Democratic Governor Deals Blow to Immigration Activists by Rejecting Sanctuary City Push
Kansas Democratic Governor Laura Kelly is diverting from many other Governors in her party and refusing to create a sanctuary city for illegal migrants. Instead, Kelly chooses to focus on bettering her community and the lives of her constituents.
“Both Republicans and Democrats in Washington have failed to address immigration issues for decades,” Kelly said in the statement. “We need a national solution and we need it now” said Kelly about supporting the Republican-back bill.
Kelly signed the bill on Monday “that will thwart hard-fought efforts by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas, to issue municipal IDs to residents unable to get legal photo IDs.”
Kelly made a bold move, as she is up for re-election in November. The law originated with Republican Attorney General Derek Schmidt, who is expected to be the Republican candidate running against Kelly.
Schmidt objected to the ordinance, saying Wyandotte County would become a “sanctuary jurisdiction for illegal immigrants,” and calling on the Legislature to ban sanctuary cities in the state.
Schmidt said Kelly did not have much option other than to sign “the veto-proof” bill. The “bipartisan support for this bill in the Legislature demonstrated its importance,” he said. “Under this new law, Kansas law enforcement will be able to resume working professionally with federal immigration authorities … and not be silenced by a patchwork of local sanctuary city gag orders.”

Trump, Rep Biggs: invoking the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation will ‘be necessary’
At a recent rally in Iowa, former President Donald Trump promised that if elected again in 2024, he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation of migrants who have illegally entered the United States. Since President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, over 6 million people have illegally entered the country.
Republican Representative Andy Biggs from border state Arizona, which is among the states suffering the greatest consequences from the Biden administration policies, lamented that Trump’s suggestion will be “necessary.”
Speaking on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Biggs stated “[I]t’s actually gonna have to be necessary.” Biggs then added his thoughts on how many more people will continue to cross the border under Biden: “Because by the time Trump gets back in office, you will have had over 10 million, in my opinion, over 10 million illegal aliens cross our border and come into the country, under the Biden regime.”
“And so when you start deporting people, and removing them from this country, what that does is that disincentivizes the tens of thousands of people who are coming,” Biggs went on. “And by the way, everyday down in Darién Gap, which is in Panama… over 5,000 people a day. [I] talk[ed] to one of my sources from the gap today. And I will just tell you, those people that you’ve seen come come in to Eagle Pass, over 7,000 in a three day period, most of those two weeks ago, were down crossing into the Darién Gap.”
“And those people… make their way up and they end up in the Eagle Pass [Texas], Del Rio area,” he continued. “So if you want to disincentivize them, you remove them from the country, which is why they remain in Mexico policy was so doggone effective at slowing down illegal border crossings.”

Why are democrats pushing sanctuary cities. Can’t they see the damage it creates for American lower income people. I guess they don’t care.

Ironically Sanctuary Cities themselves are illegal.
Laws apply to everyone or else they apply to no one.
The Dems think that they can pick and choose which laws to follow.
We need to elect people who will both push back and undo the fake laws that the Far Left have created. Please vote.

When there is such a shortage in the grocery stores why bring in all the aliens, especially the criminals. We should take care of our own first. Stop Joe Biden from giving out free money, put our people back to work. Employers are begging for workers but we want good workers who are not illegal aliens.

Laura Kelly a Democrat politician with a brain and a back bone! Pretending or not at least she has the courage to say it and think for herself and her state. Its been a long time since I said “Great Job” to a democrat but she deserves it!

Same for Biden’s sudden reversal on ‘allowing’ new oil drilling permits on Federal land. These are all head fakes contrived by the Democrat Party leading to the 2022 election season.

She signed a veto proof bill against sanctuary cities, just after vetoeing a bill to keep “transgenders” from competing in girls sports. So courageous.

The REAL Democrats will rebel against the DEMON RATS. The LUCIFER BRIGADE will loose so many seats, so many employs, so many favors, it will be a disaster in November.
