BREAKING : New Jersey Mayor Refuses to Turn His City Into a Sanctuary for Illegals
A New Jersey Mayor is refusing to sign legislation that would turn his city into a sanctuary for illegals, despite pressure from countless liberal groups.
What makes this story even more compelling, is this mayor is a Syrian immigrant who fled Aleppo back in the 80’s.

As a Syrian immigrant whose family fled Aleppo in 1980, weeks before hundreds of civilians were killed in a brutal siege, Michael Ghassali knows well the horrors facing today’s refugees.
But as the mayor of Montvale, Ghassali said, his allegiance is to the laws of his adopted country – even those he may personally disagree with.
That is why Ghassali has vowed that under his administration, Montvale will not be a sanctuary city.
“I will not be signing any executive orders that will ask our employees to defy federal laws. A mayor should not be advocating the defiance of federal laws,” Ghassali announced in a Facebook post last week that has elicited both praise and condemnation.
The statement was in response to pressure from various advocacy groups that Ghassali said have approached him to declare the borough a safe haven for undocumented immigrants.

Good man.
It’s not up to mayors to pick and choose which federal laws to follow.
I’m glad he for law and order, keep up the good work mayor
WTG, He’s not stupid falling for the liberal ruse to bow to ‘them’. There are more of us than ‘them’. I wish all liberals would simply flee USA and make a Liberal county to themselves. Trust me, we won’t bother you, we’ll never ever visit.
