sanctuary-cities

Robby Mook won’t say, either way?

We’ll take that as a “yes,” Robby.

Does Hillary Clinton support sanctuary cities or not? CNN’s Jake Tapper put that question to Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, when Mook appeared on “State of the Union” Sunday….

“I want to turn to the subject of immigration, because it’s a topic that’s sure to come up tomorrow. It’s a major part of the Trump campaign,” Tapper told Mook. “When it comes to Hillary Clinton, I have to ask about sanctuary cities — cities where they do not enforce federal immigration laws. And that sometimes means that people who are criminals, who are in this country illegally, end up getting free and committing worse crimes. It just is a fact that that does happen. Does Hillary Clinton consider sanctuary cities to be a problem?” Tapper asked.

“…Secretary Clinton has released a comprehensive plan for immigration reform. This is something she’s pledged to do in the first 100 days. We cannot have a situation where anybody is coming to this country illegally and committing crimes.

“And so she has, as I said, put out plans to make sure that we’re removing violent criminals from this country. But that is — that can happen at the same time that we’re not tearing families apart and that we’re making sure that hardworking people who have been here for a very long time come out of the shadows, come in to the system, pay those back taxes, become citizens, and so actually our economy can continue to grow.”

“I’m not clear, though,” Tapper followed up. “Does she want to end sanctuary cities or not? You said that people shouldn’t be coming into this country illegally….

“Well, I think that’s — I think that’s too narrow a view of this situation,” Mook said….
