From State Representative-Elect Allen Skillicorn:
Rahm Emanuel Breaks The Law With Our Tax Money!
Allen Skillicorn
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago’s Aldermen announced Sunday the city’s plan to continue ignoring federal Immigration law.
In 2012 the city of Chicago passed an ordinance instructing law enforcement and city agencies to ignore immigration status of illegal immigrants.
If an illegal immigrant without any documentation interacts with Chicago Police or social agencies, for example being pulled over for speeding or applying for welfare, the employee is prevented from reporting the person to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The common term for a city with this policy is Sanctuary City.
President-Elect Trump has promised to withhold federal funds from Sanctuary Cities when sworn in. Currently Chicago receives $1.33 Billion in federal tax money.
Conservative estimates claim millions of dollars and services are provided to illegal immigrants, who cannot be legally employed and do not pay traditional income taxes.
“I want to assure all of our families that Chicago is and will remain a sanctuary city,” Emanuel said in a statement.
“Chicago has been a city of immigrants since it was founded. We have always welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds, and while the administration will change, our values and our commitment to inclusion will not.”
Will Mayor Rahm Emanuel continue flaunting the law? Will President-elect Trump give in? The next few months will be exciting to watch.
Do not ignore the fact that Rahm has the blessings of Mike Madigan &
his gang in Springfield in his lawless endeavors.
Most disturbing is how the Chicago media is nothing less than
a willing propaganda machine for the lawless DEMOCRAT party as
witnessed by Rahm’s propaganda speech of yesterday.
I’m sure that Rahm expected to be basking in the warm glow of
Hillary’s victory witch would allow him and his ilk to plot
more of their brand of lawlessness. Too bad for Rahm – NOT !
Just another reason to throw him out of office… and a perfect example of why we need to go back to the seventies at the very least and begin with the immigration officer round them up and flying them back home! or bussing them its cheaper.
Enough is enough the Free Cheese window is closed.
Rahm bumped his head if he thinks Trump will back down now, after not pandering to Hispanic voters and still winning.
Maybe he can convince those Trump protesters, to come up with that $1.3 B, so he can pay the bills.
Rahm has been on the bubble for years.
Just as weak in effective mayors before him were found out and replaced Rahm is widely reviled and there are those who would see him replaced.
The only reason he was left alone is because his friend Obama was still in office which made replacing him politically problematic.
Now Rahm must fight for some sort of legitimacy to remain politically relevant.
Picking a fight with a president who isn’t popular with his side today might seem like a no lose option but Rahm has never really been known for political aptitude.
He should have waited until his statement mattered, which it may never matter.
He is a waste of space.
Chicago needs a mayor who loves her and her people.
Not a political placeholder as a favor for an irrelevant president who’s legacy may rival Polk.
Thank you, Allen!
Interesting:
1. Gang bangers get guns illegally and kill each other (and innocents) at am alarming rate in Chicago.
2. Murder is illegal.
3. ‘Sanctuary cities’ are illegal.
Is Rahm the reason for number 1.?
Why are judges in Chicago so easy on people who do not adhere to existing gun laws?
Skillicorn for Governor!
I know this will be shocking to some but LAPD and Denver PD said they will not Illegals.
That is the Job of Federal Government.
Tax Raise anyone ???????
Oooo….ahhhhh…. WTH Scruffcorn?
Not enough problems in your own district?
Probably can’t name the communities you’re supposed to serve, but already leaving them in the dust to grandstand for the next job???
DO YOUR CURRENT JOB FIRST, then start the election circus.
Otherwise, resign and move to Chicago and war your war of words over there, doofus.
