One of the hallmarks of President-elect Donald Trumps campaign was his pledge to crack down on illegal immigration, most notably through construction of a more secure border wall and through the deportation of illegals who have committed further criminal acts while in the country.
However, a number of Democrat-dominated urban centers across the land have in turn pledged to resist Trumps efforts by doubling down on their self-proclaimed status as sanctuary cities that wont cooperate with federal officials in the enforcement of immigration laws.
While there have been numerous sanctuary cities, counties and states for several years under the non-leadership of President Barack Obama, there are seven cities that have distinctly reiterated their non-cooperative stance following Trumps election.
Those cities are: Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.
The purported leaders of these cities, both political and in law enforcement, have vowed to oppose the incoming Trump administrations efforts at upholding federal laws, in effect choosing to protect criminal illegal immigrants over their own citizens and the rest of the country.
A Trump administration could attempt to bring these cities in line with federal law through the court system, but that could prove expensive and time-consuming.
However, there is perhaps a better, more cost-efficient manner by which these cities could be compelled to cooperate with federal agencies, and that is through the withholding of federal funds to those particular jurisdictions.

Brings new meaning to 'Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses etc etc, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, .'
When the 'other underclass' starts to feel the pinch and they rebel against the city AND the interlopers, the only place for them is the suburbs etc etc and that brings to mind.
NIMBY....NOT IN MY BACK YARD.
Then it will really get interesting.

Of course you should open half way houses for criminals and drug addicts.
I believe a city of this size could handle 3 of them.
