I'd really like to hear an explanation from the LAPD (and other sanctuary cities) why an illegal immigrant who has been convicted of a crime shouldn't - IrishStephen Nov 14, 15:53 32

  - [deleted] 15
    - You're stunned that I'd be taking a position that sanctuary cities shouldn't protect criminal illegal immigrants. - IrishStephen Nov 14, 16:18 8

    - If one were to insist that LA house the convicts while waiting for the Feds to deport them, surely the Feds should be able insist that states hold - Max Nov 14, 16:11 3
      - I'm talking about, in this instance, LA refusing to notify the federal authorities that an illegal immigrant who has been convicted of a crime, is - IrishStephen Nov 14, 16:38 2
        
        The article linked here today talked about holding them beyond LA's needs. And if immigration status were disruptive, wouldn't LA officials know? - Max Nov 14, 17:31
        
        Not convicted, arrested. And the LAPD is talking about offences like illegal vending, driving without a licence. - Roger More Nov 14, 16:44
    - Are we though? The LAPD doesn't hand over illegal immigrants arrested for minor offences, like driving without a licence. - Roger More Nov 14, 16:11

  - yes in his 3 story Trump Tower home and I did hear ambulance/emergency vehicle sirens going off -- nm* - Peglegpete Nov 14, 15:30 3
    - I don't doubt you so I guess he needs better windows. Inside and 58 stories up should be enough to not hear the sirens. -- nm - Krusty Nov 14, 15:45 2
      - maybe his Tower is the opposite of a Tardis. - philip k mud Nov 14, 15:48 1

  - Firefly is to Star Wars as Shakespeare is to E.L. James. -- nm - David Nov 14, 15:06
