Think of it, we can build an even bigger and better wall with all the money we're going to save here. Brilliant.

[digger48]

Fine.

Let them stay sanctuary cities and we’ll just build a wall around each city that defies Federal law.

And we’ll make Susana Mendoza pay for it.

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

Drain the democrat swamps of illegals.

[Ronin]

Cut off EBT card payments to any address in the sanctuary city and you will get their attention very quickly.

[Leaning Right]

So Trump has decided to follow the Rule of Law, and punish those cities who have chosen to ignore the Rule of Law.

Excellent!

"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."

It's not your own city. You are here illegally.

[Religion and Politics]

This is seriously shaping up as Trump’s moment to do like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers union.

Justice ends funding to ‘sanctuary cities’ in huge House GOP victory

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3447630/posts

Finally acting on a promise made to House leaders, the Justice Department on Thursday shut off funding to so-called “sanctuary cities” that ignore federal laws and protect illegal immigrants wanted for crimes.

“Today, the DOJ notified local and state law enforcement agencies across America that they will no longer be eligible for federal law enforcement grants unless they certify under oath that their local or state laws do not interfere ‘in any way’ with requests for immigration information from federal authorities,” according to Texas Rep. John Culberson who demanded action earlier this year.

Justice sent Culberson a letter detailing the new rules that cut off several Justice grants, many to law enforcement, if cities like San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and over 300 others block access to criminal illegals sought by federal authorities.

It is a huge victory for Culberson, chairman of the Commerce, Justice, and Science Subcommittee on Appropriations, and others who sought to shut down the once secret system in cities. The practice of taking federal money then refusing to give up criminal illegals became public after the 2015 San Francisco killing of Kate Steinle allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had been deported for crimes several times.

“Sanctuary cities are a hub for illegal aliens and criminal activity, and we’ve seen the tragic results of these policies time and time again. It has been more than a year since Kate Steinle was murdered at the hands of a criminal illegal alien who intentionally sought out shelter in San Francisco due to the city’s sanctuary policies. This violence and suffering is intolerable and completely preventable,” said Culberson.

Cut off funding retroactively to the beginning of the year and tell them they can reapply in 4 years.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

What is really sad is that no one is asking where the hell the US Government gets the constitutional authority for any funding to cities?

IMHO almost all Federal funding to cities/states needs to be eliminated. Most drive some socialist agenda anyway.

[eaglestar]

[Professional]

Cut off their voting for federal offices...

[Snowybear]

Congress controls the money right? What he can he do by himself?

[Mariner]

Somehow, someway, mayors and governors think they are going to weasel around this very, very big stick.

Of course they cannot let their citizens know they will fold like a cheap lawn chair, they have to wait until the money is actually cut off. Then plead.

Then fold.

Hope Trump does away with the anchor baby nonsense too.

Here’s what it means to 22-year-old Thais Marques, “It means that I can be safe in my own city,”

But are liberals and progressives losing their minds. And if they are losing their minds it means good things are happening for the country.

Pro Second Ammendment, anti murder in the womb judges to be appointed, sanctuary cities to be defunded, taxes and regulations reduced, more jobs, higher wages. Strong border security and our immigration laws enforced. A border wall. These are all the things Mr. Trump wants for this nation and it’s all good. I hope he can get it all done. He certainly is a man of action.

[Vendome]

Then it gets very expensive to have your position.

Cut em off

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

(from the article):" 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."

All actions .. have consequences !
Even the establishment of "sanctuary cities" !!

[genghis]

Step 1 all illegals on gov assistance must go. Step2 no valid SSN bus can’t deduct salary from taxes
