5 minutes after Trump shuts off the EBT cards the cities will give in.

Yup.

Trump based his campaign on criminal illegals [redundant] and sanctuary cities. He can't go back.

Trump's mantra for the next year should be "Rule of Law"

That would be a real sensible way to go. First step, rescinding Obama's EOs is a no-brainer. Next step, enforce laws already on the books. Once those actions and his appointments have a positive impact, that'll be the time to deal with new legislation. It'll give DJT time to isolate the really insane libs.

Another issue is runaway judges. Nothing is for sure until DJT can begin to appoint judges who support the Constitution.

The surge is coming largely from Central American migrants, far outpacing those from Mexico. "They're mobilizing because they don't know what tomorrow will bring, but know today they can cross,” said Chris Cabrera, of the National Border Patrol Council. Many illegal immigrants from Central America indeed have been motivated to make the trek after word traveled under the Obama administration that some could request asylum, claiming a “credible fear” of persecution should they return home.

The only "Credible Fear" these Orc army Illegal Invaders have is that they taxpayer funded gray train of welfare, housing, cash benefits, free medical care, free education, and the rest will dry up once we have a real President again.

it’s called the power of the purse.
Refuse to send ONE penny of federal tax money to any and all sanctuary cities.

Mexicans are our Muslims. Anyone taken a look at what the Cartel is up to? Europe has a problem and so do we.

Sanctuary cities are all about taxpayers’ money. Federal funds to schools are per capita (for each head). The more illegals in the schools, the more money the cities get. Same for federal assistance for medical, housing, and for feeding and clothing these illegals. Federal money for illegals is a major part of sanctuary cities’ budgets. City leaders are trying to protect the influx of taxpayers’ money.

Showdown looms between Trump administration, sanctuary cities

Lets be clear. This is not just about Trump and these cities. This is the American people. You (So-called sanctuary cities) are using our tax dollars to protect criminals. We have homeless veterans and homeless children and you are providing aid to illegal immigrants? No that crap is over and done.

What Attorney General Jeff Sessions needs to do is allow lawsuits to be brought against the mayors and politicians of so-called sanctuary cities. The families of victims who were murdered by illegal Invaders should be allowed to sue these mayors and politicians of sanctuary cities. It would bring all of this to a halt pronto. Once these people are sued individually and hurt in their own pocketbooks, it would all end.

There’s a flood of Biblical proportions, coming in 2017. A flood of stories about apprehended illegals, each one a Bob Cratchit and all his Tiny Tims hobbling through the gears of the bureaucracy.

Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) says federal law prohibits local and state L/E from refusing to share immigration status information with the feds......this gives Pres Trump the power to deny federal funds to sanctuary cities such as LA, NYC and Chicago........Plus, harboring criminals is a crime....sanctuary city mayors and other govt officials should be arrested.

More egregiously.....if the source of local funds for sanctuary cities is tax-free bonding monies, govt officials can be prosecuted since investors in municipal bonding (perhaps transportation and education bonding) were not advised about the uses of public money.

The SEC and the IRS would be interested:
