White House: Trump executive order will 'defund' sanctuary cities
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/25/17 | Sarah Westwood

Posted on 01/25/2017 11:33:39 AM PST by markomalley

President Trump will direct his secretary of homeland security to examine ways the administration can suspend grants to so-called "sanctuary cities," or areas where law enforcement agents do not enforce immigration laws, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday.

"What the executive order does is, it directs the secretary to ... look at funding streams that are going to these cities ... and figure out how we can defund those streams," Spicer said of an executive action Trump was expected to sign later in the day.

Spicer dismissed suggestions that Trump would seek to deport children who were brought into the country illegally by their parents. Those individuals, known as "dreamers," are protected under an Obama administration executive order.

"His priority with respect to immigration is, first and foremost, making sure that people who are in the country who seek to do us harm" are removed, Spicer said.

They had a case publicized yesterday. An illegal was being deported for a DUI to Spain.

Well, guess what....Hubby said...If she has to go and can't get back in legally...he and the two kids will move to be with her (his wife).

Others should follow that excellent example....bye bye...

P.S. He said they'll have to learn Spanish. I'd guess that's one big lie.

Cut the funding to the sanctuary cities, punish employers who hire illegals, stop giving tax refunds to illegals and cut all government funding for illegals. If the government holds to that the illegal population will start to self deport.

Hubby is an illegal alien as well, should have been deported with her.
We should not wait until they have been caught and convicted of something before deporting them.
He knows Spanish, he’s from Bolivia.

As soon as govt. administrators, teachers, et al. stop getting paid, all this fine, self-ennobling talk about defending the `rights’ of squatting illegal aliens will be ... uh sorry, undocumented immigrants ... defenestrated!
It will go right out the window.

Squeeze their budgets and their hearts and minds will follow.
Trump is close to showing these putas his strong pimp hand.

For example you can see that the City of San Francisco (a sanctuary city) received $465 million in 2015 and $416 million in 2016 in revenue from the federal government per page 28 of their audited financial statements.

I would need to look further to determine how much of the state revenue of $776 million was actually flow through from the feds.

Trump is carrying a BIG STICK.

“Cutting off these cities’ federal funding will help balance the budget.”

Or use it to build the wall. Wouldn’t that be ironic. The cities that refuse to stop protecting illegals will pay for the wall to keep them in Mexico.

“deport children”

If we repeal the litter laws, we’d have something for these kids to do.

I agree with you vis a vis blacks waking up but unfortunately still many are vulnerable to manipulation. I think we need to proceed carefully. Why give our enemies an argument? There are a lot of things we can do short of pulling fed dollars to address illegal immigration. I do however trust the Whitehouse and realize that it may already be part of their calculation. It may be that the only way to break the back of illegal immigration is to end sanctuary cities. If that is the case then this is the way to go. I just would rather our side always be seen as helping and reaching out to the urban areas.
