00:00:00.610 --> 00:00:03.290
>> So I urge the
city of Philadelphia

00:00:03.290 --> 00:00:05.380
and every sanctuary city

00:00:05.380 --> 00:00:09.300
to reconsider carefully
the harm they are doing

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.900
to their residents by
refusing to cooperate

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.950
with federal law enforcement,
to rethink these policies.

00:00:15.950 --> 00:00:18.680
Let's see if we can't
get on the same path.

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:21.600
And we've had some good
meetings with a number

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.120
of cities in that regard.

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:25.750
If we're going to stop the rise

00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:28.550
of violent crime,
let's work together.

00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:32.640
Some jurisdictions in this
country refuse to cooperate

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:37.870
with the federal government
and immigration authorities,

00:00:37.870 --> 00:00:40.200
to turn over illegal aliens

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.150
who commit crimes,
even MS13 members.

00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:48.310
These policies are often
called sanctuary policies,

00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:55.180
but they are giving sanctuary
not to law-abiding citizens

00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:58.050
of our communities, they're
providing sanctuaries

00:00:58.050 --> 00:00:59.540
to criminals.

00:01:01.010 --> 00:01:04.410
>> In Philadelphia, probably
like a lot of major cities,

00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:06.180
as it relates to violent crime,

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:09.030
our problems are not
people from other countries.

00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:11.780
Our problems are some of
the young men from here

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:15.320
who are hopeless
about a lot of things.

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:16.410
They're dealing with poverty.

00:01:16.410 --> 00:01:18.400
They're dealing with
economic issues.

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.220
And, remember, that
we enforce the law

00:01:22.220 --> 00:01:23.160
in the police department.

00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:24.840
And so whatever the
laws are, they are.

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.380
I just stress that I
don't personally believe

00:01:27.380 --> 00:01:28.980
that we belong in the
immigration business.
