Cory Booker Admits Sanctuary Cities Are Unsafe On Live Television

Democratic presidential candidate Senator Cory ‘Spartacus’ Booker, of New Jersey made a fool of himself (again) during an appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Spartacus single-handedly destroyed the dem narrative that sanctuary cities are safe havens for illegals and pose no threat to legal Americans.

As you know, President Trump is considering sending the massive overflow of illegal immigrants to these sanctuary cities where they are ‘welcome with open arms.’

Democrats claim to want these illegals in America but when it comes to figuring out where to put them they don’t want them anywhere near their homes or in their districts.

In fact, Booker says that sanctuary cities are not safe and adding more illegal immigrants to them would make them less safe.

From “Face The Nation”:

Democratic presidential candidate Senator Cory Booker, of New Jersey, accused President Trump of trying to incite anger and divide Americans with his threat to release undocumented immigrants from the border into sanctuary cities. CBS News’ “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan asked Booker whether the president’s threat was an empty one — whether he was, perhaps, creating friction in order to jumpstart a Congress that has not acted on immigration.

“You say ‘friction’ — I say he’s trying to pit Americans against each other and make us less safe,” Booker told Brennan in an interview following his kick-off presidential campaign rally on Saturday in his hometown of Newark, a sanctuary city.

So-called “sanctuary cities” offer safe harbor for undocumented immigrants who might otherwise be deported by federal immigration authorities. The president complained Friday about the increasing numbers of migrants crossing, whom he referred to as “illegals,” and said, “We’ll bring them to sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care of it, whether it’s a state or whatever it might be.”

He added, “California certainly is always saying, ‘Oh, we want more people.’ And they want more people in their sanctuary cities. Well, we’ll give them more people. We can give them a lot. We can give them an unlimited supply. And let’s see if they’re so happy.”

Asked whether he takes the president’s threat seriously, Booker replied, “I take this. He is injecting fear into our country.”

How would releasing undocumented immigrants into sanctuary cities be any less safe than releasing them into non-sanctuary cities? Is he stating that releasing undocumented immigrants is unsafe? Hhhhmmm. https://t.co/dgMoS5ct3l

Less safe? Hmm. I thought the political talking point was illegals make our communities better! As someone who has lived in a border state (and within 100 mile of the border) a majority of my life I know better. Cory, of course, never has. https://t.co/EcJWQGsI3h

If it makes us less safe to have them here, then why are we letting them in?
