ICE Director: Sanctuary Cities Are 'Un-American' http://ijr.com/2017/07/919200-ice-director-sanctuary-cities-un-american/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=morning-newsletter&utm_medium=owned

On Wednesday, Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan promised to “double down” on the gang MS-13, and slammed sanctuary cities as “un-American.”

While appearing on “Your World With Neil Cavuto,” Homan reiterated his warning that anyone who entered the country illegally committed a crime. He added that sanctuary cities, who shielded immigrants, didn't represent the America he knew:

“I've been doing this job almost 34 years. Sanctuary cities, in my opinion, they're un-American. That's not the America I grew up in ... it's a community safety issue. For every criminal alien that's a public safety threat, that I can't arrest in the safety, security, and privacy of county jail, one of the fine men and women that work for us have to go knock on a door. It's an officer safety issue. it's a community safety issue. Enough's enough with sanctuary cities.”

Trump's immigration policies, Homan added, had a “strong effect” on enforcement, and, in effect, sent a signal to immigration enforcement authorities that they could start doing their job.

MS-13, in particular, drew Homan's and host Neil Cavuto's attention. “They victimize the very communities they live in,” Homan said of the gang organization, which he described as a “criminal syndicate.”

This brings me memories of the francoist Spain, where you could be put in jail or get sentenced to forced labour for being un-spaniard. There was a list of un-spaniard list of things you couldn't do in public. Things like being communist (we call it Communism because Socialism in Spain is something like the Democratic Party in the USA but it is Socialism), being socialist or anarchist were included in the list among other things like not believing in God (only the christian God was allowed of course)
