Oh, I get it. It’s TRUMP’S fault that the Philly is being punished because the city’s leadership chooses to violate the law, knowing that there are penalties for doing so.
...
It’s not against the law, but it’s shady and something most people are against. Trump will win this one.
Lol. Liberal math and logic.
Doncha love it.
Looks like that’s almost a quarter of their budget:

The fact that 20-25% of their budget is from grants is the real crime.
Its called nullification. Many Freepers support the doctrine.
They can always raise the soda tax... yeah, that’s the ticket!
Votes. Plain and simple.
Losing nearly a BILLION because citizens rate second to illegals in Philly government.
Good research. That is shocking considering that illegals are such “wealth creators”. You would think Philly would be giving money back to the feds. /S
I think that the Federal government created incentives to be sanctuary cities.
They are willing to risk millions of dollars in loss of funding to be sanctuary cities, because they aren’t willing to give up millions of dollars by ceasing to be one.
They are between a rock and a hard place. And they are in denial about which is worse.
I bet they weren't doing any "sanctuary" stuff.
Yeah, Philly would rather aid, harbor, and traffic illegals than get fed dollars and abide by the law.
Take away their dollars, arrest their officials and employers, fine their constituents, and deport their illegals.
That is one billion dollars less for democrats. Winning
There is a chess move called a Fork. What a fork does is attack two or more of your opponent's pieces at a time, leaving the opponent with a choice if which piece they will lose. President Trump is forcing Philly to choose to pay for illegals, or citizens, including black citizens, both part of the democrat coalition.
Votes for Democrats.
What is "so-called" about calling sanctuary cities, sanctuary cities? There is nothing "so-called" about them. They are sanctuary cities. Moron.
>The city received more than $340 million in federal grants in fiscal year 2015, much of it targeted by the Trump administration under an executive order to pull funding from so-called sanctuary cities. Up to $638 million more in state funding could dry up if a Senate bill also tied to Philadelphia’s policies regarding federal immigration officers becomes law.
This is the major reason why I’m not worried about sanctuary cities and states. The government employees unions control most blue states won’t take a pay cut for illegals. Trump has them by the nads.
Raise the tax on fried chicken to pay for services to illegals
How’s that sugar tax for beverages working? Thought it would balance the budget?
Are you accusing them of being santuarimonious?
