Trump should target Los Angeles first for “Sanctuary City” fight

Trump will have broad presidential powers in dealing with “sanctuary cities”.

I would like to propose he start with Los Angeles.

To begin with, the area is filled with smug, anti-Trump elites like Meryl Streep.

However, beyond that...the city is short millions ... and will have to borrow $70 million to meet expenses.

Trump should unleash the full force of federal fury on this city, which is clearly in no fiscal condition for the upcoming battle.

Well said. And don’t forget: President George W. Bush REFUSED to enforce U.S. immigration laws in violation of his responsibility and oath of office to do so. It was the realization of this that turned me against the Bushes.

The nation has had quite enough of the Bushes. Their influence has been mostly bad for the nation, especially Bush Sr.

I got blasted by many a Freeper for calling it an act of Treason.

But, time won out. The epidemic has become a full-blown invasion.

The result will be do it yourself or hire Americans.

I never understood how someone could trust their kids to someone who had recently sneaked in from South America.

What you do is take the “biggest gorilla” head on, and destroy them. The rest will then run for cover, as best they can in this scenario. :-)

If LA loses 6-800,000,000 it will create a ripple effect through the state. Since the election, LA has voted to provide attorneys for illegals at taxpayer expense and now they have set up ab office to help illegals get “full services, they are entitled to.”

The mayor od LA is a snowflake and the council receives pots of money to use in their districts at their discretion. All this while the city is underwater with deficits.

That is a good idea.

Disgusting. An Augean Stable.

“And CA itself isn’t that fiscally sound so ....”

It’s also saturated with “Immigrant Rights” outfits, and has the added benefit of the Ninth Circuit. Loss of fed dollars is a given, beyond that trying to strong arm locals is a waste.

Immigration is a Fed matter, there is zero question. Best course is to open more Border Patrol offices in Sanctuary Cities. Higher visibility and stepped up patrols will apply pressure toward self deportation.

“President George W. Bush REFUSED to enforce U.S. immigration laws”
It was worse than that. We dodged a bullet from Dubya and the other amnesty-loving #nevertrumpers ten years ago, as well as 11/8/2016.

https://theflyingcameldotorg.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/trump-is-right-criminal-aliens-are-protected-species/

“The push for amnesty didn’t start with Obama or this congress. George W. Bush was a shameless supporter of amnesty for illegal aliens, defiantly boasting at a news conference in Sofia, Bulgaria in June 2007, “I’ll see you at the signing [of my immigration bill.]” (Bush: Immigration Bill Only Temporarily Derailed; 6/11/07; associated press)

I saw him say that, went to the wall and took down his framed photo. Ten years later it still lies face down on top of bookshelves with the dust bunnies.

I am so looking forward to Trumps war on sanctuary cities.

I am in the belly of the beast here in Southern California. LA is an absolute toilet (except for the few upscale areas where the entertainment industry elites live). There is trash and filth everywhere. Illegals own the place. It will be interesting to see what will happen when Trumps pulls the money train from these places.

When I came to the realization about the Bushes and said so here, many a Freeper blasted me. Today, no one has come forward to defend the Bushes. For FR to become anti-Bush—or even not pro-Bush—is a serious change in the opinions of Americans.

Obama’s comments: If you live here you are a citizen and you can vote and immigration will not find out.

He said this on a taped message, it was shown on Fox News. I only saw this clip one time, I wish that Fox News had played this over and over again on a loop.

Yes Obama lied telling illegal aliens that they were citizens, had the right to vote and the immigration bureau will not know about it. He actually said this!

Same here. The Bushes have been globalists for a very long time.
