It certainly looks like some have a problem with enforcing existing immigration laws. Look at so-called "sanctuary" cities, where illegal immigrants are specifically protected against deportation. It that's not enabling illegal immigration then what is?
That's not what a sanctuary city is. In a sanctuary city, police do not inquire about immigration status when illegal immigrants report crime. This is done simply to encourage illegal immigrants to help law enforcement fight crime. It exempts no one from immigration laws.
Some cities have enacted an ordinance prohibiting law enforcement from reporting when an illegal immigrant is being released from jail, so that the illegal immigrant won't be met by ICE as he walks out of chokey. Your comment is a gross understatement, and it's not done "simply to encourage illegal immigrants to help law enforcement..." That's absurd.

That thing with the Oakland mayor was an isolated incident. Broadly speaking, the goal of a sanctuary city is encourage illegals to help cops catch criminals.
Fucking hilarious!

You just can't admit that there are politically motivated bastards importing and exploiting illegals.

It's like the dems (and maybe you) like having brown people around who are vulnerable to exploitation. Not on purpose, of course...

What's absurd is the fact that the sentence "Donald Trump is the president" is a factual statement and not a line from a fucking Sharknado movie. Piss off.

Given ICE's track record with physiological, physical and sexual abuse (leading to death in some cases) I'd say the mayor of Oakland did the moral thing.

Just because someone works legally, within the confines of the law, doesn't mean they are good.

Why are you trying to get your President another movie deal?

Are you secretly working for the Trump family?

Are you 'Qanon'?

Given your track record with Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have to assume that ICE is a great organization, and anyone who opposes them is obstructing justice.

You're equating walling off a country... with walling off a house. A friggin' house. A HOUSE! Is someone really going to have to explain the difference to you?

I like ridiculous just fine.

For instance, ridiculous or not, there will soon be another 5 billion dollars worth of wall along the southern US border.

Nice, eh? I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Triggered by Seinfeld -- http://www.bustle.com/p/these-13-jokes- ... i-10191949

The writer seems to think that it's obvious that each of the items listed is plainly unacceptable today and they "need no explanation." Honestly, I went through the list and I can't see why they would upset anyone.

I'm not going to click to a site called Bustle. That's a Victorian clothing item designed to emphasise the buttocks, and thus promoting the sexual objectification of women with big bums.

By not clicking, you're fat-shaming them for their large derrieres.

Elon Musk! Falsely accusing this poor girl of being a gold digging liar!

Down with SpaceX! No more Tesla! Stop giving Elon Musk a platform!

Elon acts like he is "entitled" to his girlfriend telling him the truth or something. It's so patriarchal. Stop telling women what their truth is! And, if a woman lies to you, look to yourself, it's probably that you've done something to make her need to lie to you!.

Very problematic.
