Walsh affirms Boston’s role as sanctuary city

won't be that hard......just turn off the spigot and sit back......

Mayors like Walsh might want to look at how much they and Massachusetts actually get from the Federal Government:


Report shows how much Massachusetts relies on federal funds
AP,
February 16, 2017

BOSTON (AP) — A new report is detailing how much Massachusetts relies on federal dollars.

The liberal-leaning Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center estimates one in every four dollars in the state budget comes from federal funds — nearly $11 billion.

The money helps support more than 30 state agencies and departments.

The largest federal contribution to the state, Medicaid, helps pay for the MassHealth program that helps cover health care costs for low- and moderate-income people.

MassBudget President Noah Berger said the report’s goal is to highlight those programs that could face cutbacks under some of the actions being discussed by the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress.

A repeal of former President Barack Obama’s health care law, for example, could jeopardize as much as $1.82 billion in annual Medicaid funding." https://www.boston.com/news/local-ne...-federal-funds

As soon as Boston and the likes has to actually pay that themselves, watch how fast they become an "un-sanctuary" city.

Eliminate the city of Boston and the state of Michigan and that equals #MAGA

you watch too many movies cawacko. I don't buy your whole "lived in boston for a couple of months story"

the vast majority of bostonians do not have any accents. And our weather is pretty much beautiful 3/4ths the year. Even snow is occasionally nice. We have the seasons. Boston in the fall? You kidding me? It's glorious. We have great summers and nice springs as well. Boston is constantly ranked as one of the best cities to live in. And we do not have ugly girls. We are a young youthful city with tons of hot 20 something chicks. You wish wherever you lived was as good as boston.

why do all these fucking idiots keep equating illegal and legal immigration? Why can't we have legal diversity? How many illegals are there anyway? I have never met an illegal. Makes me wonder if there is like this massive underground I am unaware of. Then again, I don't hang out with poor 3rd world trash

Grind, I played golf with a co-worker today who's from Boston. He's 25 years old and a snowflake. He grew up 35 miles south of Boston then went to Suffok. He has the accent and is an ahole

[cawacko]

Grind, I lived in Boston for nine months. I worked in the Pru Tower and I lived at the Harvard Club. If you think women there look good you need to travel

I went out with a woman from Boston (Quincy) and she had a very heavy accent.
The couple of times I visited Boston ( and I loved everything about it) everyone I talked to had an accent -
well not everyone but if they didn't that was noticable.

I loved the theater district & i saw some really good rock and roll there, as she was an usher.
It's a really livable town -i'd take it in a heartbeat over NYC.

The courts, state and federal, have consistently ruled that an ICE request to local authorities to detain a person does not have the legal status of an arrest warrant and does not constitute probable cause as required for arrest. This is just a fact and one which has its roots in our fundamental concept of habeas corpus. We don't want a country in which the cops can just snatch someone off the street and throw them in jail without a process which protects liberties.

This issue is as much at the heart of the sanctuary cities movement as sympathy for individual immigrants and their families. I think that if more conservatives had the information about this legal problem there might be a more thoughtful approach to how our multi-level law enforcement agencies approach suspect illegal immigrants. We must not let fear and anger trample on our constitutional liberties. There is a real legal issue here: we need to deal with it.

Nah that is so west coast.
It was 72 degrees and sunny in Boston yesterday and the hotties were flaunting it.

It was 33c here yesterday and this is still the cool season!

I think the courts have been pretty clear for over two hundred years that states must follow the orders of the federal courts......

Not those that violate the Bill of Rights.

The courts will not allow him to do that.

This is the problem, Trump and many of his supporters did/do not understand the limitations on his power.

What order of a federal court are they ignoring?

It's a sanctuary city for ugly women, bad accents and bad weather.

No one beats Polk Street during a celebration. Lots of ugly women with awful lisps, bad lingerie and hairy legs.

When someone wants to wrestle, run for your life!

Of course it's freezing. It's summer in San Francisco!
