380 Sheriffs in 40 States Just Issued Orders to Congress on Behalf of Pres. Trump
Is Donald Trump alone in his push to "build the wall?"
His opponents say yes, and portray him as racist and bigoted for pushing this issue.
An announcement from a major group, however, makes it clear that the president isn't
the only one who believes the southern wall is important — and the people who are urging
Congress to secure the border know a few things about law enforcement.
Earlier this month, a stunning 380 sheriffs from 40 different states signed a joint letter
calling on lawmakers to fund the U.S.-Mexico wall and finally secure America's borders.
"Without border security and immigration reform, more Americans will continue to be
victims of crime.
Now is the time to act," declared the letter, which was drafted by the National Sheriffs'
Association.
That group is one of the largest law enforcement associations in the country, and is made up
of over 20,000 members, 3,000 of whom serve as sheriffs.
"As elected Sheriffs, we have taken an oath to do everything in our power to keep our
citizens and legal residents, our communities, and our nation safe," the letter stated.
"Year after year, we have been warning the Federal government about detrimental increases
in transnational drug trafficking, gang violence, sex trafficking, murder, and other escalating
incidents of crime by illegal aliens entering our country," continued the law enforcement
professionals.
Those officers called out Washington lawmakers for failing to act, and putting the American
people at risk.
"Because Congress has failed to enact the necessary reforms, our citizens and legal
residents face even greater dangers, our national security is more vulnerable, and our enforcement
efforts have been seriously compromised," the 380 sheriffs jointly stated.
Senators and representatives weren't the only ones scolded by the sheriffs.
Liberal "sanctuary city" policies, such as the ones becoming widespread on the west
coast, were also pointed to as a source of problems for American citizens.
"These sanctuary policies, including the laws California enacted, directly undermine
and limit cooperation and collaboration between local, state and federal law enforcement,
making it harder for America's sheriffs to protect our citizens and legal residents,"
the law enforcement officials explained.
"In addition, the problem of MS-13 and other gangs that operate back and forth across our
borders has become worse because of our failure to secure the border and the continued court-ordered
catch and release policies."
We've reported on the results of those policies many times: Left-leaning cities and counties
routinely work against federal ICE agents, essentially aiding criminals who often return
to commit more crimes.
When hundreds of veteran law enforcement officers from across America come together to warn
citizens about the consequences of an unsecured border, it may be time to listen.
Illegal immigration is not just an Arizona or California issue; it has widespread effects
throughout America, and the consequences of inaction are all too often deadly.

three hundred and eighty sheriff's forty states all demanding in a letter today
that Congress act now Bristol County Massachusetts Sheriff Thomas Hodgson is
leading this whole push he is here and he's only here it's good to see you
Sheriff great to see you Trish so you get a lot
of people on board right now a lot of people backing you liking what they're
hearing tell me about the process and where it's going well the sheriff's are
at a point now in this country where they've watched the inaction of Congress
for twenty years on this issue of particularly the security aspects of
immigration reform to a point now where it's impacting our ability to be able to
keep the people of our community safe we have elected officials who are basically
telling the illegals that they need to come out of the shadows while at the
same time you have people like attorney Becerra US Attorney General bus heiress
in California saying we want you citizens and legal residents to go into
the shadows and if you attempt to cooperate with law enforcement to keep
your community safe we're going to prosecute you we can't have that in
America sure if it's kind of mind-boggling to me because as I've said
you know I'm a big supporter of state rights I appreciate the autonomy that
states should have that said when you're talking about immigration you're talking
about borders you're talking about a country to me this is one where federal
law should trump no pun intended any kind of state law here I don't know how
you go out and do your job when you've got this kind of conflict what kind of
challenges does that present to you into other sheriff's all across the country
well the there's several first of all when you when you have this kind of a
situation going on Munir discouraging our partnerships that we've been
developing since 9/11 if we learned anything after 9/11 it was that we
needed to share more intelligence with our state local and federal partners we
needed to share resources to become more efficient and save taxpayers
in our efforts to keep the community safe in our region's and and now we have
a situation where these sanctuaries are basically disrupting our abilities to
keep these partnerships and in inhibiting our ability to pass along
information in a timely way to keep people from being released going back
into the community and committing serious crimes against innocent people
sheriff do you find that happening in other words you you you around some some
folks up that have done something rather dangerous and then all of a sudden you
find yourself rounding the exact same folks up more than once well there's no
question about it and the other piece of this is we're seeing people that get
deported who've been coming back in or five and six times we saw in Kathryn
Steinle case we've seen in other cases where people have been murdered and and
that reinforces what our presidents do and President Trump is exactly right to
get this wall built get the security aspects of immigration reform done so
the people of our communities are safe and the laws are upheld have you heard
from anyone has the president reached out to you at all I mean what is the the
overall sense from the White House of what you're doing well I've been to two
meetings at the White House one on ms-13 and one with the President on the angel
moms and dads who lost loved ones prior to that and look we are all on the same
page law enforcement is so proud and so happy that President Trump has taken a
stand from day one that he will make sure that the rule of law is enforced
and that it's done equitably and that elected officials who attempt to try to
pick and choose what laws they want to follow at the expense of the American
people in an effort to protect criminal illegal aliens well they're going to pay
a consequence too and we feel very good about that
any lawmakers from Congress earth well as far as our they have they expressed
support for this I mean you're calling on Congress to do something what what is
what usual reaction thus far well sure look we know that the Goodlatte bill has
a lot of good things in it probably it is the most complete bill that's been
filed that's going to address eliminating the lottery it's going to
give us the security aspects on the interior that we need and
at the border so there are an awful lot of members of Congress who want this to
move through but we need those 60 votes in the Senate and I hope people will
will step up the community and work with the sheriffs to get this done once and
for all are you certainly trying to get their attention
yeah well Tricia if you look if you think about this if any sheriff was
given a task to put something together plan it and get it going
and was given 20 years to do it and couldn't do it in 20 years imagine that
in the private sector after the second year they would have fired you for not
doing anything it's been 20 years that this Congress has used this as a
political football and enough is enough and the sheriff's are speaking up and
joining together with our our constituents in our communities and
saying you need to now act Congress and let's stop with this whole blueprint of
inaction well sir if your voice is being heard all of their voices are being
heard thank you so much good to have you here today sir
thanks for having me Trisha have a great day thank you god bless you and God
bless america

Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Crystal Palace v Liverpool FC ● News Now ● #LFC - Duration: 2:29.
Mark Lawrenson believes Liverpool FC will drop points against Crystal Palace at Selhurst
Park in Saturday's early kick-off.
Liverpool FC were 5-0 winners against Watford in their last Premier League game before the
international break after Mohamed Salah scored four times at Anfield.
However, Palace have been a boogey side for Liverpool FC over the past three or four seasons
following the Reds' underwhelming record of five wins in 10 meetings.
Liverpool FC squandered a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Palace at Selhurst Park in May 2014
to effectively end their Premier League title challenge.
Palace are two points above the relegation zone following four losses in their last six
Premier League outings.
Former Liverpool FC defender Lawrenson is backing ex-Reds boss Roy Hodgson to pick up
a point against the Merseyside outfit at Selhurst Park," Lawrenson told BBC Sport.
"Crystal Palace's win over Huddersfield before the international break was massive
for them – I would say it was their biggest result of the season.
"The Eagles had lost their previous four games and were in the relegation zone.
If they had lost to the Terriers as well, then they would have been in serious trouble.
"Now Palace need to keep picking up points to climb away from the bottom three –
and I think they will get something on Saturday, purely and simply because of Liverpool's
Champions League game against Manchester City on Wednesday.
"Professionals should not have one eye on another fixture which is three or four days
later, but their last-16 tie is one of those huge occasions where it can happen.
"Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will surely be considering the City game, and the demands it will place
on his players, when he picks his team to face Palace too."
Liverpool FC finished in fourth place in the Premier League table last term to secure a
return to the Champions League after a two-season absence.

At Least A Dozen States Plan To Sue Over New Census Citizenship Question - Duration: 5:13.
At Least A Dozen States Plan To Sue Over New Census Citizenship Question
1k 35.
At least 12 states have responded with a wave of fury and legal action this week after the Trump administration announced it would add a question to the 2020 census asking respondents whether they are U.S.
citizens.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said he would lead a multistate coalition to block the decision the Commerce Department announced on Monday.
The addition of a citizenship question is highly controversial, and civil rights groups have long claimed it could jeopardize the accuracy of the census.
"A fair and accurate count of all people in America is one of the federal government's most solemn constitutional obligations," Schneiderman said in a statement released Tuesday.
"The Trump Administration's reckless decision to suddenly abandon nearly 70 years of practice by demanding to know the citizenship status of each resident counted cuts to the heart of this sacred obligation – and will create an environment of fear and distrust in immigrant communities that would make impossible both an accurate Census and the fair distribution of federal tax dollars." The states of Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington quickly said they would join the lawsuit, with state officials condemning the citizenship question as an "arbitrary" one that would "only do harm." California filed its own lawsuit earlier on Tuesday after the state's attorney general, Xavier Becerra, called the new question "alarming" and an "unconstitutional attempt to discourage an accurate census count." The census is constitutionally mandated every 10 years and must count every resident in the United States, citizen or not.
The results inform everything from political boundaries to the allocation of more than $675 billion a year in federal funding.
The survey has not asked about citizenship since 1950, and critics say doing so will lead fewer people to respond, especially in minority communities experiencing heightened distrust of the federal government.
A memo released in September found that respondents expressed growing concerns to field researchers about the confidentiality of their census answers.
Some people said they would be providing false information due to worries about their immigration status.
Yet the White House defended the inclusion of the citizenship question, and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called it "necessary.
to protect voters." "I think that it is going to determine the individuals in our country, and provide information that allows us to comply with our own laws and with our own procedures," she told reporters at a press briefing in which she falsely claimed that a citizenship questioned had been included "in every census since 1965." Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross also addressed those concerns in his announcement on Monday, saying other Western countries ask similar questions and that the "need for accurate citizenship data" outweighed fears of a lower response rate.
Former U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder also said his organization, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, will sue.
"The addition of a citizenship question to the census questionnaire is a direct attack on our representative democracy," he said in a statement.
"Make no mistake ― this decision is motivated purely by politics.
In deciding to add this question without even testing its effects, the Administration is departing from decades of census policy and ignoring the warnings of census experts." .
