UPDATED 10:32 AM PT — Thursday, April 4, 2019San Diego County is suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the rising cost of asylum seekers. The Southern California county filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the heads of the agencies within the department, claiming the county has suffered from the release of asylum-seeking migrants.
Many illegal immigrants can not be immediately deported and must be allowed to stay in the country to wait out their court case, because of loopholes in immigration law.
Due to limited funds and housing resources, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were forced to stop implementing their “safe release” policy last fall, which provided asylum seekers assistance to reach destinations outside of San Diego.
The county is now left to front the bill for the upkeep of migrant shelters and medical care, which is estimated to cost millions of dollars.
County officials are seeking a permanent injunction, which would require ICE to resume their “safe release” policy and to reimburse them.
This lawsuit is a dramatic shift for San Diego as supervisors last April voted to back the Trump administration’s lawsuit challenging California sanctuary laws.
San Diego County chairwoman Dianne Jacob claimed the lawsuit is not a matter of politics, but of the rising costs of asylum seekers in the county.

Isn't this about right for Dems? Create the problem, stir it up, then look for Big Brother to bail their asses out. :rolleyes:

They should be suing their own state for their sanctuary laws.

Never underestimate the double standard and retardation of the left.

They will scream in your face and spit on you for disagreeing with them, and then call YOU the BIGOT.

There's never been a more TRASHY bunch of people in America. These people are human garbage.

You know what though Gunny, the federal government has created the problem and the added cost to state and local governments, so they should pay.

I mean obviously what they should do is fix the god damned system, but if they won't fix it and it ends up costing local governments more, why should they have to carry that burden rather than the feds?

Our Congress must be the most useless collection of losers in the entire world.
