Mayor Sylvester Turner Issues Statement on Immigration
“HPD is not the Immigration and Naturalization Service.”
Read between the lines here. This mayor’s statement is for local political consumption there in TX. No, his cops will not ask citizenship questions, but as far as honoring INS detainers, if Houston would lose fed $ if they did not, HPD will certainly honor IRS hold requests.
Mayor of Houston. Just do your job. Enforce the laws of the Country and your State. That is what you are there for!
And when they try to re-enter, send them to Gitmo.
so, the lines are drawn
The question becomes will the president evade an injunction and continue to with hold funds during the years before the matter comes to trial?
Then NO $oup Money for you !!
1) Stop all federal dollars going to Houston.
2) Declare martial law, administered by the US DoJ.
3) Jail the mayor, city council, and police chief.
Everyone else will fall into line pretty quickly.
Come to America legally. Follow the laws. Its that simple.
But libs think they are superior. They get to create right and wrong as they wish.
I am old enough to remember when Democrats stood on the court house steps vowing to fight desegregation. They were pandering to their voters then as they are pandering now.
The hurt has not yet begun. I am waiting to see if they are willing to live up to their convictions after the money spigot gets turned off.
And yes, those that are in this country illegally should be afraid. Afraid that they will be caught and they will be deported. I want them so afraid that they will not even try to get on the welfare rolls let alone try to vote.
It is not where you are from but how you get here that determines how welcome you are.
So you will do WITHOUT both Federal and State monies.
Here’s a question for our attorney Freepers: If an official or officer varies from his/her oath of office,or acts beyond his/her area of responsibility, wouldn’t he/she lose his/her immunity?
Smoking the traitors out into the open.
If people get hurt or killed because of this mayor’s refusal to followed the law, family members should have the right to sue him and the city!
Sylvester Turner is like most big City democrat mayors — old, black and stupid. If we had border controls it would be bad for two major Houston industries: importation and distribution of narcotics and the sex slave traffic.
I watched the you tube where Trey Gowdy intellectually shredded a Baton Rouge official because they are not asking suspects about immigration status. Stick with plan A and impose a 1million dollar fine for every quarter that companies do not use e verify. Then a 10 thousand dollar fine for every illegal employed to recover the cost of ICE investigations.No jobs and out they go. In CO and CA you could offer coupons for “medical marijuana” for information on illegals. Any time a previously deported illegal was caught, drop him in Cartel City, naked. Just kidding about that last part.
“restored both the Immigration and Nationality Act Section 287(g) and the Secure Communities Program, which are used to compel local law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration law.”
Local governments cannot be drafted to carry out federal laws. That includes counties, sheriffs and Indian tribes. All these government units are sovereigns according to English common law. The USSC has reaffirmed this numerous times, with the most recent decision being Mack v US.
Can the federal government “compel” local governments by withholding federal money? I don’t know but would guess the answer is yes.
If you like your Sanctuary City, you can keep your Sanctuary City.
You want local cooperation on illegals? Cut off all federal grants to local PDs, and replace that with bounties for each illegal criminal caught and turned over for deportation.
With all these Mayors mouthing off, Trump needs to take one of them to the woodshed. Set an example.
