Mayor de Blasio: NYC Being a Sanctuary City Keeps Terrorism at Bay

“President Trump’s latest threat changes nothing. We will remain a city welcoming of immigrants, who have helped make our city the safest big city in the nation,” de Blasio said. “Any attempt to cut NYPD funding for the nation’s top terror target will be aggressively fought in court. We won’t back down from protecting New Yorkers from terror – or from an overzealous administration fixated on xenophobia and needless division.”

IOW, "We want to have our cake and eat it, too."

"Dad, you cannot cut off my allowance just because I came home at 3am, drunk, and drove into the side of the garage in your new car! Oh, and since I turned 15 yesterday, can I get my Learners Permit today?"

This is useless info. Which Bay? Upper, Lower, Flushing?

Bill has people working 24/7 to come up with these lame ideas.He needs to hire a better grade of idiot.

[Lurkinanloomin]

One has to be an insane liberal to believe that

[martinidon]

It is a shame the liberals have blurred the lines between criminal illegal aliens, illegal aliens and legal immigrants. I feel like I live in a twilight zone when I hear these liberal politicians try to justify not cooperating with ICE detainers on incarcerated illegal aliens. I don't care if it is a misdemeanor or felony, if they have broken the law (besides being in the country illegally) they need to go from jail to detention center for deportation.

[xzins]

If the city is trying someone for mirder and also the fed, in any other case the city will hold the suspect for the fed once their case is complete.

But not for an illegal.

Total insanity. Sessions is right. The sanctuary politicians are the ones changing a sane process that has been in place for forever.

[Tennessee Nana]

Well if it kept terrorism confined to the liberal areas of NYC that would be hunky, but regular people live in NYC also...they don’t deserve to suffer and die for the “compassionate liberalism” of Mayor Khans twin bro...

[Nuc 1.1]

If I violate federal law I get arrested. It seems dimocrats can violate federal law with impunity. Arrest sanctuary city pols that are in rebellion, put em on trial, convict them, and jail them.

[VTenigma]

That right there is some twisted pretzel logic.

[Nuc 1.1]

When they do get hit again I will not send them a dime. No help. Nothing. Let the commies they elect protect them.

[RetiredTexasVet]

“... Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed that New York is at risk of terror if AG Sessions cuts federal funding for sanctuary cities.”

Another moron like Bloomberg ... consequences fool, consequences!

[Bryan24]

Dear Mayor de Blasio,

You can be an illegal sanctuary city, or you can keep your Federal anti-terrorism funds. You can’t do both. Choose wisely.

Your friend,
The American Taxpayer and US Citizen

[Grampa Dave]

Suicidal and only the MSM keeps him viable as da Mayor!

[Grampa Dave]

Nah. Cut off their federal funding and let the rats eat each other up!

[Sacajaweau]

So the Towers are still be there...right?? And there’s no cops in the streets with weapons right???....just a whistle...right?

[jimjohn]

Oh, there’s a new tower there. Quite beautiful, actually...

... but you should see how the friendly, neighborhood ‘constables’ are decked out nearby. Being a sanctuary city and all, they clearly aren’t worried about a terrorist incident.

(I can’t make a sarcasm tag big enough)

[zzwhale]

idiot mayor....
explain the “logic” and facts cause there is none readily apparent...
what a jackass

[eyeamok]

This is Great, then make ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS in the State Personally Financially Responsible for Compensation to any Citizen or Legal resident that can demonstrate an Injury or Loss at the hands of an Illegal Alien.

[DennisR]

They are not rational...
