Just do it!
Some federal 0bama/Clinton appointee judge will make the g’ment pay regardless; it’s all about human rights and suffering and stuff.
Great news! A voice of sanity, in an insane world.
Expect liberal judges (e.g., judges who have no respect for the law) to immediately file injunctions forcing payment.
Wanna bet?
WOW!!! You mean to tell me that Sessions is FINALLY gonna do something? I’m shocked, SHOCKED, I tell ya
Then do it. I haven’t heard a peep directly from Sessions in weeks.
He said “claw back” of existing grants was possible.
Good, it’s a start.
He said he’s carrying out a policy laid out by the Obama administration last year, which identified three grant programs — the COPS grants, Byrne grants and State Criminal Alien Assistance Program money — that already require sanctuary certification.
The Obama administration didn’t end up enforcing that policy, but Mr. Sessions said he’ll begin.
IMHO, Sessions should make his primary focus on bringing heads of Obama’s machine and complacent GOP-e to justice.
Nothing is going to change until someone is fearful of doing prison time.
Right now, no one is afraid of DOJ other than illegals.
About time. Hit these Progressive insurgents where they live. If they are going to welcome in criminals, they get treated as accessories to the crime.
Some judge will rule that it’s unconditional and the cities should get double the amount.
The Evil hisses from the press were very telling- they can’t stand Jeff Sessions- and sure as heck hated this announcement by him- The evil in the room was thick
Sessions seems like the first cabinet pick that actually came out from the back room and stood for something that Trump ran on.
I don’t want to hear Mattis trying to hire another Muslim brotherhood plant.
I want to hear the EPA issue a blanket waiver for the wall building on all environmental impact report requirements.
Furthermore, arrest the mayors and governors harboring illegal aliens. It's your job!
Quite frankly, I think Sessions is just another empty-suit politician collecting a paycheck.
LONG past time!!! Good going A.G. Sessions!!!
AG Sessions, that is not your job. You should concentrate on prosecuting the criminals. Specifically identify those that are deliberately and proudly bragging about harboring illegal aliens. Throw the SOB in jail. It is the fair way to deal with the problem rather than the broad brush approach you suggest, which is a financial funding issue and outside your bailiwick.
... how about the Trump Admin working with Congress to produce an aggressive law assigning federal civil liability to state and local lawmakers whose illegal sanctuaries protect, foment and abet crimes such as rape and murder and etc committed by illegal aliens?
Objective?
Make it so crime victims and their families can sue the britches off those politicians who enable crime via conspiring to protect and abet criminal aliens and thus encouraging further crimes.
It’s their choice: carrot or stick. Comply with the law or no carrot. If that doesn’t work, to the stick.
There is no rebuttal or riposte to our position: follow the law. The only response available to them is pathos and it is ... pathetic.
Announce that the fed dollars meant for Chicago, Seattle, New York and San Francisco will be diverted to pay for the wall.
Do it now!
