Trump said on Friday he was considering sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, prompting U.S. mayors to accept such an offer as the battle over border security rages. Sanctuary cities are local jurisdictions that generally give undocumented immigrants safe harbor by refusing to use their resources
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump may have threatened to transport illegal immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities to"make everybody crazy" and generate media attention, Republican U.S. Senator Rick Scott said on Sunday.
Since many such jurisdictions are Democratic strongholds, the proposal was seen by critics of Trump as an attempt by the president to punish Democrats for refusing to support funding for the construction of a wall on the southern U.S. border. Scott, a former Florida governor who was elected to the U.S. Senate in November, has generally kept his distance from Trump and criticized him in the past over immigration policies and other issues.
"I'm sure the president is very frustrated because we're not securing our border, the Democrats are stopping this. But we have to comply with every law."
