You can love the city, but hate the people running it. Or should I say ruining it?

Chicago is one of the sanctuary cities that refuses to cooperate with the feds to help enforce immigration laws.
Typical liberal mayor.

CANNOT find money to clean up his OWN city but, can find money to pay for a frivolous lawsuit!

So I 100% support any lawsuits against the anti-American moron squatting in the WH. I prefer Trump imprisoned, but civil lawsuits are a good start.
"than the racist, lying traitorous idiot Trump."

Those that cast the insult are usually the ones GUILTY of the insult.

"Pot, meet kettle"!

If the Mayor does not follow Federal Guidelines Trump is entitled to stop monies flowing to Chicago.

Why is this news? Many cities are suing and initiated lawsuits for the same thing back in March due to the unconstitutionality of the edict. This is the way our country works--it is healthy to challenge authoritarian edicts over their legality, especially when coming from a president unfamiliar with the constitution.

"...The lawsuits make it clear why these cities and counties are not waiting for Trump to make good on the punishments, and cite a range of constitutional violations...

...complaint goes on to charge that the executive order violates the U.S. Constitution in several ways, primarily by attempting to coerce local governments to use their own resources to do federal work. The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that such legislation violates the 10th Amendment...."

So many people are saying that the people in Chicago should sue the mayor for having a city that taxes you to death then gets you shot to death as your reward!

And now a remake of Death Wish is coming out that focuses on the crime in Chicago much like the original film did in new York.

Gutfeld and the people on his program talk about Chicago a lot and said if Chicago really cared they would impeach this mayor and bring in someone who instead of bashing the cops will back them up. And instead of protecting criminals will go after them. Even a city alderman finally spoke up saying he is sick of this crime and says we better start getting rid of these illegal immigrants who commit crimes. And he got bashed for saying that! Chicago just loves to protect criminals and then wonder why the whole world bashes the city for being a war zone!

The city is in debt and this is important to him?

Between illegals, cronyism, money paid out in lawsuits and settlements because cops shoot/kill people for no reason, and the hospital bills to treat all the people shot over the course of a year, he has far more important issues to attend to than this.

Only idiots on the left and those that support it, would think that bringing something to court that they know is illegal and try to sue because they are having something taken away, because it's illegal...


Court: Rahm, state your case....
Rahm: I am harboring illegal aliens in Chicago and trump is refusing to fund my city....
Court: What you're doing is illegal...
Rahm: So what...
