Trump to charge illegals in sanctuary cities

 PJ Media:

The incoming Donald Trump administration has vowed to carry out a mass deportation of illegal aliens. How this will unfold will be the story of the century.

There are many obstacles that the administration must overcome to achieve the deportation of even a fraction of the illegal population in the United States. By far, the biggest roadblock will be going into sanctuary cities and deporting the illegal populations that reside there.

It will be a monumental challenge. A study just published by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) calculates that almost 60% of the illegal population in the United States, amounting to about eight million individuals, have taken refuge in sanctuary states, cities, and towns. CIS says there are now about 600 of these "sanctuaries" across the country.

The sanctuary jurisdictions do not allow law enforcement or the local government to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. ICE officers can still work in those jurisdictions, but without the assistance of local law enforcement to hold illegal aliens until they can be deported, very few deportations can be carried out.

Trump has promised to get tough on sanctuary cities.

Washington Examiner:

Facing rejection from over 600 sanctuaries, the administration said it would retaliate by cutting federal funding to those jurisdictions. Incoming border czar Tom Homan has also threatened to arrest those fighting the federal government, including big-city mayors.

The numbers drawn up by CIS show just how difficult fighting sanctuaries will be for Homan’s team.

The new report, produced by CIS resident scholar Jason Richwine, said that 45% of the illegal population lives in 13 sanctuary states and Washington, D.C. They are protecting 6.3 million illegal immigrants. California holds the most, with 3 million.

Another 750,000 live in states that act like sanctuaries, though they do not have sanctuary laws on their books. They include Virginia, Maryland, and New Mexico. Virginia’s governor, the pro-Trump Glenn Youngkin, has threatened to cut state aid to cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE.

... 

Sanctuary city laws should be found to be illegal.    They are a violation of US immigration laws that should not be tolerated.  They give aid and comfort to people who broke the law coming to this country illegally.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
