We ARE a Sanctuary City - Don't kid yourself

In the Palm Beach Post today was an article on Sanctuary Cities wherein everyone in authority denies that we are a Sanctuary City or a Sanctuary County.  When you have a PBSO that is less than cooperative with the federal government in this regard, then we have a big problem.

Thanks to Ric Bradshaw, not only is Lake Worth a Sanctuary City but the  entire county of Palm Beach was named one and officially added to the  list on October 15, 2015. Source: 10-8-14 DHS DDO Report. Sanctuary Cities.

Back in June 2014, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said he will no longer hold illegal aliens in the county jail if they are arrested for shoplifting (this offense happens all of the time in Lake Worth--lock up everything Publix) or driving without a driver's license. He says that  he will release them immediately unless ICE goes before a magistrate. If they are arrested for a felony, that will be an exception. Bradshaw created this Sanctuary city status.

Read Bradshaw's statement back in 2014

ICE has to go before a judge before getting the criminal illegal released to them otherwise he won't hold them?  Bradshaw's policy opened up the floodgates for more and more illegals to drive without a license and commit petit theft. Don't we have enough crap in our city?

We have a big problem in Palm Beach County when elected officials and our own PBSO believe the government is forcing us to obey the law or when Commissioner Amoroso insinuates that it is a racial thing against brown people or those who don't speak English.

Scott, why didn't you set the record straight?

Your pocket book aunt deep enough to pay for all the detention centers, new correction officers and staff needed to hold all these supposed illegals until ICE finds the time to swoop in a scoop up every last jay walker

Good gracious, anonymous @7:53. There is nothing "supposed illegals" about it. Are you living in a vacuum? They are all criminals for just being here if they crossed into our country illegally but we are not talking about jay walkers. Don't be so flippant.

7:53- No new buildings needed to get rid of criminal illegals in Palm beach County. The only thing needed is the willingness of PBSO to follow the law.

There's a lot of criminals on Gun Club and I'm not talking about in the jail.

Trump and Bradshaw are going to be facing off very soon, I have a feeling. And I think I know who will win. Bye bye Bradshaw! Bye illegals. It will be *just great* to have our county back.
