Sanctuary cities promise to make 1 million new US citizens in year

[Madmallard]

Twenty-one mostly "sanctuary cities" are pledging to make 1 million immigrants U.S. citizens this year.

The "Naturalize NOW!" campaign, which includes liberal and progressive groups and elected officials, heralded the mayors of the cities in joining the national effort.

Among the cities cited in an Independence Day notice from Mi Familia: Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Cleveland, OH; Charlotte, NC; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; Dayton, OH; Jersey City, NJ; Knoxville, TN; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Miami-Dade County, FL; Montgomery County, MD; Paterson, NJ; Pittsburgh, PA; New York City, NY; Salt Lake County, UT; San Francisco, CA; Seattle; South Gate, CA & Tucson, AZ.

Many are sanctuary cities and counties.

"We celebrate our independence on July 4, and honor the values of freedom, justice, unity, and equality that make us who we are," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. "Los Angeles joined the Naturalize NOW campaign because those principles are still worth fighting for — and to encourage eligible Angelenos and people across the country to seek a path toward citizenship and join the American family."

According to Naturalize Now!, more immigrants than ever have applied for U.S. citizenship, a spike coming at a time when the Trump administration is warning all illegal immigrants about deportation.

According to Mi Familia, "The campaign announced on Flag Day that a record-breaking number of aspiring Americans have submitted citizenship applications in 2017, making the second quarter of this year busier than 2016, a federal election year. The Naturalize NOW! campaign is halfway through accomplishing the target goal, with over half a million people submitting applications through the first half of this year."

Too bad NY pistol permits can't be processed this fast. It's a bitch being an actual legitimate citizen in this country.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Lets let all those illegals give their names and addresses to the Trump administration. It's so much easier to find people hidden in the shadows when you have their addresses. Sometimes libs are the dumbest F$%#s ever to breath air!

If these 1 million become citizens and can vote....guess who they are voting for? It may be enough to irreversibly top the tide to the left.

I worry that in 15 years Texas will turn blue if enough illegals are allowed to vote or become citizens, and if that happens it's over. Texas has steadily been drifting from the right to closer to the center. One of the drawbacks is Texas has such a good and favorable business climate that it attracts businesses fleeing California and they employees bring their idiotic ideas with them.

Same thing with Idaho. Lots of people from California there.
This is the plan folks. Hopefully some of them are conservative, but most are not. Maybe they will see when they get here.
Also Trump let the dreamers stay so he won't deport all these people either.

I think it's probably inevitable. I see no way forward outside of this kind of eventuality.

Where is all the jobs coming from to get them all to work?

 

[Apeman]

How can they say they value justice while they allow these illegals to break the law or they break the law by aiding a criminal?

 

[prambo]

Cities and counties can't naturalize anyone. It means nothing except, IMHO, that they no longer want to be part of the USA.

Fine, cut them loose from all Federal entanglements, ALL.

The blood, shit, and piss in the streets within 24 hours would drown the fuckers.

Exactly how does a city go about making a citizen?
