WASHINGTON, D.C. — California State Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach), who is one of two Republicans running in the Democrat-heavy field of 2018 gubernatorial candidates, says “defunding every sanctuary jurisdiction in the State of California” will be one of his priorities if he becomes the Golden State’s 40th governor. Allen, who has served in the State Assembly for five years, told Breitbart News that defunding California’s sanctuary cities would “absolutely and without a doubt” be one of his top priorities in the first 100 days of taking office.
“California communities have to be made safe,” Allen said, “It makes absolutely no sense to shelter people who are in our state illegally and committing crimes with taxpayer dollars.”
In an op-ed he penned in the Washington Examiner this week, Allen wrote:
By enacting SB 54 and declaring California a “sanctuary state,” Jerry Brown and liberal Sacramento politicians are draining citizenship of meaning and making a mockery of that history and those aspirations. They have taken a knee to the demands of identity politics – declaring illegal immigrants a protected class, and ordering state and local law enforcement to provide them with special protection.

Its hard to imagine, but Reagan actually won this state...my how times have changed.
What CA needs is a Trump-like person to run.
They will win in a landslide.
Make sure it is a REAL Trump- not a pretend RINO one.
The pretend conservatives is how we got 50 ‘repeal Obamacare’ votes- until it was actually possible, then none.

He has my vote!
WELL, if he’s going to defund the sanctuary cities how does he expect the illegals to vote for him? I ask you that!
wish we had more people willing to run that would commit to these sane and necessary things.
I’ll see if i can send a few bucks his way.
big uphill battle for him to win but maybe God’s will?
It is an uphill battle in California.
<>Teachers
<>Unionistas
<>Fake voters
<>Illegals
This guy will get 45% of the vote and give the commies a scare.
If he is able to raise enough money to get on the radar.
Aren’t Republicans a Disappearing Species in California?
“It is an uphill battle in California.”
You forgot the fact that Dim voting is the cultural imperative.
It is anti-cool to vote GOP.
Only old, stuffy, white Nazis vote GOP.
Your first priority should be to Implement Prop 187 in it’s entirety on Day One.
Watch the people flock to your campaign. and of course you will be ruthlessly attacked, but we call that FREE Publicity.

I doubt if the RNC will give him much, if any support.
My vote is going to the Git’m Out Party.
A Trump-like person ran in CA last November and lost big. Fortunately, it didn’t matter for picking our president.
CA is gone - completely beyond rehabilitation. That gangrene puss-festering sore cannot calexit itself out of here fast enough.
Yeah he took my state New York too. I can’t Envision New York New Jersey or California ever going Republican for president of the United States again.
California has rigged their elections so that it will be a Democrat vs a Democrat for the general.
No chance of a Republican ever being elected.
How is a Republican governor ever going to defund any liberal policy in a state that has a democrap controlled legislature?
Good luck with that.
California is fast becoming a third world banana republic.
Problem is we are too honest.
hell, it wasnt even all that long ago either... sad.
