By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 15 at 9:03 AM It has now been four days since The Washington Post reported that President Trump has considered sending those who cross the Southern border to sanctuary cities. And despite the White House’s initial effort to downplay the idea, it seems this is a conversation Trump would very much like to have.
Trump’s rhetoric about undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers has not just been about how they are taking advantage of lax American laws or that they are in the country illegally but that they are also dangerous. He has decried them as gang members, “animals” and even terrorists. He has said Mexico and Central American countries are sending their dregs northward.
U.S. destinations of 1,545 migrants who passed through an El Paso shelter during February. Annunciation House, a nonprofit organization that helps shelter and arrange transportation for migrants, recorded the migrants' country of origin and destination. Supporters of this policy would argue that they might just stay in the sanctuary city because it is welcoming, but there are reasons people make long treks to places like Crookston rather than heading straight for sanctuary cities.
Hummm because he's butthurt.
Why should the border states bear this burden caused by LiarsLeakersAndLiberals in sanctuary cities and states?
Makes great sense. Sanctuary cities are designed for illegal immigrants knowing millions will enter USA every yr. They must have a plan to handle them. In non sanctuary city they live in fear in cities not design for them
Clearly, regarding immigration ploys and most of what realDonaldTrump does, has done, makes no sense, that's why States, and common sense organizations have taken him, his administration to Court, where they most often loose. One could call him the loosingest POTUS of all time.
He knows this, he made libs show their true colors. Trump wins
You think?
Sending “asylum-seeking” illegals to sanctuary cities. Makes sense to me.
It makes the most sense. They want them so let them have them.
You need to analyze it? Common Sense people...common sense. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
who wrote this a crack head it makes the most sense. theyre the ones with open arms everyone else doesnt want them.
Does he do anything that makes sense?
Trump makes no sense
It does if you’re a pithy baby, like Trump.
Nothing that realDonaldTrump thinks or do make any sence at all...
Send them.
Please Do it Maga Qanon8chan QArmy QAnons wwg1wga
Nothing he does makes sense
It makes perfect sense! LMAO! They want them, they got them !
It’s makes perfect sense. Until the ones who scream the loudest about open arms has them $hitting in their yard and squatting on their property has to deal with it.They’re love it as long as they don’t have to deal with it.This calls the hypocrites out. That’s your LiberalLogic
President Trump is trying do do something to secure our border all by himself. If he would get a little help from the dems this could be an easy fix. Problem is the dems don’t care about this country so what is the solution?
You actually had to write a piece on how ridiculous this was?
He's doing exactly what the immigrants want. Letting them into the US. The wall won't stop him from bussing asylum seekers. It sounds like he is trying to invite MORE immigrants to our border.
Trump’s idea....fill in blank... makes no sense “ whartonSchool
Makes perfect sense. Birds of a feather and all that. Democrats love illegals until their illegal havens might be overwhelmed.
Trump’s idea of sending illegal aliens to sanctuary cities and states is a stroke of genius. The hypocrite Democrats are whining because they don’t really believe in the policies they preach. Democrats should personally house and pay for all the illegal immigrants.
I think I makes perfect sense
Your right we should send the to WP U can house them in your Mr Rogers Neighbor hood.
The same open border crowd pushing for sanctuary cities suddenly don’t want to use them?
He believes he sending them rapists and murderers. This is tantamount to the President of the United States declaring war on certain states. There is absolutely no other way to view it. Impeachment is the only option.
Oh yes it does
Because it's what immigrants want?
So, does this mean Trump will be releasing drug traffickers, murderers,human traffickers, very bad hombres, rapists, into communities of his choice?,or is it that his propaganda is no longer believable and his family separation policy is not producing the results he expected.
wow. MsmIsOurEnemy
That's great idea!
Trump says these immigrants are criminals and dangerous people and that his primary responsibility is to protect Americans. Now he wants to ship them to sanctuary cities. Doesn’t seem like that complies with his primary responsibility.
morgfair Especially if he's doing it for all the wrong reasons just to satisfy his ego over putting people's lives at risk he's disgusting
morgfair Now Do 'Why Trump Doesn't Make Sense'.
Oh but it does for most of America
It’s brilliant
I agree with this headline. Sanctuary cities make no sense. Now that trump threatens to give the liberals what they want, they realize what they want is a catastrophe
But, sending busloads of homeless to Mara Lago Florida with a thumb drive in hand does...
morgfair Because he is a fool!
Hey wapo read your comments literally no one agrees with you. Biased fake news
Makes perfect sense wtf are you talking about
ridiculousbullshit
Let me tell you how it makes perfect sense. They want them and it’s the safest place for them.
Why not send all these people to Russia?
It only makes sence to him cause he grew up a fucked up life. Was never taught. How to deal with people he has no people skills. He goes by the bully all he knows . money raised his ass. And thats not good for out country.
Yep, b/c those cities will get more of the people they want to protect & expose illegal immigrants as merely pawns in the Democrats game to attack American citizenship. But wait—more of them? LMFAO, I hope the illegals break into your homes, while the cops are too busy being PC.
All are welcome in Denver. Please send all refugees or immigrants here and we will feed them all.
Really, the illegal population migrates to those Cities and States anyway. Because, lunatics like Libby Schaff continue to protect illegals including criminals, and providing public benefits, there complaining about the President's relocation proposal is laughable.
Sanctuary cities claim they welcome illegals and will defy Federal laws...so, it certainly seems that they would be the best place for those seeking safety from Fed authorities. Let the Liberal actions match their words. Put their compassion to the Test!
Makes complete sense! These cities announced they would give sanctuary to law breaking illegals. Therefore they should welcome them. I personally would send them to the neighborhoods of the Democratic leadership, for they are the reason so many are here.
Of course it makes sense, you dishonest, deceitful , media
Hahah WaPo is a joke.
Of course it makes sense, the people that don’t want them shouldn’t be forced to take then and pay for them. Let the high and mighty liberals pay
Very little this president says makes any sense.
He makes no sense
Nothing Trump says or does makes sense.. His election and administration, his life, his ideas, All he is is for himself.
It promotes hate and division... the most valuable assets in his arsenal.
It’s Genius!
To be sure, this latest “idea” makes no sense. But when has any “idea” has Trump offered made any sense?
It makes TOTAL sense! Sanctuary cities say “immigrants” are a net positive and grow the economy. They don’t want to follow US laws. So, they should be happy. Prediction: if this happens more will move from these areas will be even more broke and crime ridden. Then they’ll be RED
They’re cities that have literally said “all illegal immigrants are welcome” how does that not make sense? They asked for illegal immigrants and now they’re getting them
it does make sense
Makes 100% sense.
Actually, it really make sense. Trump, trumps all of you in your own narrative. MAGA
Government manufactured placement of illegal immigrants in America to create chaos & play savior afterwards is proxy,think PURGE movies/William Lynch/AGENDA 21!,'The schemes,the lies,the subliminal CRUELTY,the clues be usually hidden in MOVIES!' by K-RINO in Operation Genocide🤔
But the purpose isn't to address the problem - in the end only Congress can do that - but rather to spread the pain so Congress has to act. It's a negotiating ploy with the added benefit of pointing out the hypocrisy of many on the open-borders left - good for you, but not me.
It is perfect sense ..
It’s perfect. They want to protect illegals and break US law, why not then?!
isn’t he doing it to get to Democrat’s? He just likes to fight and play games
Send them to sanctuary cities & l'LL be glad to bus them to every fukking trump property on this side of the Atlantic especially precious maralago,Im sure the members and hotels guess would love to see Nazi cruelty live and at work in America from Trump spiritual grandpa Hitler
jetrotter WhereIsBarackObama
Only liberals think it makes no sense because they dont want these people in their own Neighbourhood’s and schools. leftists always call everyone else racist. This doesn’t look good for liberals.
Because it will upset the democrats. And because the democrats want them so let them have them. But be warned doesn't anyone remember the 80s and 90s in California? Good luck to you, guess you haven't learned from your past. Go figure
Why none of Trump's ideas make sense..
Forget politics... this is hilarious!
He ought 2 go farther and send the illegals to Gavin Newsomes and Pelosis neighborhood! Let the rich liberal big mouths live with them.
Only two choices for sanctuary cities: 1) Taking care all of migrants whom you promise to take care of; or 2) Immigration laws should be reformed.
A sanctuary city is well equipped to handle illegal aliens, since they harbor them. Makes perfect sense to me.
Makes perfect sense, you want to be a sanctuary city...these folks need sanctuary
Nothing the man says makes sense!
Everything Trump does makes no sense.
I think it makes great sense. They'll be where they're wanted and appreciated.
Dump them off at the Washington Post!
Its a BRILLIANT idea! Leftist cities will defend the illegals. Then send them. Put stress on their citizens and services.
He can send the immigrants to sanctuary cities, but they're going to move about as they see fit. By the way, the country isn't 'full'.
Why would he start being correct - now ! Great journalism.
Yes, it makes complete sense.
So, since when has Mr. Trump made a serious attempt at making sense?
It’s funny that he thinks “more immigrants” is something that will scare residents of sanctuary cities, instead of putting a smile on our faces lol.
its better to keep them in small Texas border town where they cannot be seen by sensitive young liberals.
How come that doesn’t make sense. Democrats say they want immigration reform but do nothing about it. Dems are fighting for illegal immigrants and that’s why they are coming so why not have them flood the cities of dems.
Once the courts are done, the public will be quite familiar with the phrase 'arbitrary and capricious.'
As I said before he's an idiot! As if that's a threat 😊
Obama did this without permission, you all have amnesia
Liberal to Doctor “I have TDS, please help” Doctor “Here’s a script for a thousand illegal aliens to come to your city “ Former Liberal “maga”.
Master stroke
But those cities welcome anyone that is illegal so
You not smart enough to understand
We are overburden with illegal aliens here in Soc Cal, ship them else where and let all America share the burden. R schools R over burdened. Second language takes away time from R students. Please help.
I hope he does send illegal immigrants to Sanctuary Cities
Nonsense. Liberal/left Dems say they want immigrants, they should be thrilled to have them where they live. Otherwise, only conclusion demonstrates what hypocrites they truly are, in case anyone actually still believed in them.
HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
Makes a lot of sense if you look at it as him trying to make the issue worse for his own gain
It’s the perfect optic. Hope he does it.
Nothing he does is based on making sense or addressing reality.
Since when do any of his ideas make sense?
It makes perfect sense. All of you tools who howl you love illegals so much can now live with it.
varsity blues anyone
Wrong it makes perfect sense!! Sanctuary cities/states want to protect illegals so here we’ll send them ALL to you to financially support.
Lol sanctuary cities should take them all and prove Trump wrong. Good luck with that!
They need to go somewhere. Let them go where they can vote.
Well, nothing spells 'Border Crisis/National Emergency' like talk of releasing undocumented immigrants into the most economically sound cities of the USA.
'Why Trump's idea to {fill in the blank} makes no sense.' There, I just wrote your headlines for the next two years.
Makes great sense to us at the southern part of the border along the Gulf?
So you are saying you want a wall now? LOL
