“Romney touts his plan to slash funding for cities that declare themselves immigration sanctuaries.”
Like Cambridge, Somerville, and Orleans in Massachusetts?
Mitt did nothing to cut state aid or services to these towns. These three are “declared” sanctuaries, but Worcester, Chelsea, and a couple others have similar policies.
So he allowed sanctuary cities in Massachusetts but will be tough on them at the Federal level.
Hopefully he and others have seen the light and will oppose sanctuary cities. It makes no sense to me except sanctuary cities are meant to make it easy for criminals.
I am not a big defender of Mitt but to be fair does the Governor of Mass have the authority to intervene.
I remember reading somewhere (or worse someone telling me!) that in the Mass state government the legislature had the lion’s share of the power. Anyone know if this is true?
