Democrat Says ‘Left’ Is Out For Blood After He Criticized Chicago’s Shielding Of Illegal Migrants From ICE

A Chicago Democrat says the left is targeting him for proposing a moderate amendment to the city’s strict sanctuary policy forbidding cooperation between police and federal immigration authorities.

Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez says he is taking heat from the more liberal wing of his party for not demonizing President-elect Donald Trump for political gain and trying to find solutions to immigration enforcement that, he argues, better protects the city’s immigrant community. His comments come after his attempt to amend Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance fell flat with fellow lawmakers. (RELATED: Biden’s Immigration Legacy Is ‘Historic’ … For All The Wrong Reasons)
 
“The left is coming after folks like myself who are trying to find a middle ground,” Lopez stated to NBC News. “Because I’m not trying to make Donald Trump the enemy for the next four years to win my re-election.”

“I’m trying to protect people in the community,” he continued.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He may as well cross party lines.  He'll never get democrats to change.  If they don't have dirt on him, they'll create it, ala Adam Schiff, and do everything in their power to ruin his life. 11513
