Ralph Abraham: I Will Put an End to Sanctuary Cities in Louisiana when I'm Governor

When Louisianians overwhelmingly voted for President Trump, they were sending a clear message to our political leaders: stop ignoring our immigration crisis.
I’ve been to the border and I’ve seen the crisis with my own eyes. In Congress, I’ve stood behind President Trump as he’s fought to build the Wall and secure our Southern border.
But, despite the efforts of President Trump and the support of the American people, we’ve been obstructed at every turn by a Democratic party that has moved in a direction on immigration that’s not just wrong, it’s dangerous. This extremism was on full display last week when nearly every Democrat running for president promised to decriminalize crossing our border and to enroll illegal aliens into free, government health care.
We expect this from national Democrats. What’s even more disturbing is that we’re seeing this same radical agenda from Louisiana Democrats.
Under Democrat leadership, New Orleans has become a sanctuary city. This has made our state a “magnet” for illegal immigration and crime. In 2018 alone, New Orleans Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than 10,000 illegal immigrants. Eighty-nine percent of these illegal immigrants “had either a prior criminal conviction or a pending criminal charge.” Many of these illegal immigrants have committed horrible crimes in our state.
Meanwhile, our liberal Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards and his allies have opposed every attempt to do something about it because he doesn’t want to offend the open-borders Democrats that support his campaign.
While John Bel Edwards sits by and does nothing, I’ve decided to do something about it. Last week, I cosponsored legislation to strip federal funding from sanctuary cities.
On the state level, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has already shown how we can put an end to sanctuary cities. In recent weeks, Governor DeSantis signed a bill that blocks sanctuary cities and mandates that local governments cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
When I’m governor, we will bring similar legislation to Louisiana to ensure that liberal activism never overrides public safety. We will ensure that Louisiana law enforcement officers are able to cooperate with federal immigration officials, we’ll encourage inter-agency cooperation in establishing best practices, and we’ll give them the resources they need to carry out their duties. It is dangerous (and foolish) for a city or municipality to ban it’s law enforcement officers from communicating with other law enforcement officers.
Without safety and security, nothing else matters. It’s time to start putting Louisiana Families First.

We need a Governor that will work with our President to make Louisiana safer and ensure radical communists cannot give safe haven to illegal aliens that violate our laws and take advantage of things that are reserved for American citizens.

There you go again, thinking small.
JBE is counting on you do just that as that will help him avoid pissing off the national democrats bankrolling his campaign.

I wasn't aware we had sanctuary cites in La. Where are they?

This is stupid pandering
Come back when he proposes to eliminate the state income tax or cut whole departments

No he won't
Ron Desantis just signed a bill to do this in Florida and he barely won the election there.
And Abraham is one of the most conservative members in Congress in one of the reddest states in America.
Louisiana is easy.

Welcome to politics.
Even Trump panders like the rest of them.
Get the frick over it.
We live in a state full of absolute and utter morons and anything that helps get rid of the political twin of Edwin Edwards, I will support.

That sounds nice and I support that.
But you're thinking small in a way that will make most voters eyes glaze over and JBE is counting on just that.

Attracting illegals could actually improve the city. It’s not really doing so, though. Hence, this is little more than a solution in search of a problem - for a state that has more problems than one can count.
Posted on 7/4/19 at 8:52 am to Sentrius
Yes, actually addressing the problems the state has is “small”. A bill can’t force NOPD to give a shite about illegals.
Posted on 7/4/19 at 8:53 am to Y.A. Tittle
New Orleans would be a sanctuary city without the need to declare it anyway. NOPD doesn’t have time to fool with ICE nor are illegals a problem in the city.

Yes, now you're getting it.
Winners get to make policy, losers go home and is forced to live with the results of that policy.
But to be able to make policy, you have to actually win elections.
And you're not going to win over casual voters talking about stuff that will make their eyes glaze over.
Trump knows that lesson as well as anybody.
Are you fricking dork Paul Ryan or something?

Signing a piece of paper =/= enforcing the bill

Lafayette is a sanctuary city too

No, it’s not. Unless the Sheriff changed course recently or something.

If you think this is a “winner”, I don’t know what to tell you
To me, it signals another Republican hack who doesn’t care to discuss the real problems or solutions.

NOPD doesn't have time to deal with anything because they quite frankly just don't give a frick about anything. They're all lazy, incompetent jokes who do nothing but collect their $9/hour paycheck.

Dude, we live in a state where a democrat won a statewide election by riling up the evangelicals about Vitter's hookers and discussing absolutely nothing policy wise.
Milk toast republicans like Mittens and McCain lost presidential races by "discussing the problems and solutions" while democrats called them racist rich white men.
You would think someone so politically cynical like you would understand the hard truth that not everybody is a political junkie that knows what the real insider baseball is and you have to get their attention with easy stuff like this.
Win an election first, then you can discuss policy all you want.

Losers go home.
If you can't understand that, you can't be helped.
