- Courtesy of a quick google search this was provided by OJJPAC.org: A pretty complete list of every stupid unAmerican pro illegal city or state government in the United States of America. This is a pretty simple fix, even Speaker Boehner could do this without much help from the idiot on Pennsylvania Avenue-cut off every nickel of federal money to these morons. Not one red cent for education, for roads, not one dime until they disavow their illegality.

It wouldn't require much, just a spine and maybe some testicles. That could be the problem, as there are quite a few in the GOP who are just as happy to welcome the illegals as B.O. is. That is one of the many reasons I would not vote for the latest Bush who has thrown his hat in the ring. Enough is enough. I think Donald Trump is a blowhard. But on this issue, he is dead right.
Ann Coulter has also recently published a wonderful book Adios, America . Of course every libtard from Salon to Huffpo has denounced it. You know it's really good when it makes spittle fly from Geraldo Rivera's mouth. Go to youtube and you can watch Ms. Coulter simply destroy Rivera when he attempts to debate her on the issue.

Sanctuary Cities, USA: Additional Notes
Anchorage, AK
The Municipality of Anchorage sent OJJPAC a letter disputing the city's listing postmarked July 29, 2010. It claims that the Congressional Research Service's listing of the city as a "sanctuary" was based on a Resolution adopted by its Assembly (AR 2003-223) in 2003. The Municipal Attorney Dennis Wheeler says that that Resolution was rescinded on December 18, 2007.
Mesa, Arizona
Mesa Arizona has been added as a sanctuary city list because of its reported "don't ask don't tell policy" and criticism by the local sheriff that the city is not enforcing the law. The sheriff has arrested illegal aliens working in city buildings (as contract workers for a private cleaning company), reportedly after the city police department refused to investigate complaints of illegal hires by a whistleblower.
Austin, MN
Note: The newspaper incorrectly refers to illegal aliens as "illegal immigrants." Aliens who illegally reside in the U.S. are not "immigrants," a term that should only refer to aliens who legally "emigrated" to the United States.
Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia's Mayor signed an Executive Order in November 2009 that provided additional protections to illegal aliens in the city. However, the City of Philadelphia does have an existing Preliminary Arraignment Reporting System (PARS) agreement with ICE. Mayor Nutter objects to the PARS computer technology agreement which is now up for renewal. The Mayor apparently believes that the access of data by ICE will result in increased immigration violation investigations and deportations. Here is an article by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Tucson, Arizona
Tucson Arizona has been added to the sanctuary city list because the Tucson police have instituted a new policy which prevents their officers from calling Immigration and Customs Enforcement to schools and churches.
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Tulsa city councilor Jim Mautino was quoted in a Tulsa World article by P.J. Lassek, that he believes Tulsa is a sanctuary city and that the Police don't verify legal presense during traffic stops. Mautino wants to crack down on illegal aliens and introduce an ordinance mandating the use of E-Verify because the resolution that was passed cannot be enforced.
State of Oregon
According to a CRS report (October, 2005), Oregon passed a law in 1987 that prohibits local and state law enforcement from using state resources for locating and capturing illegal aliens. Law enforcement was permitted [but not required] to "exchange information" with federal immigration agents if an illegal alien was arrested for a crime.
San Bernardino, CA.
San Bernardino was added to the list on June 6th of 2007 as a result of a readers submission. On September 5th 2008, the city administration contacted me to dispute its listing. OJJPAC has asked the city's law department to forward copies of the city's policies regarding its processes when illegal aliens are encountered in its city.
Bridgeton, NJ 7-27-07 Disputed by a reputed farm worker advocate who sent me this email:
"I just wanted to point out an inaccuracy on your website's listing of sanctuary cities. You have Bridgeton, NJ listed as a sanctuary city, and indeed it is most definitely not. I work with CATA - The Farm workers' Support committee (www.cata-farmworkers.org) and we have an organized group of membership in this town. One of our goals is working towards making Bridgeton an sanctuary city, but the local government is quite unfriendly towards the immigrant population, and the mayor has even hinted at wanting to implement a Hazleton type of ordinance (luckily, given yesterday's legal decision, that won't be happening)."
Columbus, OH
I am disgusted with any city or state official who would undo our amazing Republic for cheap labor. The idea that you can make this a mercy option is one of the things that most angers me. How about a little mercy for us here in the United States of America? How many jobs are stolen from citizens? How many millions do we have to forfeit from our economy as the illegals wire billions-with a b- back to their countries while stealing our resources in food stamps and free education opportunities? Demand that our elected officials make this as important to them as the issue is to us. We have borders for a reason. Think about it. You'll thank me later.
