Watch: SNL mocks Trump's threat to send migrants to sanctuary cities; 'What's the message: Have some more voters?'
As President Donald Trump threatens to make good on his pledge to send migrants detained at the border to so-called"sanctuary cities," the people at Saturday Night Live mocked the president's plan.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, foreign-born residents already make up in excess of 37 percent of New York City's population of 8.6 million. In response to the Post story, a White House statement claimed it was"just a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion," but Trump almost immediately undercut that statement on Friday, tweeting "we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities."
"We're working with DHS, we're working with ICE, to try and make sure that happens because after all, it's what they want. They should not say 'This is retribution politically,' they should say, 'This is an olive branch,'" he told host Jeanine Pirro.
