Mayor Baraka on #Trump apparently wanting to make santuary cities into "fugitive slave catchers" https://t.co/1eJOpLy0CS #PoliticsNation — PoliticsNation (@PoliticsNation) April 2, 2017
Newark, N.J. Mayor Ras Baraka (D) in an interview early Sunday said the Trump administration’s threat to withhold federal funding from so-called sanctuary cities is an attempt to intimidate local officials into becoming “fugitive slave catchers.”
“I think that them targeting sanctuary cities is a way for them to tell mayors and other folks around the country: one, that they’re sticking to what, I think, is a very unconstitutional, un-American policy and trying to intimidate us into being what I’ve called ‘fugitive slave catchers’ that run around and do their bidding in our cities,” Baraka said on “PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton” on MSNBC.
“And if we refuse to do that, then it makes it difficult for them to continue their policy because they don’t have the resources to run down all the undocumented residents locally,” Baraka added.

These people seem very bitter that they weren’t raised in the slave era. The ultimate victimization in their tiny minds, I guess.
Democrats use Illegal Invaders as Slaves?
I did not know that.
This country has a border and immigration laws like every other effing country in the world and the federal government has an obligation to maintain that border and to enforce those laws and no GD POS democrat mayor has a right to change that and this SOB should be arrested and thrown in prison with the rest of the nation’s criminals if he continues to defy the law.
Weirdly messed up.
Illegals are the closet thing today that there is to slave labor. And the liberals love it.
What about all the murdered and raped citizens in his city by illegals?
Does he have duty to protect them?
This Mayor uses this metaphor simply for the visceral effect. It makes no sense but he thinks his constituency will react emotionally.
No, Mr. Mayor.
He’s endeavoring to turn your cesspool of a sanctuary city into a sanitary city.
Dems are trying to make immigration enforcement the slavery issue of modern times. Ironic that the Dems were the slavers and the first Republican president defeated them to force them to free the slaves.
Stupid mayors are letting criminals go free.
A friend recently lost a driver’s license in a cab.
They have to totally turn their lives upside down to counter identity fraud.
An illegal will likely falsely use that license and any other info gained.
If I did that I would go to jail. They don’t want us even to consider it a crime if it’s an illegal.
Insane hypocrisy and double standard.
Today’s illegal alien coddlers are an amazing historical match for the slave owners of the pre-Civil War era.
Except the slave owners paid to feed and clothe and house their own slaves, rather than offloading those costs to the public at large.
Trump administration’s threat to withhold federal funding from so-called sanctuary cities is an attempt to intimidate local officials into becoming “fugitive slave catchers.”
Well the next step is a Federal Indictment for Conspiracy to Violate Immigration LAW. It should have been the FIRST MOVE by AG Sessions.
Another racist democrat.
That’s it, exactly. It’s to shut up poor blacks who complain that illegals are stealing all their jobs.
Um, Mr. Mayor? YOU are the one letting them in! YOU need to clean up your mess and protect your citizenry.
What is so hard to understand about this?!?!
But you’ll gladly take the Federal taxpayers $$$, won’t you Mr Mayor?
Did this jughead just call the Mexican Nationals a bunch of “slaves”? Yikes. What a moron.
Newark run out of Americans to elect as mayor, did they?
