It’s no secret that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is a big proponent of keeping his city a sanctuary for illegal aliens, but there’s something that doesn’t fall under Bill de Blasio’s generous “sanctuary” umbrella, and that’s AirBnB operators and whatever riff-raff that might be drawn to their operations:

No “illegals” allowed… at least when it comes to hotel rooms:

We won’t let bad actors take entire apartment buildings and turn them into illegal hotels for tourists. https://t.co/7SZOZjufDu — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) February 19, 2019

Well, what if Air BnB would instead refer to them as “sanctuary hotels” for tourists — would it be OK then?

In other words: "Tourists unwelcome in 'illegal hotels". Illegal aliens welcome to our sanctuary city!." — I ? Cow Farts (@IncarnadineSeas) February 19, 2019

But you’re all for NYC being a sanctuary city. You are a slumlord to this beautiful city. — Kimberly Ryan (@kryan157) February 19, 2019

Priorities, progressive-style!
