Jindal’s Sanctuary Cities Comments Not Big With All Mayors

“Sanctuary cities” refer to the hundreds of cities in the US that don’t obey Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention requests. “If on their watch, an illegal immigrant breaks the law, we will count sanctuary city leaders as accessories and force them to pay for these crimes”. “All of these seven, including Gov. Jindal, must make a move”.

Jindal is not expected to qualify for the first Republican presidential debate, which will be held on Thursday.

The aspiring viral video is just the latest in what is apparently becoming a right of passage for presidential candidates in the 2016 race – particularly those looking to boost their name I.D. and get a bump in the polls. “Pick on our friend”, Rosenberg said.

In Jindal’s comments directed toward officials like Curtatone, the candidate referenced Kathryn Steinle, a woman who was murdered in San Francisco by an alleged illegal immigrant after being released from police custody.

Over the past several years, multiple federal courts have ruled that holding immigrants for ICE without probable cause is unconstitutional.

Rosenberg suggested that he supported the spirit of Rushing’s legislation, though he cast serious doubt about the initiative gaining any traction on Beacon Hill this session.

Those five were the most recent national polls from non-partisan, nationally recognized organizations, she said, using standard methodology.

Rosenberg said many immigrants without documentation have lived in “the shadows” in Massachusetts for decades where they’ve worked and raised their children, often doing jobs others don’t want.

“My dad and mom told my brother and me that we came to America to be Americans – not Indian-Americans”, he said in January.

“Louisiana deserves a governor who wakes up in Louisiana”, said state Rep. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat running for governor, to a roar of applause from the Louisiana Municipal Association last week.

With his remarks, it looks like Jindal has jumped on the bandwagon.

But many experts and scholars of immigration say his views are from a bygone era, and both the idea and the process of assimilation is complicated.
