Mayor Michelle Wu’s progressive insurance policies have redefined what it means to be a Bostonian. We at the moment are collateral injury.
Embracing the sanctuary metropolis mantra that breaking U.S. immigration legislation isn’t any large deal, Boston continues to endorse police non-cooperation with ICE officers who need to deport legal unlawful immigrants.
They “don’t should dwell in concern” right here, as a result of, because the mayor says, “Boston won’t ever again down.”
President Trump is having none of it, and the Division of Justice on Thursday filed a lawsuit in Boston federal courtroom towards the Metropolis of Boston, Wu, the Boston Police Division, and Police Commissioner Michael Cox.
“The Metropolis of Boston and its Mayor have been among the many worst sanctuary offenders in America – they explicitly implement insurance policies designed to undermine legislation enforcement and defend unlawful aliens from justice,” Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi mentioned in a press release.
Wu and metropolis officers have 21 days to answer the lawsuit. With the mayoral election across the nook, odds are higher than even that “resistance” will information Wu’s actions.
And who will foot the invoice for preventing this lawsuit? Boston taxpayers. Residents who’ve learn headline after headline detailing the arrests of unlawful immigrants on expenses of kid rape, human trafficking, drug trafficking, homicide and extra and been rightly appalled can relaxation assured that the invoice for the DOJ lawsuit will come out of “municipal funds,” aka their tax {dollars}.
As if the town isn’t going through a income shortfall.
However Bostonians pay for sanctuary insurance policies in different methods. One would suppose as metropolis management faces a recent resurgence of the Mass and Cass drug scourge it might embrace ICE actions to get drug traffickers off our streets and overseas.
As an alternative, Wu is taking the “lather, rinse, repeat” route and as soon as once more issuing a “crackdown” on the crime and drug use that plagues Mass and Cass, and now past.
This time Wu is tapping Boston cops who graduated from the academy final month, a part of a plan to spice up police deployments to the hot-spot areas of the South Finish, Newmarket and Nubian Sq..
Resisting ICE efforts to deport unlawful immigrants who’re trafficking medication whereas deploying extra BPD officers to deal with the aftermath is like bailing out a sinking boat however doing nothing to plug the leak.
So is responding to residents’ calls to select up the endless provide of used needles on Boston streets, whereas the town arms out greater than 80,000 needles monthly to drug customers.
In a Metropolis Council assembly final week, Boston Public Well being Commissioner Bisola Ojikutu mentioned the town distributes 81,112 on common monthly to drug addicts.
It’s all a part of “hurt discount.”
Ask the residents and enterprise homeowners coping with the open drug use, drug dealing, distress and violence of their neighborhoods if hurt has been diminished for them.
Ask the mom of the little boy who stepped on a discarded needle in South Boston final month.
The simple approach out for progressives is to border any and all motion taken by Trump as detrimental. You don’t have to love the president, however when an opportunity to rid Boston of a few of the legal unlawful immigrants who ply their commerce right here is obtainable, it is best to take it.
