asked host Blake Berman.[W]E saw today that the Justice Department filed lawsuits against Chicago, Cook County, Illinois and Democrats. Who is here, a DOJ to chase those areas and areas to be a sanctuary city? ”
Kuerer replied. “That's common sense. Look, I don't support sanctuary cities. There are no sanctuary cities along the border, because I want to make sure we have law and order, so someone comes to the US. If you want, they do it in a legal way like my parents, and that's important. So, no, I don't support sanctuary cities. And I'm in the policy of Sanctuary City. I think they even voted to cut the funds for it.”
Cuellar added: Who arrests the criminal? So, again, with respect to the field, it should not be a democratic or Republican question. You should say that if you enforce the law and there are criminals, criminal aliens, they should be chosen. above. “
Queer added that[I]f There are criminals, why do we protect criminals? You should not protect criminals. ”
