Glenn Beck Show: Why shipping illegals to Cambridge seems like a perfect fix to the immigration crisis
“He’s a horse in a hospital,” Glenn Beck says of President Donald Trump, discussing the latest immigration tweet, which posed sending illegal aliens to sanctuary cities.
Beck’s Monday show discussed the idea, posting that Chicago was an option, but Cambridge, Massachusetts seemed like the perfect to accommodate these “migrants.”

“The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,” Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend. “We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!”
Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities that are struggling with rising homelessness. Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans across the country.
“Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter.

Sanctuary city New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio originally blasted Trump for the plan, claiming the president was using illegal aliens as “chess pieces,” but he then advocated for giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses in order to attract more illegal aliens to the state.
“Undocumented immigrants are our neighbors and part of the backbone of our economy,” de Blasio wrote online. “It’s mind-boggling that they aren’t allowed to have driver’s licenses in New York State.”
In interviews with the Daily Beast, sanctuary city mayors from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and Cambridge, Massachusetts, said their jurisdictions would be happy to welcome all illegal aliens.
Cambridge has always been at the front of the “sanctuary city” philosophy, adding free legal support in 2017.
“As President Trump continues to issue Executive Orders intended to round up and deport undocumented immigrants, people in diverse, progressive communities like Cambridge have been growing increasingly alarmed at the prospect of themselves, their friends, or their neighbors being subjected to harassment and/or intimidation from Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] officers,” the 2017 City Council order read.
The publicity stunt seems doomed to fail with humans as the pawns.
Boston Globe report headlined “Cambridge welcomes refugees, but few are resettled there” found that in 2017 “well-meaning residents and local politicians have hit a brick wall — not President Trump’s travel ban, but the city’s high cost of living.”
That’s Beck’s point.
Make a statement in a high rolling, rich area of the country, bring in thousands and overwhelm the community.
