Taxpayers shouldn\u2019t foot bill for Bottoms\u2019 open-borders stance<\/strong><\/p>\n

As if to underline liberals\u2019 mindlessness on our national illegal immigration crisis, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has ended the city\u2019s association with ICE on detention of illegal aliens awaiting deportation.<\/p>\n

The city will now lose about $7.5 million in annual revenue from the feds. \u201cIt is a significant financial hit to our budget,\u201d says Bottoms. \u201cThat shows how strongly the city of Atlanta feels about the position as it relates to ICE.\u201d She also proudly uses taxpayer funds to support the victims of borders with legal defense in the same deportation proceedings.<\/p>\n

Now illegal aliens who are captured here will be held in South Georgia – separated from any metro-area families by a far greater distance. \u201cAtlanta will no longer be complicit in a policy that intentionally inflicts misery on a vulnerable population,\u201d said the mayor.<\/p>\n

Bottoms says she objects to the Trump doctrine of border security \u2013 even for illegal crossers who use children as shields. But it\u2019s not clear if she understands that ICE is not involved in enforcement at the border.<\/p>\n

It looks like Bottoms simply objects to borders and is willing to prove it with other people\u2019s money.<\/p>\n
