“Sanctuary cities” are so virulently against President Trump that they are willing to put the well-being of American citizens at stake.
Sanctuary Cities Vow to Make ‘1 Million Immigrants’ Citizens to Oppose Trump
And taxpayers are given no option but to pay for unvetted migrants and absorb whatever damage ensues from these irresponsible decisions that threaten innocent people, all because of a deranged hatred for Trump. According to a pro-migrant campaign “Naturalize NOW”:
“At a time when xenophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric has inundated the presidential campaign trail,” the group’s mission statement reads, “we must empower the immigrant community so that their voices may be heard at the polls.”
It would seem that the “immigrant community” only comprises of unvetted migrants to the exclusion of all others, since their vote is being sought by corrupted leaders at the expense of national security and economic reason. Such leaders are sacrificing freedom so that migrant voices can be “heard at the polls.”
“Sanctuary Cities Vow to Make ‘1 Million Immigrants’ Citizens to Oppose Trump”, by Tim Donnelly, Breitbart, July 4, 2017:
“Sanctuary cities” across the country are pledging to make one million immigrants into U.S. citizens this year, partly as a response to the policies of President Donald Trump.
According to the Washington Examiner, the initiative is being pushed by a group called “Naturalize NOW!”—which is tying its campaign to patriotic American holidays like the Fourth of July.
Announced on Flag Day, the Examiner reports:
[t]he ‘Naturalize NOW!’ campaign, which includes liberal and progressive groups and elected officials, heralded the mayors of the cities in joining the national effort.
Among the cities cited in an Independence Day notice from Mi Familia: Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Cleveland, OH; Charlotte, NC; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; Dayton, OH; Jersey City, NJ; Knoxville, TN; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Miami-Dade County, FL; Montgomery County, MD; Paterson, NJ; Pittsburgh, PA; New York City, NY; Salt Lake County, UT; San Francisco, CA; Seattle, CA; South Gate, CA & Tucson, AZ.
Most of these jurisdictions are sanctuary cities and counties.
Los Angeles, which has long been a “sanctuary city” under a local ordinance known as “Special Order 40,” has been in the hot seat nationally ever since President Trump publicly befriended Jamiel Shaw, Sr. Shaw’s 17-year-old son with the same name was gunned down by an illegal alien gang member released onto the streets of LA instead of being turned over to federal authorities for deportation.
The mayor of Los Angeles, home to millions of legal and illegal aliens, is an enthusiastic supporter of the Naturalize Now! campaign:
“We celebrate our independence on July 4, and honor the values of freedom, justice, unity, and equality that make us who we are,” Garcetti reportedly said. “Los Angeles joined the Naturalize NOW campaign because those principles are still worth fighting for — and to encourage eligible Angelenos and people across the country to seek a path toward citizenship and join the American family.”
According to the “Naturalize NOW!” website, the campaign to make 1 million new citizens (and presumably voters) is motivated in large part by a desire to shield the immigrant community from the policies of President Trump.
“At a time when xenophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric has inundated the presidential campaign trail,” the group’s mission statement reads, “we must empower the immigrant community so that their voices may be heard at the polls.”…..

I often visit Dayton Ohio. It is a declining mid-western rust belt city, that has been losing business and population for 40 years due to globalist de-industrialization. The local oligarchs are desperate to replace the lost population; they have declared Dayton a sanctuary city, and welcome all immigrants, regardless of legal status.
eagle Nest says
I hope Dayton Ohio have wealthy taxpayers to cover their living expenses and the burdens placed on the local law enforcement. Oh, right, the government will be expected to pay for this. I don’t want my tax money supporting law breakers.President Trump has it right. No money for anyone supporting Sanctuary cities.
john spielman says
IT is the US FEDERAL govt NOT cities or states that GRANTS CITIZENSHIP!
gravenimage says
This is true–but such cities are pushing for immigrants to gain citizenship.
Sons of Liberty says
john spielman,…exactly ! These Marxists don’t even know the US Constitution , and that immigration is a Federal responsibility. Time to crack down on these sanctuary cities and ENFORCE THE LAW.
Creole Gumbo says
That is my understanding as well. I don’t get why these mayors are not being arrested.
John Lloyd Scharf says
If you do not believe in walls, let me tear down the walls to your home and urinate in your kitchen. If you don’t like borders, let me turn your property into a parking lot or a freeway. If you do not have a home or property, go across the Border to Mexico. See how long you last there before you are thrown in jail and booted back across the Border.
Eagle Nest says
Very well stated. I only wish more people would realize how true your statement is.Thank you
Frank Cicero says
If it’s legal that a state can over ride the federal government ,then we are really in trouble. Hello 9 11 ??? Why are we allowing liberals and Muslims a strong foot hold ? Did u know that the skin that melted off 911 victims looked at melted wax on the walls. Muslims and liberals are a disease that’s needs immediate attention.
Dan says
I keep seeing Canadians doing something idiotic regarding Muslims and immigration and Americans calling it stupid, and two seconds later Americans doing as stupid, and Canadians calling it idiotic.
How about we pots and kettles simply admitting to each other we both need a two by four upside the head to slap some sense into us?
Carolyne says
The difference, Dan, is that your country’s government is pushing Sharia on your citizens and not the individual provinces. The US Government is the only entity authorized to confer US citizenship, not the states. But your Mr. Trudeau has joined the Muslims in destroying Canada and our government is trying to control who enters our country. Polls taken show the vast majority of US citizens do not want uncontrolled immigration but Justin Trudeau invites it and enables it. We had a last chance in November and we took it. You missed your chance when Mr. Trudeau was elected.
John A. Marre says
In other words, these cities are allowing non-citizens to assume the rights of real citizens, but obviously not the responsibilities. The real citizens get to pay for all this, with their tax money and their lives and safety.
SV says
And how the hell do they plan to do that?
Laura says
Exactly – perhaps these nincompoops don’t realize that citizenship is a FEDERAL work, not a state or city proposal!
Paul N Silas says
We are Southern as Grits and White Gravy, Had to live in the Minneapolis area for ten long years. We moved back to our beloved South because the influx of mostly Muslims was overwhelming.
We are a nation of laws. When Politian’s won’t obey the laws of the Land, they should be removed and jailed.
gravenimage says
I’m afraid parts of the South have been overrun with Muslims, as well–Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Texas, Florida…
eagle Nest says
Stop the government money flow and this free flow of immigrants will slow. Obama’s legacy will slowly die.
Jean Duncan says
You are so right!
Jean Duncan says
True!
SAM says
The problem is really US. We AMERICANS became fat, lazy both physically and inteligently. Majority of Americans don’t appreciate and understand what freedom is and how we got it and how to keep it.
How can a patriot would want a sanctuary city where criminals are free to roam being a danger to any hard working American and his family. And for what?
We are in a civil war. The only thing I can do is help Trump. He is a patriot.
Please help Trump!
TL says
Trump wants communist health care finance. He’s an oily turd.
Jean Duncan says
Agreed!
Mo says
This is the first I’m learning of it. This is horrifying!
These vile liberals hate Trump so very much that they don’t care what happens to anyone else with the influx of more criminals. After all, the liberals in power have their secured homes and often personal armed security for themselves and their families.
Is there any sane place left in America? I need to get out of this hellhole of Chicago. I cannot stand it anymore! The sad part is… I’m trapped. No full time job and ill/elderly family members will keep me here.
I cannot stand it.
TruthWFree says
How much longer before law abiding, tax paying citizens say ENOUGH!! and take up arms to stop this madness. These santuary city leaders are guilty of Treason.
Johan Elzinga says
Exactly the same could be said about the European parliament and the European commission, and the current Western leaders such as Angela Merkel and mr Juncker (and more recently mr Macaroni). I hope they will get what they deserve for treason.
CogitoErgoSum says
Sanctuary has a price and freedom is most definitely not free. Who will make the sacrifices and who will bear the burdens to pay the cost? Look at Illinois ….. with its population declining and its infrastructure falling apart. Is this the future of all of the United States of America when the milk and honey finally stop flowing throughout the land? Shall the golden door be melted down for trinkets and baubles to be distributed to the poor for their amusement? Shall the lamp of freedom be wrenched from the hand of Liberty and its flame extinguished so that it may be used as a chamber pot by the wretched masses? There is a cost for everything ……… and the bill is coming due. The collector is knocking and the rats are scurrying. Look at Illinois …….. just look at Illinois.
Barry says
USA – Memorial Day is always the last Monday of May…that’s when Americans (theoretically) honor those who have died serving in the US military…I’d love to be able to ask every one of the men and women who have died serving their ‘ideal’ of America….specifically I’d love to ask them if they believe/ adhere to the modern, current ‘enlightened’ idea/ epic that the USA is for ‘everyone’…that we have no borders…..my question to all those dead men and women is this: do you agree that the USA should have no borders??? Did you all die for everyone/ anyone who wants to come here, irrespective of their religious/ ideological/ political beliefs? You all dead patriots died defending this country – our constitution, that’s what you died for….so should we erase our borders to those who oppose the very freedoms you fought and died for?
Laura says
Actually, it’s the 4th Monday in May (this year happened to have 5)… 🙂

They have no right
Voytek Gagalka says
If “the land is for everyone” where is my right to have full and unrestricted access to Mecca? (Not that I, a kafir, would ever desire to visit that accursed place.)
Johan Elzinga says
The French now have this organisation “Identity” that tries to stop the immigration flow. They raised a small amount of money after at least trying to stop one of the NGO ships sailing out to get more immigrants (about 70000 euro in one week). It is a small movement, but hopefully will get bigger soon. How about a US version of Identity, “Identity US”? I will certainly be a supporter, as I am of the French Identity movement.
Carolyne says
We don’t have shiploads of invaders reaching our shores. We do nave our southern border, but the number of invaders has been vastly decreased since Mr. Trump became President.

‘Sanctuary cities’ giving citizenship to migrants to oppose Trump
……………………………
And of course my city of San Francisco is part of this. More murderers who cannot be deported. What could possibly go wrong?
Eric says
First these dingdongs don’t know that only Congress makes laws governing citizenship in the USA. No mayor, governor or city council can confer citizenship. Judges cannot do it either. We have immigration laws to protect the citizens.
We have so many unemployed, under employed and homeless Americans. Mayors who violate immigration laws should be jailed. Mass immigration is not only a threat to national security, it takes jobs from Americans.
Eric
Chris Malan says
“these dingdongs don’t know that only Congress makes laws governing citizenship in the USA. No mayor, governor or city council can confer citizenship. ” Guessed as much. Why didn’t Jihadwatch say anything about this?
gravenimage says
Chris, they can assure that illegal immigrants won’t be arrested and can be given free citizenship classes. There is a lot that state and local entities can do to enable citizenship, even if they cannot ultimately confer it.
I live in San Francisco; I know whereof I speak.
Chris Malan says
An illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant. And that is illegal. How can anybody assure such a person won’t be arrested? If the fellow travelers of Islam instruct their local police forces not to enforce the law, some organisation from higher up can come down hard on such a police force. You can be sure this is taken care of in the laws of any country. It is so basic.
Citizenship laws can also be tighthened. People belonging to a group having as part of the group’s agenda replacing US institutions with its own can be deported/not granted citizenship. No mention of religion anywhere, but we can all read between the lines. Such groups can be legally declared groups hostile to the USA way of life, i.e. constitution, and hence be illegal in the USA. Wanting to have Islam as the only religion is against the freedom of religion assured by your constitution, hence Islam is against your constitution. If you want freedom of religion, it is idiotic to extend that freedom to a religion wanting to ban all other religions. This is not rocket science. Even the slow-witted can understand this logic and see that it is incontrovertable.
Chris Malan says
“Sanctuary Cities Vow to Make ‘1 Million Immigrants’ Citizens to Oppose Trump” Can any town/city in the USA grant USA citizenship to anybody? Doesn’t that authority lie higher up than town/city level? Can even a state do it?
underbed cat says
Sanctuary cities provide Governors with votes, for their next election, if they can slip in citizenship…but they are truly short sighted as to the results….soon they will be replaced, by the real push behind the scenes….and the future protesters for more services could turn into an insurgency as in time resources fade or violence escalates to erode the city. The sanctuary promoters might even be sharia bound. loaded with cash,credentials and that would not be pleasant..as we see this play out in other countries.
Fivecatsandadog says
Cities and states have NO AUTHORITY for granting citizenship. Dream on.
Frustrated an Citizen says
I will never visit the now sanctuary city I grew up in due to the crazy people there. UCLA won’t be a destination either…my alma mater. Graduating with high honors, I am ashamed of their conduct and illogical stances. They are destroying our country. No feeling secure there anymore.
Jacqueleen says
Trump should de-fund those cities that declare themselves Sanctuary cities and states against the wishes of the Federal Government….and if that doesn’t work…send in the troops to restore the state to the United States of America…under God and under the Constitution of the USA and not the dictates of men and women in fantasy power.
