Start Arresting Sanctuary Politicians as Accessories to Illegal Alien Crimes: Florida CFO [WATCH]

Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia criticized sanctuary policies during a recent statement, arguing that such policies attract illegal immigrants who go on to commit crimes across multiple jurisdictions and shield them from deportation.

Ingoglia said past failures to enforce immigration law allowed criminal offenders to relocate to sanctuary areas, where additional crimes were committed.

Ingoglia described a pattern in which illegal immigrants who commit crimes are not removed from the country and instead move to jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

“Illegal Immigrant commit a crime, let’s say, in in in Oregon, and they’re an illegal immigrant, and sometimes these crimes are heinous,” Ingoglia said.

“And in years past, under previous administrations, they would call ICE and ask them to deport, and they wouldn’t.”

According to Ingoglia, when deportation does not occur, offenders often move to sanctuary jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal enforcement.

“And they would eventually wind up and say, like, Washington State, Seattle, another sanctuary jurisdiction,” he said.

Ingoglia said that in some cases, the same individuals go on to commit additional crimes after relocating.

“Only to find out that that same criminal, illegal alien committed another crime there,” he said.

“And it was a sanctuary policy that attracted them there.”

Ingoglia argued that sanctuary policies create incentives for illegal immigrants with criminal records to seek out jurisdictions where they believe they will face fewer consequences, which he said increases public safety risks for residents.

He went on to suggest a more aggressive approach to ending sanctuary policies by holding elected officials accountable for the outcomes of the policies they support.

“The easiest way to get rid of sanctuary policies is maybe we should start charging the politicians with crimes that vote for the sanctuary policies,” Ingoglia said.

Ingoglia said politicians who support sanctuary measures should be treated as legally responsible for crimes committed by illegal immigrants in those jurisdictions.

“And make them accessories to whatever crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in those jurisdictions,” he said.

According to Ingoglia, sanctuary policies directly contribute to crimes that would not have occurred if immigration law had been enforced earlier.

“Because, to me, they are absolutely complicit in the crime because it never should have happened in the first place,” he said.

He emphasized that responsibility rests with lawmakers who enact and defend sanctuary policies.

“But for those sanctuary policies, but for some, some politician voting, thinking that that’s okay so,” Ingoglia said.
