives have objections to these laws the proper way for them to respond is to work to repeal them, not to support local governments that defy these laws. The number of incidents where cities have shielded illegal aliens from this law only to see these people go on to commit heinous crimes ought to have given pause to their rash demand that we continue to tolerate the ill-considered practice of coddling these threats to the safety of law-abiding citizens.”
Durbin countered Sessions by pointing out that “not all the crimes committed by those given sanctuary can be accurately described as heinous. Many are mere crimes against property. In other instances the victims survive the attempted murder or assault. Even when they don’t survive, the toll taken by those shielded by sanctuary is small compared to the carnage perpetrated by native citizens.”

To tell you the truth, with the exception of what is happening on the Illegal Alien front, I believe more and more every day that Sessions is a deep plant for the Ruling Class. Otherwise I see no reason whatsoever why the following people can see the light of day
Bill and Hillary Clinton
Loretta Lynch
Eric Holder
Brennan
Clapper
Susan Rice
Blabber Mouth Shulz
Comey
Abedin
Podesta
the list is rather Long of ADMITTED FELONS so I will stop here.
“Many are mere crimes against property.”
It is incredible they can say this with a straight face.
Dems are always going to push amnesty/non-enforcement because they end up administering the districts abandoned by working, taxpaying Americans. Without illegals there would be massive ghost towns, with scattered welfarians flitting about.
I live near Newark NJ, and it appears the Hispanics are needed in that city to prepare the fast food for the welfare population.
Koskinen
WINNING !!!
Really? ONLY 53? What happened to the rest of them?
Democrats = treasonous morons
