New York City voters in November could have the power to repeal “misguided and dangerous” “sanctuary city” laws that severely limit the NYPD’s ability to cooperate with the feds on immigration matters and are a clear “threat to public safety.”
Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island), Robert Holden (D-Queens) and six other members of the City Council’s “Common Sense Caucus” fired off a letter this week to a newly-appointed Charter Revision Commission, asking it to put a referendum question on the ballot to determine whether to roll back the “sanctuary” laws that help criminals avoid deportation.
“We are writing to urge the Charter Revision Commission to advance a ballot initiative asking voters if New York City should repeal recent so-called ‘sanctuary city’ laws that prohibit members of law enforcement and other agencies from cooperating with federal authorities to help detain or remove unauthorized, non-citizens who have committed crimes in our city,” says the letter dated Tuesday.
“We feel these laws, as currently construed, are not only misguided and dangerous, they have strayed far from their original purpose of fostering public safety. Ultimately it should be put to voters to decide who is right.”
Earlier this month, Holden and Borelli drafted legislation to repeal the sanctuary laws — but they realize it’s a pipe dream to think the Council’s left-wing majority would pass it.
So they’re hoping for better luck with the commission, which was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, a retired NYPD cop and moderate Dem who has said the current rules are too soft on crime.
Some Common Sense Caucus members expect to pitch the referendum plan in person during a future public hearing hosted by the commission. Both Holden and Borelli said they believe voters would back their proposed ballot initiative.

I wouldn't characterize Adams as a "Moderate" democrat. A Racist, bigoted democrat is more of an accurate description.
These are not "good people" who are coming over here. In fact, Trump was right, these are "bad hombres" crossing the border. We, as citizens, should have the right to vote on whether or not we want our tax dollars to keep paying for these degenerates to stay here or not. Look at that pedo in queens who just rated that little 13 years old girl. We, the taxpayers, were paying for that pos to live FOR FREE in a hotel. It's just beyond disgusting and I think nyc is ready for a change. Next time, it could be your child who is the victim.

Chuckie Schumer doesn't even know how to cook a cheeseburger. Yet he runs the Senate.
If the Chamber of Horrors and other corporations want cheap labor, they shall have it. They own the country, not the people.
If you want to have a say in what happens in government, the first thing that needs to be removed is "Citizens United" and the corporate owned justices that allowed it. That's just a small start.
No billionaire should have more of a say than any single voter.

Biden promised that he would undo everyone of Trump’s border security measures, which brought illegal immigration to 70-year lows. Dem voters called Trump racist for simply enforcing immigration laws. Can you Democrats tell me why you voted for Biden when he promised to allow millions of people to enter the country without vetting, background checks or vaccines?
They just want to pick our lettuce right libtards...
China Joe has finally pulled it off, he has made every single state a border state. Ain't it great!
New York City politicians have their priorities, and taxpayers, citizens and children are not any of them.
All the country has to do is impose expensive penalties for anyone that employs someone here illegally, with exceptions such as farm workers. In other words, a tightly controlled citizen ID, such as Real ID or a US Passport, would be required to employ anyone. The illegals would self deport because they'd have no money. And they'd stop coming here.
Woke "Regressives" turn everything to shit !
