Trump Wants to Bus Migrants to Sanctuary Cities. The Mayors There Are Fine With It.
An elaborate attempt to troll liberal politicians seems to have hit a snag.

President Donald Trump may have assumed that his proposal to release undocumented immigrants into so-called “sanctuary cities” would back Democrats into a corner on the issue of immigration. But the local officials in those cities he’s targeting don’t seem to actually find the prospect all that foreboding.

Instead, when asked about the plan—which would entail bussing migrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border to be released in cities that do not cooperate with federal law enforcement to arrest undocumented immigrants—mayors of major cities, regional capitals and medium-sized towns told The Daily Beast said that they would welcome those currently being detained.

“The city would be prepared to welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for decades,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney told The Daily Beast in a statement. “This White House plan demonstrates the utter contempt that the Trump administration has for basic human dignity and the core values on which this nation was founded.”

“As a welcoming city, we would welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees, just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a statement.

“I am proud that Cambridge is a sanctuary city,” Mayor Marc McGovern of Cambridge, Massachusetts, told The Daily Beast. “Trump is a schoolyard bully who tries to intimidate and threaten people. I’m not intimidated and if asylum seekers find their way to Cambridge, we’ll welcome them.”

3. this will so backfire on Trump, because the sanctuary cities will probably do what they can

to reconnect families and allow them to move out of state for the reunions.

5. I think it is backfiring

I don't think he expected the mayor's to tell him to bring it on.

4. He was probably told

his RWNJ supporters would shoot these migrants and it might be awkward politically.

7. Why not? more people more benefit $$$ from federal govt!

It is a win-win for sanctuary cities. And those undocumented immigrants commit less crimes than US born Americans, so crime rates should fall in sanctuary cities.

8. So Trump is giving de facto amnesty to undocumented immigrants! Cool!

We have a worker shortage in San Francisco & we're a Sanctuary City in a Sanctuary State. Thanks, Trump!

I bet Trump would hate it if he heard this.
