As Joe Concha tweeted last night, Bill DeBlasio appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper to kiss any aspirations for national office goodbye. DeBlasio defended the Big Apple’s status as a “sanctuary city,” but claimed they will cooperate with the feds on immigration enforcement when it comes to violent crimes by suspects illegally in the US.
“If you’re a drunk driver and you’re an undocumented immigrant, why should there be a place for you in this country?” Tapper asked.
“Jake, there are 170 offenses in that law that are listed as serious and violent crimes that lead to automatic cooperation between the city of New York and our federal partners,” DeBlasio replied. “So any serious and violent crime, we’re going to work with them.”
“Is grand larceny or drunk driving a very minor offense?” Tapper followed.
