ITHACA, N.Y. -- After nearly two hours of public comment and at least 30 speakers in favor of a newly proposed ordinance, Ithaca's Common Council unanimously voted to add teeth to its Sanctuary City policy, which was first passed in 1985, for Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees

City officials, including police officers, are now specifically directed to not ask for a person's immigration status unless the person is actively committing a crime related to their status. The legal ordinance means that local law enforcement will not enforce federal immigration laws.

Um, isn't just being here illegally a crime related to their status?

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Put up huge billboards on the border listing the cities and the addresses of the mayors and city council members who voted for this.

These officials should be charged criminally with harboring illegal aliens.

Ithaca is the most liberal city in America by some estimates. The voters there will love this.

Simple solution.

Start exclusively settling refugees in Ithaca.

That seems like a good idea until you realize that the refugees will quickly infect the rest of the area, the bulk of which is rural and conservative.

Incoming refugees or illegal aliens should ONLY be settled in sanctuary cities. Outside of those cities, any visa that they may possess is null and void.

They aren't supposed to enforce federal law, just comply with federal detainer requests. Would these anarchist council members support sanctuary against federal child labor laws? EPA regulations? Fair housing law?

Spit.

They’ve been living with pretty high crime rates and still vote for thus cr@p.

What might put paid to it: If someone victimized by an illegal alien living in Ithaca sues the city for damages. And the city’s insurers respond accordingly.

Ok by me. No federal funds for Ithaca means more funds for law abiding communities. Starve the beast!

Ithaca - Home of Cornell University with undoubtedly millions and millions of dollars in federal grants. All those poor lefty professors and their graduate students are really gonna take it in the shorts on this one.

Wouldn't being present in the country be a crime related to their status?
