More Trump effect, Rahm Emanuel is telling illegals Chicago will ALWAYS be a sanctuary city.
Trump has already planned to deport 2-3 million criminal illegal immigrants, and said he would with hold federal funding to cities that don't comply.
There is talk that calls from illegal immigrants to suicide hotlines have increased to 200% since the election.
These are strange times, when cities declare themselves sanctuary cities and the thing they protect is illegal....
A showdown me thinks is on the horizon.
Even as President-elect Donald Trump vows to immediately deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants when he takes office in January, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is reaffirming Chicago’s commitment as a so-called “sanctuary city.”
“To be clear about what Chicago is, it always will be a sanctuary city,” the mayor said Monday.
Emanuel sought to reassure those worried about Trump’s interview on “60 Minutes,” in which he said he plans to immediately deport or incarcerate up to 3 million undocumented immigrants who have criminal records.
“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl. “But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”
Trump also has promised to block federal funding for sanctuary cities like Chicago.
Laurie Children’s Hospital CEO Patrick Magoon called Trump’s vow a public health crisis, and said undocumented immigrants and their relatives have been making calls to suicide hotlines since the election.
“Calls, which have increased by 200 percent at the state level and 250 percent at the national level,” he said.
Congressman Luis Gutierrez said if Trump revokes President Barack Obama’s executive order shielding more than a million children of undocumented immigrants from deportation, the president-elect would be declaring war on the immigrant community.

A sanctuary for who, people that want to die in a hail of gunfire.
Here is an idea Rahm. Why don't you concern yourself with making the city safe for your current legal residents?
Rahm is more concerned with virtue signaling and appeasing illegal immigrants than the people dying everyday in his city.
Let me take a page out of the lefts handbook.
Methinks that if thousands of white wealthy liberals were being shot in his city every year, he would be more concerned with helping them than he is now when it is poor black people.
The penalty for felony harboring is a fine and imprisonment for up to five years.
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization or local government) commits a federal felony when he:
assists an alien whom he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him to obtain employment,
encourages that alien to remain in the U.S., by referring him to an employer, by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime.
Conspiracy to commit the crimes of sheltering, harboring, or employing illegal aliens is a separate federal offense punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or five years imprisonment.

Wait, the people who don't pay their taxes have increased calls to the tax-funded suicide hotline by 200%?
I'm having a hard time feeling the love for them.
Isn't chicago the shining example of what a gun-free zone looks like, with many shootings per day?
Some sanctuary.

Someone should inform Emanuel that Chicago's own in Obama has deported 2.5M+ illegals who've committed crimes.
Trump still hasn't deported one.

So Rahm is questioning, like lots more of us I suppose, whether Trump has a big enough pair to grab the loud-mouthed punks by the scruff of their neck and metaphorically slap some sense into them. If Trump proves he's got the biggest cahones, America will reach the stratosphere again quickly. Let's hope!
