You just answered your own question -- States refused to cooperate. What was Trump supposed to do?
What Trump has wanted to do has been blocked by Dems and tied up in court.
But, courts finally gave him the go ahead to deny grants to sanctuary cities. One judge cleared the use of military spending to construct the border wall. The courts are shifting thanks to Trump's judicial appointments.
And, his pressure on Mexico to control the border and retain asylum seekers has began to reduce the flow of illegals.
All federal election results from sanctuaries will be declared void because non citizens were allowed to vote.
The records he request are publicly available go get them.
But, courts finally gave him the go ahead to deny grants to sanctuary cities.
Threats to cut off some federal money does not equal criminal charges for breaking the law. Barr has done nothing but play his bagpipes which is appropriate for blow hards. Quit bragging about what you are going to do and you won't look so foolish when you don't do it.
Freepers that point out the President is being stymied at every turn on immigration are not going to vote democratic under any circumstances and those that say otherwise are just being silly. Saying it would be much worse under Clinton does not in any way fix the problem, it is just an excuse.
Yep that report will be out in June.
That should be a last resort. Cutting off funding should be the first thing done and, now, that can be done thanks to judges he appointed to the circuit courts.
That is a FACT. Even if he the DOJ start arresting sanctuary city mayors, they'd be out on bail and resume the policies. It's questionable whether they'd ever be convicted.
Well they certainly won't be if they are not tried.
Surrender before the first shot is so French.
Arm chair quarterbacks like you don't have any solutions that are guaranteed to work.
You know that claiming something is done only lasts as long as no one actually checks your work. Did you clean your room? Yes mom, I did, works until mom comes and looks. Then what happens?
It is great that This President has accomplished unbelievable things and he is rightfully bragging about it as are we are. The problem I have is bragging about things he hasn't done in the hope they will be done before anyone notices. Well some of us have noticed and you browbeating us doesn't change that fact.
Name one immigration issue that has improved, you can't. Now back off you are beginning to look like the Bush sycophants of years past.
Good grief. This is NOT a monarchy and this is the one issue Democrats and cheap labor Republicans have done everything they can to stop Trump from accomplishing anything. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
I love how people like you keep offering solutions (like shutting down the government) but when Trump tries your ideas, they don't work, either.
If you were in charge, absolutely nothing would be different. It's sickening to see people like you complain when your ideas wouldn't have accomplished anything more. You arrogant blowhard.
Trump is taking a course to make major inwards on the issue but that only occur when courts finally let him build significant chucks of the wall.
I asked if you could name one, you can't. Instead you come back with more attacks. You are the blowhard, not me.
