L.A. Sheriff Lobbies White House to Protect $132M from Sanctuary City Ban
Breitbart ^ | 08/06/2017 | Michelle Moones

Posted on 08/06/2017 9:04:48 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell has been lobbying the Trump administration in an attempt to keep funding that the region stands to lose over its sanctuary city policies.

McDonnell has made multiple trips to Washington, D.C. to ask the government not to withhold federal funds, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. The Sheriff complained to the outlet that loss of the federal grant funds would “would have a negative impact on public safety in L.A. County and Southern California.”

However, instead of working toward cooperation with federal immigration officials that could keep the funding intact, the Sheriff appears focused on retaining the sanctuary policies while also keeping the federal funding that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has warned could be in peril.

McDonnell has met with Sessions as well as former Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, who now serves as White House Chief of Staff. He has also reportedly spent time lobbying members of Congress in his attempts to hold on to the $132 million the county could lose over the next three years.

He’s just afraid the ILLEGAL ALIENS wont vote for him in the next election.
Just in LA County he probably gets about 2 million ILLEGAL ALIEN votes.

You mean all these young officers, many of whom just got back from Iraq and Afghanistan.....serving our nation honorably and bravely?

Shame on you... and your irresponsible hyperbole.

You smear good men.

More from you:

“Because he is a cop. They are above the law. Have a license to kill. Stay far away from any cop. They’re all liars that cover for each other, otherwise they won’t get cover when their time comes.”

Troll.

Since we are no longer a nation guided by the rule of law, the only alternative to government officials with indifference is to hit them in the wallet.

It is felony aliens, Sheriff, that have a negative impact on public safety.

These law-scoffing sanctuary communities need to feel the intense pain of withheld federal $$$.

And by the way.. why is ANY California city bitching about this new policy? Isn’t the Molden State the “seventh largest economy in the world?” Why wouldn’t the economy of their wondrous experiment in progressivism be able to easily absorb any such financial impact?

IOW, I want the money but I plan to continue to defy you and the rule of law.

As if being a sanctuary for those who flout our laws has a positive impact....
