As part of his 100-day action plan, President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to block all federal funding to sanctuary cities.
What is a sanctuary city? Here's what it means to 22-year-old Thais Marques, an undocumented immigrant who lives in the sanctuary city of Newark, N.J.: "It means that I can be safe in my own city," she said. "If I get pulled over or if something happens, I know that my family won't be detained and I won't be detained."
More than 350 counties, cities and states are so-called sanctuaries. There isn't a legal definition for a "sanctuary city." But, generally, these places have policies, police department orders or nonbinding resolutions that limit government officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
"It isn't the duty or the obligation of a local police officer or social worker to inquire about a person's immigration status or to enforce those immigration laws," said Dan Kesselbrenner, executive director of the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild.
Illinois Comptroller-elect Susana Mendoza said Trump's plan to block federal funding to sanctuary cities "is morally corrupt, but more importantly, it's fiscally unsound."
Without much detail from Trump, it's not clear how much money Chicago could lose, Mendoza said. But, she added, it'd likely be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Trump needs to stop funding for all sanctuary cities, counties and states:

Drain the democrat swamps of illegals.>>>> aggreed but it would interesting if trump just didn’t fund any funds transfer from the fed to the states. not constitutional anyways. just sayin.
Can we make mayors and other officials that refuse to,obey the law personally liable in civil lawsuits filed by Americans who are victims of crimes committed by the illegals? Hit jerks like Rahmbo where their hearts are. In their bank accounts.
Ask yourself what if we stopped obeying laws that dealt with LBGTQ issues? You know, like refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding? What if we has “sanctuary bskerys” ???
When ever a illegal from a sanctuary city harms someone that city should be libel for damages.
Illinois Comptroller-elect Susana Mendoza said Trump’s plan to block federal funding to sanctuary cities “is morally corrupt, but more importantly, it’s fiscally unsound.”
NO IT IS MORALLY CORRUPT TO BURDEN ILLINOIS TAXPAYERS WITH A 5 BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR TAX BURDEN FOR FREE SERVICES FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT YOU INVITED TO ILLINOIS!!!!!!!!
Why do some media places deceive and call certain non-citizens “undocumented immigrants”? Almost all of them have documentation. In most cases they came here on tourist visas. In most of these and most of the rest there are a plethora of documents such as school records, rental/ownership records, employment records, and other transaction records that leave quite a paper trail. In some situations the people are law-abiding aliens. In other cases they are non law-abiding aliens, or more simply put, lawbreaking aliens.
I think that we need to solve this problem responsibly and heartfully. However for those who wish to immigrate the process must start in the consulates and be followed honestly from the start.
“Cut off EBT card payments”
I favor this approach. Cut off all payments and make everyone re-register and a careful, time consuming review of each application to confirm it is accurate.
Let the local politicians explain to their “voters” why taking care of illegals is more important than taking care of them.
EBT Lives Matter.
As stated on the Trump transition site:
“Turn Off the Jobs and Benefits Magnet”
As the late John Newton Mitchell prophetically said, “Watch what we do, not what we say!” And the Nixon administration was known for conservative talking but liberal doing.
Another boost would be to grant authority to state and local authorities to enforce immigration laws. Empower local law enforcement to detain and charge violators. This would need to be done in such a way as to reach beyond the Trump era. Prevent future administration’s from changing without legislation.
Man it is going to be an epic first 100 days. It’s going to be the political equivalent of the retaking of Fallujah. A showdown with the sanctuary cities is just going to be one of many fights. I hope Trump and his team are getting mentally prepared for what’s coming. It’s actually good that the left is telegraphing its intent to defy and to undermine, so that Trump has a preview. Or, maybe more importantly, it gives the public a preview, so that people understand when Trump goes in with a flame thrower.
Trump promises to block funding to sanctuary cities ... property taxes set to go through the roof.
Bulll$h1t!
It is the job of the police to enforce the law. Sneaking into this country is a crime.
Is it the "job" of a social worker to report drug abuse? Wife beating? Child abuse? Of course those things are mandatory reportable offenses.
So don't give us this bull.
You simply don't want to see the law enforced, because the democrats depend on those votes, and your trashed cities depend on the money in graft they can get for having all these people live there.
or social worker to inquire about a person's immigration status
Are these not the same people (liberals) who DEMAND your doctor ask you if you have any guns in your home?
What does the third map represent?
Prior to accepting any federal grant or loan, EVERY non federal government agency, city, or county, must pass statutes stating they will comply with ALL federal laws!
And every grant or loan clearly stipulates that failure to comply will result in loss of funds, payback of any funds already spent, and possible criminal punishments
Sanctuary cities.
SANCTUARY CITIES
Perfecto, amiga Liz!
That’s quite a pattern, there....a pattern the libs/Dems/leftists refuse to see!! Thanks for making it easier for them ;-)
