CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rahm ‘would welcome’ migrants Trump considers releasing to sanctuary cities – AP (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, to “welcome” illegals is to illegally encourage illegal immigration. Chicago Democrats have illegally done everything that they can to get citizens of foreign countries to illegally come to America illegally and to illegally stay in America illegally. If Trump sent 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000+ illegals to Chicago, what would Chicago Democrats do with them? I predict that those Chicago Democrats would soon spread those illegals that they do not want across Illinois. How many unwanted illegals would those Chicago Democrats send to your county, to your township, to your municipality, to your precinct, and to your neighborhood? Of course, if they have not done so already, the Democrats who run Illinois will give illegals the right to vote. With votes from illegals, the Democrats who run Illinois will get rid of even faster individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Chicago would “welcome these migrants with open arms,” in response. “What President Trump fails to understand is that America is a sanctuary country,” Emanuel said. “Small, medium and large cities across the nation are suddenly and rapidly identifying as sanctuary cities because of the abandonment of Americans values, ideals and cultural destiny under President Trump’s watch.” The plan was panned by critics as an effort to use migrants as pawns to go after political opponents. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls the plan “disrespectful.”)
