Cities Launch Legal Defense Fund for Illegal Aliens
A few days after the Chicago City Council approved a $1.3 million legal defense fund to help illegal immigrants facing deportation, officials in Los Angeles unveiled their version with more than seven times the money. It appears to be a growing trend of using public funds to protect those who have violated federal law. The offenders are municipalities that have long offered illegal aliens sanctuary and an array of taxpayer-funded benefits.
Last week Chicago officials proudly announced their legal defense fund to help immigrants threatened with deportation. It was created to prepare for President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign promise to deport thousands of illegal immigrants. One Chicago alderman admitted he probably has illegal aliens working in his city office. The lawmaker, Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, said this in a local news report: “Donald Trump, we are sending you a message, you will not tear apart our families, we will stay together. We will defend and protect our communities.” The money to defend illegal immigrants for violating the nation’s federal statutes will come from Chicago property tax rebate funds.
An African-American alderman who represents Chicago’s South Side went along with the measure to help the city’s illegal immigrants, but made it clear that the struggling communities she represents should have priority. “I’d like to see the administration put the same amount of effort into creating a legal representation fund for all of those young black boys and black girls that are racially profiled in this city or are shot by the police unnecessarily or to support programs like CeaseFire to quell some of the violence in our community,” said Alderman Pat Dowell. “When the mayor talks about wanting to keep the immigrant communities safe, secure and supported, those are the same needs that other communities have. … To raise the immigrant communities’ issues to the forefront, I think is something we should do. But, I’d like to see the same attention to some needs we have in our community.”
A few days after Chicago’s announcement, another sanctuary city more than 1,700 miles away launched a $10 million fund to help illegal immigrants dodge justice. The local newspaper called it “the region’s boldest move yet as it prepares for an expected crackdown on illegal immigration by Donald Trump.” The L.A. city attorney, whose office prosecutes crimes and represents the city in litigation, said the money will ensure that there is “more fairness and more effectiveness in the immigration system,” which, of course, is a federal and not a state matter. L.A.’s mayor said the taxpayer dollars allocated to this cause will help the region’s “most vulnerable” immigrants. The money will come from the city’s general fund, which is used for services such as street repairs, fire and police protection.
Shortly after the city announced its fund, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors offered to kick in another $3 million to provide lawyers for illegal aliens that may face removal under the new administration. The board voted 4-1 in favor of contributing to the L.A. Justice Fund. The supervisor who voted against it, Kathryn Barger, said it’s irresponsible for the board to allocate funding for such a program. Several residents also spoke out at the meeting, according to news reports, that described it as a “heated” event. One resident said “illegal immigration is a crime, let’s be honest. We’re talking about spending millions of dollars protecting criminals from justice.” Another L.A. resident opposed to using tax dollars to help illegal aliens pointed out that “when you come across that border, and you don’t have the right to be here, you’re illegal. It’s the same as selling dope, shooting somebody. Illegal is illegal.”

DISCLOSURE; I AM NOT OFFERING LEGAL ADVICE. I AM INSTEAD OFFERING MY OPINION ON LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS DIVERTING TAXES AUTHORIZED AND COLLECTED FOR SPECIFIC MEASURE THEN USED ALTERNATIVELY FOR IMMIGRATION RELATED EXPENSES:
The state and local governments diverting taxes collected for other purposes may In fact be common practice but is it illegal? Taxation without representation is unconstitutional, right? I don’t have an opinion to share on migration, but I do have an opinion when that migration is part of a larger plan to manipulate corporate profit, cheat the voting system, strain or collapse the economy for political reasons. The deceit and lawlessness is what I oppose and oppose very strongly.
The fact that my tax dollars are being hijacked, stolen from their designated and legally authorized purpose then used to sponsor the lies and lawlessness of politicians bothers me quite a bit. I think that once the governments begins openly financing lawlessness and solid proof of nefarious intent can be established the taxpayers would have a solid legal defense for not entrusting these entities to collect and distribute tax revenues. It seems odd to me how arrogant politicians with malice aforethought willfully undermined the law and the will of the voters without any legal repercussion. It’s crazy!
Are we taxpaying Americans legally obligated support or to cater to those intent on overriding law by offering sanctuary? They are literally using other peoples money to forward their preferred left-wing agenda without any legal bases for doing so. If they want change there does of course exists a proper mechanism of law called legislation that is the appropriate action these entities can initiate.
It is only because these crooks realize that the taxpayers as a whole do not support their political objectives they resort to crime and violence. They are aware they run the police, the District Attorney’s offices and tax agencies alike. Up until the age of Trump who was going to prosecute them when it is them who continues breaking the law?
As a dedicated Christian I believe in and adhere to paying Caesar his due, but I do not feel comfortable being intimidated by thugs and criminals to help finance their illicit agenda. If life were fair the governments at all levels would not receive a dime in taxes until this activity stopped. We the citizens of this nation should be able to withhold our tax contribution until we receive legally binding assurance that this criminality will immediately cease and desist. No honest person likes being forced to support criminals or criminal activity no matter who the violator is!
If these sanctuary states and cities want to take the issue to court, don’t waste a single moment, they have no legitimate legal defense. They cannot justify any kind of tax to support that which is not legal. Ironically any attempt on their part at creating their legal defense would require the government’s public admission of their illegal activity. Will that happen? I seriously doubt it.
These are the sleazy politicians, public officials who could care less about the will of the governed, but instead pursue their own interests. These politicians are who Trump refers to as the swamp dwellers, the wretched who will be exposed and ended when he drains the swamp. If Trump has his way public officials involved in this type of illegal shenanigans will soon be arrested for violating federal statute. Trump intends to withhold federal dollars from sanctuary cities and states. In my humble opinion I believe taxpayers should in all fairness have the same legal discretion with their hard earned money.
