There have been some dumb takes from mayors and governors after President Trump “threatened” to give them exactly what they asked for: thousands of illegal immigrants bused into their cities and counties.

We thought Seattle’s mayor had the worst take of the day — Trump should visit the city to see how many homeless people they’ve managed to maintain? — but Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has taken first place with his hot take that America is a sanctuary country … in other words, please, Mr. President, don’t ship thousands of illegals to Chicago.

What President Trump fails to understand is that America is a sanctuary country. Small, medium & large cities across the nation are suddenly & rapidly identifying as sanctuary cities because of the abandonment of Americans values, ideals & cultural destiny under Trump’s watch. pic.twitter.com/hPzqgOefiw — Mayor Rahm Emanuel (@ChicagosMayor) April 12, 2019

Tying the rise of sanctuary cities to Donald Trump is one hell of a stretch — not to mention that it doesn’t explain the same phenomenon under Barack Obama.

We’re NOT a”sanctuary country” you idiot. https://t.co/bwXrJhNHEk — Sheryl {No collusion} Dogs are everything. #rescue (@sav01) April 13, 2019

A sanctuary country with immigration laws that are undermined by the policies of sanctuary cities. — Anthony Galizia (@neenos76) April 12, 2019

I must have missed the part when you went to the voters to ask if they wanted to be a Sanctuary City. Wonder what the results would be if you asked the taxpayers if they wanted to have their taxes raised to support more illegal aliens? — Mark Walls (@wcmarkwalls) April 12, 2019

Read between the lines …. SEND THEM ELSEWHERE Mr President. — NPOB Sports ETC (@_NPOB) April 12, 2019

As a pre-eminent sanctuary city, exactly how many migrants is Chicago prepared to accept this year, in order to prevent separating families and keeping kids in cages? — Silence Franklin (@SilenceFranklin) April 13, 2019

They are doing so to get votes, undermine the police, and turn our country into a third world nation, run by Democrats. We welcome immigrants, legal ones. You guys want illegal immigrants and no border. — Paul Coene (@tankfreepoker) April 12, 2019

Not that you’re going to read this, but you can not allow people who are not vetted into our communities! Immigration is good and needed, but we have no idea who these people are or what their agenda is; but Chicago will protect criminals that aren’t even citizens!! #sad — Susan Allgood????

I pray Trump drops bus loads and bus loads of illegals to you and Pelosi and the rest of you lawbreakers to your beautiful sanctuary. — Annmarie #IAMFLYNN⭐️⭐️⭐️ ?? ⭕️???‍♂️☘️ (@annk3999) April 12, 2019

What’s your point, oh long winded one? You ask for these people. You demand they be allowed to enter. Now you don’t want them brought here? Hypocrite. Enjoy your retirement, you hack. #Chicago #SanctuaryCities — Mayakovsky’s Ghost (@Loneprotester) April 12, 2019

Secure the damn southern border. How ridiculous — John Gillespie (@therealhautedog) April 12, 2019

Well then if that's your take on it let's remove quotas and let everyone in from any country. See how many US citizens go along with it. — Andrew K. (@agentandy71) April 13, 2019

Can we trade the violent gangbangers out for the refugees? Then you might get more Chicagoans supporting this idea. — Andrea B (@AndiVinci1) April 13, 2019

You want to be a sanctuary city, start taking in the bus load dude — GeneGeneDancnMachine (@GeneDanceMach) April 12, 2019

Notice how the Mayor didn't say bring them to Chicago? lol liar and hypocrite, bet the low income communities can't wait to get poorer, compete for jobs against people who will work for less then get our tax money to send their kids to school. — póg_mo_thóin (@S0uthSide_Irish) April 12, 2019

Rahm you’re an idiot. America is a republic founded with a constitution and laws. Those who enter America without permission are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Do you not know the meaning of ILLEGAL. — Don Synowiec (@DonSynowiec) April 12, 2019

How is that gang war going in Chicago? — ? Amber Lynn ? (@Alynn7513) April 12, 2019

You're an Epic fail. Just fade away quietly…. — Blues Bass Man (@BillHuston10) April 12, 2019
