Larry Kudlow: Why Aren't Sanctuary Cities Obeying Immigration Laws?

Trump's Stance on Immigration and Law Enforcement

• 🎯 President Trump is focusing on closing the border and promoting law and order, including in Minnesota.
• 🚀 He claims that his past actions have led to reduced crime, citing the removal of thousands of criminals, including those from Venezuela.
• 📈 Trump also highlights a "Trump boom" with record highs in the S&P, business growth, and declining energy prices, suggesting the country is safer under his influence.

Enforcement of Immigration Laws

• 🏛️ Trump emphasizes that laws must be enforced, particularly immigration laws, and that sanctuary city policies protecting criminals are unacceptable.
• 🤝 When federal agencies like ICE and the National Guard cooperate with local officials, the results have been excellent, as seen in Washington D.C. and Minnesota.
• 📊 In five Republican-led states (Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana), ICE arrested over 150,000 criminal illegal aliens in the past year due to cooperation between local police and ICE, with no protests or chaos.

Sanctuary Jurisdictions and Cooperation

• ⚠️ Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch blames sanctuary jurisdictions for problems, as these Democratic-led governments prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
• 📍 Texas, which cooperates with federal authorities, has not experienced the same issues as Minneapolis, which refuses to cooperate despite having a smaller fraction of illegal immigrants.
• ✅ Kudlow concludes that simply obeying the laws would lead to better outcomes for all.
