We are indeed
Trump says “YOU’RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I AM!”
Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only….

Only trouble is, his people were trying to deny it yesterday.
One reason White House officials often decline to speak on the record: POTUS will undercut any of them at any time. White House strenuously told Wash Post yesterday that the idea was not under consideration and that we’d be wrong to say it was. https://t.co/NPvmQ9Zl1e

I don’t understand this strategy at all. I understand that Trump is driven by (among other things) spite and malice, but how could this move be any kind of good thing for him? He’s going to let known illegal immigrants stay in the country, so he can give liberal cities the finger? Aren’t these the same illegal immigrants he’s been demonizing as rapists and murderers? Does he think San Francisco and Seattle have walls around them? Does he think these “criminals” will meekly stay put? Won’t they invade the parts of the country where the real Americans live?
Oh, come on now, that would take joined-up thinking, and Trump doesn’t do that. Giving liberal cities the finger is enough, aftermath be damned!
I suspect the aftermath he hopes for, assuming he is capable of future thinking at all, is that the cities catch fire from riots and arson or something, due to the rampant violent criminality he thinks immigrants cause. And so it is possible he thinks he is lighting a fuse of sorts in those hated cities.
Holms, he could probably cause those cities to catch fire and possibly even implode if he just transported all his supporters there. They are very good at destroying things.
Sending the immigrants there? They’ll do what they always do – build things. Railroads. Bridges. Buildings. Etc.
