What kind of person even thinks up such a thing?

Senior adviser Stephen Miller listens as others speak during a Cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House in August 2018 in Washington. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 12 at 11:00 AM The Post’s blockbuster report tells us:

White House officials were candid about their motives. In this case, DHS officials pushed back and killed the idea. Frank Sharry, who heads the progressive, pro-immigration group America’s Voice, tells me, “It’s despicable, cynical, desperate and cruel. Trump and [senior adviser Stephen] Miller see immigrants as less than human, Democrats as un-American, and democracy as a zero-sum blood sport.”

Bullshit! He is doing what the Dems. have been screaming for, for two years. They should be rejoicing and Thanking him!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

So this is worse than funding huge groups of “brown people” to overwhelm the system on just 4 states? This is a strategy to destroy America and you decide to collude with the enemies of America to make money. Do some real investigating and stop appealing to the loony left.

He didn't have to. Pelosi and you guys did it on your own GiftsofLove

The greatest story ever told

More new trump charges! Old charges do not work, make new ones! Give more charges! Such an agenda? Actually, the problems of the country are solved together. Is not it so? But if the task is to destroy - good luck!

JRubinBlogger We are in a constitutional crisis. Please say so and be part of educating the public.

Nope still not rock bottom!

...yawn... Dems have been screaming about their sanctuary cities as havens for illegals - SEND ‘em !!!

Agreed send all those illegal to their sanctuary cities, good move Mr P.

Trump is crazy and should be impeached for hating Democracy.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, big difference.

Why not, they are violating our laws. And the Democrats are responsible.

An inspired solution , what’s the problem ? Or is it a case of not in my backyard ?

But the democrats have gone over board. Terrible. I'm 4 the poor PEOPLE. What the heck happened to the old days?

He is lower than scum !!!

Opinion: is a city and state declare themselves as “sanctuaries”, then live the ordinances or laws you self imposed. Do YOUR job and call ICE! Damn hypocrites!

Liar. And I mean you Washington post.

If trump fought the enemies of the U.S. with the same energy he fights poor immigrants he would be a warrior instead he is just an immoral, corrupted coward.

Nope, Trump gives Democrats what they want...illegal voters...

Not at all common sense. Illegals will find what they need n sanctuary cities

A new low... the MSM cant tell the truth!

No, ILLEGALS , not migrants.

Democrats should welcome them with open arms. After all, the statue of liberty says so!

No gutless democrats are...

You must mean, yet another low

What are you talking about. These lawless cities want to protect the lawless. Good place to have them start out. Common sense demands it.

He just tried to use human beings as pawns against AMERICAN CITIZENS! Does that jackass think there are only Democrats living in these cities? Can't wait for something to happen to a repukelican. It'll be blamed on Pres Obama

So do it and see that things will be fine

trumps not hiring undocumented immigrants right now so let him go ahead and send them to cities that will give them the help they need to get established in this country & have the better life that they came here for. He's not hurting the democrats, he's helping the immigrants.

The left has used illegal immigrants as pawns for years.

How can it be when you want open borders and sanctuary cities? Wouldn’t you be happy to take all?

So democrats really don't like illegal immigrants

So, thats what the democrats are trying to do to the republicans.

Assume for sake of argument Trump is right that immigrants are dangerous. Then plan to release them into “sanctuary cities” puts Americans in danger for political reasons. “Terrorism” is defined as violence w/ political purpose. So this means Trump is a terrorist, no?

You use a question mark...seriously?

I wonder the if the Democrats and liberal media like the Washington Post know that they are making fools of themselves with this. It's actually to dam funny. Trump hit them with the hook!!

Around us and into the universe swirl our thoughts and emotions. How deep, and black of a heart, trump must have to pull so much evil into his orbit.

Flashback: Obama “considered” dropping illegal aliens in Jeff Sessions state of AL. Zero complaints from the fake news Washington Compost

Nope

Ok the democrats want to let them in and when Trump tries to send them to the democrat cities they don’t want them and blame Trump for them being here! Does that sound right?

An illegal migrant has been arrested for the murder of a mother-of-one from Oklahoma. Ramon Hector Martine Ontiveros, 33, from Mexico, reportedly admitted shooting dead Paige Gomer, 28, on Thursday night. He has since been charged with first-degree murder. Daily Mail / 032519

THERE IS NO BOTTOM FOR TRUMP

Bullshit opinion

Democrats thrive from them! Why don’t they want them now in their sanctuary cities? 🤓🤣🤪

'cannon fodder'? Isn't releasing migrants into sanctuary cities essentially giving them amnesty? Why are Democrats unwilling to accept them? They will increase the apportionment of congressional seats in blue states! Why wont they take yes for an answer?

What is a “Sanctuary City” ?

I love it. MAGA.

New low after new low, and we all wonder when we'll know we've hit bottom. I think Trump does, too.

how? They wanted illegal migration. Why complain again?

A new low? Dems want illegals and inmates to be allowed to vote.

They are illegal immigrants, who wants open borders? Oh ya

Opinoin: As Dems used migrants tales against Trump

Unfortunately there is no such thing as new low in America.. From Democrats to Republicans low is always their level and that includes American mainstream media also...

So you think that this will make them unhappy!

Opposite Democrats using immigrants destroy red States

why don't democrats want immigrants in their cities?

Trump proposes releasing illegal migrants into 'sanctuary' cities. Isn't that what most immigration advocates and political leaders of those cities would want?

No he did not.

That’s not low. They would be getting what they want

. I like it 👍

Typical libtards. Coddle homeless, open borders, release criminals. Just make sure our ivory towers aren't sullied. Seems you'd be thrilled getting millions of hard working, honest, never do anything wrong 'migrants' (aka Illegal immigrants to the intellectually honest among us)

This sounds like an ideal partial solution. They need a place to stay, and the cities welcome them. All they have to do is house and feed them, educate them, provide medical care, clothing and jobs. Why is there ANY opposition to it?

POTUS Discussed moving ILLEGALS to Sanctuary Cities. What’s the problem? Doesn’t SanctuaryCities want to protect illegals, even when some are criminals? Isn’t that a Good Thing? Is that a Punishment? To be be used only on other parts of the country? MAGA

The GOP must be so proud. Using people as pawns to harm their political foes. This is not MY America. This is a disgusting, disgraceful display of degrading dung. How low are Trump sycophants willing to let our country sink before they do something to stop it. Traitors!

Fact: Democratic leaders, including those running for 2020 nominations, and supported by major left-leaning media outlets, claimed that there is no emergency at the border. Opinion: If there's no emergency, the sanctuary cities should do just fine. Right?

Good

People must make up their minds: Do you want the migrants -- a.k.a. illegal aliens -- or not? It must be like climate change lovers and wind turbines: Yes, but not on my back yard and don't want to see them. NoHateJustTruth

You mean the open border Democrats aren't using illegals as pawns and gaining congressional seats with them?

What do you expect from someone who uses the word Dumping People at a location?

There is no bottom to how low this malignant sociopath can go. Tomorrow will be a new low and the stupid rah rah base is getting the most hosed - and dont even know it. Rs really need a dumb electorate to “win”

You guys still don’t get it: THERE IS NO BOTTOM TO TRUMP BEHAVIOR

What you don't want them in your state?

BuffyLWillow Welcome to the knew GOP under tRump. Now you see why he had failed businesses, you can’t run America like this.

please stop with the 'a new low' trope. It's stale

why not? the TheDemocrats WANT CATCH & RELEASE, THEY DROP ILLEGALS OFF AT THE BUS LOAD ANY WERE THEY CAN DROP THEM! usually middle America so why not in a sanctuary city? why not in there neighborhood?

Oh? The idea of sanctuary cities was to embrace illegals.

It’s really quite bizarre.

What good is having a sanctuary with nobody to offer it to?! Is having a sanctuary city just virtue signaling? If you have a sanctuary city you should take all the people you are forcing to be allowed into country

Or poetic justice Sanctuary, SANCTUARY

Low Makes perfect sense! Do it....all illegals should be released in sanctuary cites.

He is correct. If you invite guests=illegal, give them dwelling, food , your time and money. Don't shift it to your neighbors , who didn't invite them.

Smart

Hard to get lower than below ground

It was a year long journey for the migrants to reach our borders. We were told it was a crisis 6 months ago, but then our 'expert' journalists denounced it as politicizing fear tactics. and now this article....YOU 'ALL' ARE ATROCIOUS.

Here it is fake fucking news wapo. If they get released in places that aren't sanctuary cities then that would just mean they would be deported so aren't they playing by the democRATs playbook? The answer is yes they are but in by doing so they are being 'mean and hurtful'.

Better check his Twitter... he is back at it.

Just when you thought he couldn't sink any lower.

Using real people as political pawns, why is this not a surprise?

Trump got liberal heads exploding everywhere! 🤯

How is this a new low? Republicans have been doing that since they decided they hate migrants which was in the 90s or so.

Nah. They have lower lows. They just haven’t leaked.....yet.

A new low? Trump is taking the high road. Sanctuaries and their taxpayers want illegals and brag daily about how awesome they are. Sanctuaries draw illegals to the US and there would be no better place to send them.

Trump can always rise to the challenge and find a new low. FridayMorning FridayThoughts FridayFeeling FridayMotivation

Migration - Jan Theuninck, 2015

Is the absence of the word illegal in the headline intentional misrepresentation or another example of the ineptitude at the WP?

Why is it a low? If he is being forced to let them in why shouldnt they go areas who want them to be let in?

no new low, donald j trump is an evil man and the media needs to start reporting as such, everything he has done has been cruel and everyone knows it but will not impeach him...i hope he hurts democracy to the point of no return it deserves it...because the USA allowed it!!

Now that the discarded plan is getting attention he actually wants to do it. Okay, go ahead mister, not like it’s anywhere near the shittiest thing you’ve ever done in your life.

still is

Giving Democrats what they say they want is so underhanded and mean🙄😂

Awwww... Ur getting everything u want! Trump gives in and ur still not happy

Ok

There will never be a “new low“ as long as he is in office. Every day, he will go lower

45 is a reckless tyrant.

Tear Down that Wall In California Mr. President. Give the Dems and radical left what they are ask for today.

Every times you think the grifter in chief can't go any lower he does

Your reporting is always reaching new lows

Correction: There is no low.

....... and?

Can’t take a joke much?

Trump enlists conservative allies as he resists Democrats’ push for Mueller report, tax returnsIn a series of morning tweets, the president cited comments from pundits and lawmakers as he continued to air grievances about demands from Congress. Conservative “complicit enablers” is more like it. So many lies and indictments surround Trump. This is Schrodinger's administration. Until we open the box it's either corrupt or it's not. Why do they hide the box? For a man who has been completely exonerated and is completely innocent of any charge anyone might throw to him he sure is hiding everything as much as he possibly can.
