Debbie Schlussel: Welcome to D-Mecca, Sanctuary City
It's official. Detroit is a sanctuary city--where the weak are killed and eaten, and illegal aliens are holier than thou.
Detroit decided to become a sanctuary city out of deference to its Muslim residents and friends--and a little prodding from CAIR. After all, the Banana Republic of the Detroit City Council must make sure that, like the Fort Dix Six Islamic terrorists (who intentionally operated in sanctuary cities), Detroit's Islamofascist malefactors can do "the job Americans just won't do," without any interference from law enforcment.
Here are a few excerpts--along with my analysis--from the reporting on this story by Detroit Free Press resident Islamist Niraj Warikoo:
An ordinance that bans profiling was approved Wednesday by the Detroit City Council. It prohibits police and city employees from asking about the immigration status of residents.The council voted unanimously for the law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, dress, physical appearance and immigration status. Under the new law, police cannot ask people for their immigration papers unless it was related to a crime.
Dumb Debbie Question: It's not a crime to be here illegally?
In Detroit, some immigrants complain that, after being pulled over by police, they have been asked for residency papers. Others say they are afraid to apply for city help or programs such as home-repair assistance because of their immigration status.
Hmmm . . . Illegal aliens afraid to take America's tax-funded services? And that's a problem because . . . ?
"It's not something a city employee should be asking," said City Council President Kenneth Cockrel Jr., who introduced the bill. "It's not within their purview."
Dumb Debbie Question #2: So, Detroit Police Officers don't take that oath that most other police in America take, swearing to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States? What's the frequency, Kenneth? Ever hear of the Immigration and Nationality Act?
The ordinance was introduced after talks with Latino, Arab and Muslim groups. . . .On Tuesday, Detroit Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings . . . said the department is against profiling and that police should not generally enforce federal immigration laws.
Dumb Debbie Repeat of Question #2: So, Detroit Police Officers don't take that oath that most other police in America take, swearing to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States? Ever hear of the Immigration and Nationality Act? Ella Bully-Cummings is supposed to be a lawyer, but she hasn't a single clue about the law, quite apparently.
Dawud Walid, head of the Michigan branch of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, said he is pleased with the council's vote. "The city of Detroit should be seen as a place that is not hostile to immigrants."
Translation:
The city of Detroit should be seen as a place that is not hostile to immigrants involved in the Islamic terrorist groups I openly support and refuse to denounce, like HAMAS, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc., etc., etc.
