Texas governor says he will ban sanctuary cities
The Hill ^ | 11/28/2016

Posted on 11/28/2016 7:20:14 AM PST by Altura Ct.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is pledging to ban sanctuary cities in his state as other governors and mayors promise to continue sheltering illegal immigrants.

"I'm going to sign a law that bans sanctuary cities," Abbott tweeted on Sunday.

"Also I've already issued an order cutting funding to sanctuary cities."

Abbott was responding to a Twitter user who questioned whether the Texas governor could do anything to reverse Austin's pledge to remain a sanctuary city. During his presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to deport millions of immigrants.

He said during an interview shortly after his victory he would prioritize deporting or jailing any undocumented immigrants who were members of gangs or had criminal records.

He also vowed during the campaign to block federal dollars from cities that give sanctuary to undocumented immigrants.

Democratic governors and mayors signaled earlier this month that they aren't prepared to go along with the Trump administration's plans.

I’m A-OK with any city deciding to be a sanctuary city.

PROVIDED the have the courage of their convictions to pay their own bills and not accept money from the government they defy.

When that happens, I simply ask, "Habla aleman?". Works well in the Hill Country, with its strong German influence.

Can't agree with that...such a policy is,among other things,an issue of national security.

Yup, but one definition of a liberal is someone who is generous with other people's money.

Ask them to support their own sanctuary status with their own money and see what happens!

Asesoramiento a todos los ilegales para hacer rápidamente una de las dos cosas antes de ser deportado de regreso a su país de origen.

1. Deport a ti mismo lo antes posible. No espere para regresar a su país de origen para los mejores trabajos y la vivienda. Si espera hasta enero de 2017, habrá cero puestos de trabajo y no habrá vivienda en México / América del Sur.

2. Si usted no hace # 1, entonces haga # 2: Inmediatamente vaya a una de estas ciudades del santuario enumeradas abajo y solicite la vivienda, el bienestar, las tarjetas EBT gratuitas, los teléfonos de Obama y Obama Care:

La Raza, antes LA, San José, Gay Frisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, San Luis, Nueva Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, Nueva York o Boston. No esperes o vivirás en las calles luchando contra las pandillas negras y BLM por territorio, comida y beneficios.

Batir la prisa, hacer # 1 o # 2 arriba

Bi lingo, in English form:

Advice to all illegals to quickly do one of two things before you are deported back to your home country.

1. Deport yourself asap. Do not wait to return to your home country for the best jobs and housing. If you wait until Jan 2017, there will be zero jobs and no housing in Mexico/South America.

2. If you don’t do #1, then do #2: Immediately go to one of these sanctuary cities listed below and apply for housing, welfare, free EBT cards, Obama phones and Obama Care:

La Raza, formerly LA, San Jose, Gay Frisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, St Louis, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, NYC or Boston. Don’t wait or you will be living on the streets fighting the black gangs and BLM for territory, food and benefits.

Beat the rush, do #1 or #2 above

Oh, and I did neglect to mention, funds that would have gone to a “sanctuary” city go to building a wall, funding ICE and the Border Patrol, and paying off the national debt...

Democratic governors and mayors signaled earlier this month that they
aren't going along with President-elect Trumps administration's plans.

REALITY CHECK the numbers of Demobum governors and mayors
decreased dramatically since midterm and the 2016 general elections.

Too bad.

=============================================

Isn't it strange (smirk)?

They’re always whining they're running out of SS money for working Americans who put in money for years.....

They’re always whining they're running out of pension money aging working Americans put in for years.

They’re always whining they're running out of Medicare money aging working Americans put in for years.

BUT....

They n-e-v-e-r e-v-e-r seem to run out of tax dollars to fund sanctuary cities, welfare and food stamps, education and healthcare, endless SS payments and EITC checks for these parasitic immigrants.

All of them on our soil illegally....money-guzzling creeps who never put a dime into the system.

And force them to do what?
