Good morning kids. One link in particular this morning made me think of famed wit Oscar Wilde's brilliant pearl of wisdom:

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The last is much the worst, the last is the real tragedy.

And one of the toniest, most exclusive towns in America, if not the world, is getting it good and hard.

East Hampton government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents’ fears that local police could deport illegal migrants from the tony town — many of whom work as maids, landscapers, and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the well-off locals.
Village and town leaders held a special community meeting on Tuesday to assure citizens of Long Island’s exclusive nabe — where the median property value is $2 million — that their hired help are not on their radar when it comes to deportation. 
East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson stressed that local law enforcement do not have authority to enforce federal law — and won’t hold onto undocumented immigrants if given an ICE detainer. East Hampton government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents’ fears that local police could deport illegal migrants from the tony town — many of whom work as maids, landscapers, and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the well-off locals.

Village and town leaders held a special community meeting on Tuesday to assure citizens of Long Island’s exclusive nabe — where the median property value is $2 million — that their hired help are not on their radar when it comes to deportation. 

East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson stressed that local law enforcement do not have authority to enforce federal law — and won’t hold onto undocumented immigrants if given an ICE detainer. The sentiment was echoed by East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo at a separate meeting.

“Our level of participation and cooperation with ICE lies in criminal matters,” Sarlo told the town board at a meeting Tuesday.

“I haven’t seen an ICE agent in this town in I can’t tell you how long.”

“You see what I’m wearing here,” Sarlo said dramatically pointing to his firearm, “People who wear this and put this on don’t interfere with other people who wear this and put this on because then people die. You don’t step in front of an Immigration Enforcement officer in uniform with a gun and a badge who’s taking his action.”

“That’s for attorneys to get involved in and that is for policies and procedures through the state to get involved,” he added.Some East Hampton residents were grateful for the reassurance that their undocumented employees and neighbors will be able to avoid deportation.

“I think it’s a very good idea and very helpful considering we have a very large community here, and people rely on them,” Alex Lovett, of East Hampton, told News12.

“They’ve been a vital part of the community for a very long time,” she empathized.

The local officials said a major purpose for the small-scale messaging campaign is to assure undocumented residents that they can interact with police without fear of deportation.

“If they’re a victim of a crime, we don’t want them to fear the police, we want them to call us so we can protect them,” Erickson said in an interview to the local news station. . .

. . . Also on Tuesday, the East Hampton Town Board held a two-hour public hearing where members of the Latino community expressed their concerns over the Trump administration’s new immigration policies.

Sandra Melendez — an East Hampton Village trustee, immigration attorney, and Spanish speaker –addressed the community and stressed that they are not obligated to cooperate with ICE, the local paper reported.

At that town board hearing Councilwoman Cate Rogers stated that the well-heeled townies will remain vigilant as the federal government attempts to enforce immigration law. “The rules are being rewritten by the second,” the councilwoman said, according to the East Hampton Star. “I want to assure everyone that this is the beginning of a conversation. It’s not a one-and-done statement, ‘Okay we did our job let’s move on.’ We’re invested. We’re your neighbors, and we’re with you.” This resistance-style approach taken by the officials in East Hampton is a far cry from the actions taken by authorities elsewhere on Long Island.

Earlier this week, Nassau County police were granted authority to help ICE arrest criminal migrants under a new agreement with the Trump administration.

First of all, any elected official who is interfering with federal law enforcement agents from carrying out their duties is committing a felony and should be charged, tried, convicted and imprisoned. Tom Homan to his credit has stated he wil be going after anyone and everyone who does this. I hope he slaps cuffs on that fat barrel of goo and lipids JB Sitz-Pritzker and anyone else with a notion to "resist."

Like I said, good and hard! Beyond them, any citizen who employs an illegal alien is harboring a criminal and as such is committing a felony themselves! Fines, property seizures and imprisonment will focus minds good and hard, n'est ce pas?

Here's an idea. The big lie Lefties always belch up is how illegals are doing the jobs Americans refuse to do? What if Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and Latinos of other stripes (actual legal citizens) who live in shitholes like Spanish Harlem and the South Bronx decided to declare themselves as migrants and drift out t the Hamptons looking for sanctuary! Now that would be hilarious. Hey Hamptons lefties, I've got your nannies and maids and gardeners right here! (presupposes our native-born welfare queens and layabout victims of the Great Society want to actually work. Then again, being on the beach in East Hampton is a damn shot nicer than dog crap, garbage and crack pipe strewn 125 street or Webster Avenue.

Round 'em up, ship 'em out and start with the Democrat Mayors and Governors. To Federal Prison.
