Trump said Friday that he is considering a plan to release illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities
A brilliant move on Trump's part threatening to ship illegals to sanctuary cities. He painted the liberal dogs into a corner and they're starting to squirm.
Trump calls sanctuary cities' bluff: 'Let's see if they have open arms'
Judging by these two videos the liberal response has been less than enthusiastic.

President Trump said Friday that he is considering a plan to release illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities, saying it is fitting punishment for Democrat-led communities that refuse to get tough on border security.
Mr. Trump was confirming a report in The Washington Post that said the idea was being considered.
“Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only,” the president said on Twitter.
Hours later, speaking to reporters at the White House, Mr. Trump said he would only be giving the sanctuaries what they say they want.
“California certainly is always saying ‘Oh we want more people,’ and they want more people in their sanctuary cities, well we’ll give them more people. We’ll give them a lot. We can give them an unlimited supply,” he said.
“Let’s see if they have open arms,” he added.
The president also said he will send more troops to the border.
Sanctuary cities are communities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, shielding them from detection to varying degrees. California, for example, has enacted laws that ended cooperation between local police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a number of areas including anti-gang efforts and translation assistance.
Democrats bristled at Mr. Trump’s suggestion.
“It is a notion that is unworthy of the presidency of the United States and disrespectful,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters.
Thousands of illegal immigrant children and families are being nabbed at the border every day right now and because of lax U.S. laws, most of them are quickly released. That usually means being driven to a bus station in a city near the border and dropped off, leaving the migrants to disperse on their own or with the help of nonprofit organizations that are rushing to help.
Some of those communities have complained about being overwhelmed by the releases.
Mr. Trump didn’t say what exactly he’s considering, but one option would be to transport the illegal immigrants caught at the border to sanctuary jurisdictions elsewhere, spreading the impact of the releases beyond the border.
Court documents detailing illegal immigration show some migrants already gravitate toward sanctuary communities, seeking out the more generous treatment such as the ability to obtain government services and driver’s licenses.
Trump-Pence 2020 has more than $40.8 million on hand — a record haul for a presidential re-election campaign this far before the next election.
From CBS no less:
Great story..." a record haul for a presidential re-election campaign this far before the next election." Shows you the TRUE mindset of the country!
When he gets reelected the Dems heads will explode.

President Trump's campaign raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, it is set to report on Monday, CBS News confirms, topping the sum raised by the top two Democratic presidential campaigns combined, according to a campaign official.
Trump-Pence 2020 has more than $40.8 million on hand — a record haul for a presidential re-election campaign this far before the next election.
Nearly 99 percent of donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26, a sum that puts the president on par with the small-dollar donations made to Democratic contenders. Presidential fundraising reports are due to the Federal Election Commission on Monday. Several Democratic contenders have been announcing their fundraising figures since the quarter ended March 30.
In another sign of GOP fundraising dominance, the Republican National Committee is slated to announce it raised $45.8 million in the first quarter — its best non-election year total — the official confirmed.
The Associated Press first reported the details of Mr. Trump's campaign fundraising.
Among Democrats, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent, raised roughly $18.2 million in the first quarter, followed by $12 million raised by Sen. Kamala Harris, of California. Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, of Texas, raised $9.4 million in the first quarter followed by South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg with roughly $7 million. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, raised $6 million.
On Sunday, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand reported raising about $3 million, putting her far back in the pack among those who have announced their fundraising totals.

Spring blizzard fueled by Arctic warming, climate change
If it’s too hot, too cold, or your Amazon order never made it to your home…you guessed it... it’s climate change.
1. This is not a joke she actually said it.
2. "Migrant Crisis," thought the Dems didn't believe there was one! Said no illegal ever..."It's too f-ing hot in Guatemala."
--------------------------
The blizzard pummeling the Upper Midwest and Plain States has already dished out widespread thundersnow, winds gusts close to 70 mph and over 2 feet of snow in spots. On top of that, it's happening in the month of April, just three weeks after the record-breaking bomb cyclone. By any measure, these storms are considered extreme, but climate change is making them even more extreme.
The intensity of the storm is being powered by a sharp 60-degree temperature contrast — 80s in the Southeast and 20s in the Dakotas. Strong contrasts are typical for spring as warm and moist air surges north from the Gulf of Mexico and winter cold remains stubborn. But there's an added feature heightening the contrast called "Arctic amplification."
Over the past couple of decades, the Arctic has warmed much faster than of the mid-latitudes, especially in winter. Warming of the globe is being caused by heat-trapping greenhouse gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels. In the Arctic, this warming effect is enhanced by melting sea ice. Ice typically reflects sunlight, keeping the Arctic cool. But since 1970 Arctic sea ice volume has decreased by 50%. Right now, Arctic sea ice extent is at record low levels.
This lack of ice results in a feedback loop with more heat being absorbed. The past few weeks are a good example of that phenomenon as the Arctic, including Alaska, has experienced record-breaking heat. Warmer-than-normal air stretches from Alaska east through Canada to Greenland. That broad warming has displaced a cold pool of air southward into the U.S. mainland. Consequently, the storm moving across the nation's middle has an excess of warm-cold contrast to feed off of.
In this way, it is easy to see a direct link between changing climate, specifically in the Arctic, and extreme weather events elsewhere. What happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic.
"This is a very active area of climate change research," said Sean Sublette, a meteorologist at Climate Central, a non-profit focusing on climate change communication. "There is compelling evidence linking the warming Arctic to changing jet stream patterns in middle latitudes here in the United States. These changes could lead to a slower moving jet stream, which is more susceptible to large southerly dips."
When cold pockets embedded in the jet stream dip further south, they interact with air from the sub-tropics.
"Yesterday's cyclone advected air from the Gulf of Mexico, which was anomalously warm for the season making it more intense. A warmer Gulf is what we would expect from climate change," explained Dr. Andreas Prein, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
Prein says all weather events are affected by climate change because they develop in a warmer and moister climate than in the early 20th century. The degree of affect varies from event to event. But simple physics dictates that as the atmosphere warms it holds more water vapor and drops more precipitation.
This has been especially true in the Upper Midwest where extreme events have dumped close to 40% more precipitation since 1958. This has led to an increase in river flooding.
And the trend is expected to continue into the future. The 2018 U.S. federal government's National Climate Assessment projects that overall precipitation in the Upper Midwest may increase around 20% by late century, with an even greater share falling in extreme weather events.
Since January 1, areas of the Upper Midwest and Plains States have experienced more than two and a half times the normal precipitation. As a result, dozens of river gauges in the area are still registering major or moderate flooding. The extreme storm hitting this week is likely to make the flooding worse in the coming days.
As climate change continues to escalate, the adverse impacts on our everyday lives will grow. Prein stresses more study is needed. "Climate attribution studies have to be conducted to study the exact impact of climate change on these cyclones but events like these might become more frequent and more severe in the future."
