Should the Mayor of LA be paying illegals to stay home?

Can she be charged and the tax payer funded NGO she is using to do it?

    Yes, I believe it is right for her to support those who are affected by ICE raids. Characterizing as paying them to stay home is misleading in my opinion. I am not a legal expert so I can't comment on whether it is legal to provide cash assistance to residents who may or may not be citizens or legal residents.  Nor can I comment on her lawsuit calling the ICE raids illegal. 

    I will always be in favor of compassion toward fellow humans.

    Respectfully, I am only giving my opinion and have no intention of debating.

    I agree it is her right as a citizen.  
    I do not believe it is legal under federal laws. And certainly tax money (federal and/or Cal state) should not be used. And she has stated the city will be coordinating between the NGO and the philanthropists.  That costs time and money of the city which is of course paid by the taxpayers.

    I really don’t know if it is being done with tax dollars – but even if it is - I’m fine with it because Desperate times deserve desperate measures. ICE has been grabbing human beings that may or may not be an illegal and making them disappear with out a trace or due process. And it seems to me that some of the humans ICE grabs are based on skin and eye color.

    So until ICE no longer has the power to do that – keep them safe at home. And maybe while they are at home give them a on line coarse to learn a trade or profession that will benefit their community one fine day.

    Cheers!

    So you would be fine if Canada took your tax dollars and gave them to Mayor Bass to coordinate with the NGO so the illegals do not have to go to work?

    I would be OK with it if the Royal Canadian Mounted Police over stepped their authority and made human beings disappear with out a trace or due process. And it seemed like their actions were based on skin and eye color. And the leader of our country congratulated the for doing a “good” job. Cheers!

    Well it wouldn’t be fair if I did that. Because it is America that could benefit from the migrants not Canada. They are a needed/vital part of America’s work force and if they learn a trade or profession they are even more valuable. Cheers!
