Texas Governor, Greg Abbott just called into the Steve Malzberg show to discuss sanctuary cities plaguing certain counties in his great state. He said he would sign legislation that could put Sheriffs of sanctuary cities in jail.
Here we go, folks! Don’t mess with Texas!
“ Steve Malzberg: “I know you brought up the possibility of jailing such Sheriffs recently.”
Greg Abbott: “We have. It’s a two-step process. One, as Governor I could unilaterally use my office to take funds away from Travis County that had been previously granted to them under Governor’s grants for criminal justice reasons and we have defunded them to the tune of $1.5 million.
In addition to that, we have been pushing a piece of legislation in Texas that is going to pass that I will be signing into law that imposes even sterner penalties on counties. Uh it will include things such as further defunding them and it could impose jail time for the Sheriffs to enforce the laws.
Oddly enough these Sheriffs could wind up behind the very bars they are releasing these very criminals from.”
Sheriffs go get them. About time something is working to stem the protecting of criminal illegals and returning back out to continue their criminal activities.
Yep, I like that much better. Mayors seem to be a bigger part of the problem.
Texas Governor Abbott To Sign Legislation That Can Put Sheriffs of 'Sanctuary Cities' In Jail
The Alt Right continues to get stronger.
Crushing enemies of American civilization is an Alt Right position.
Not dealing with them. Not debating them. Not reaching across the aisle. Not publishing a policy paper. And certainly not placating them and surrendering.
CRUSHING them.
Conservatives would sit on their hands and whine.
Good idea. Many of the blackrobes are as guilty as the people they judge.
Arrest the city mayors and managers that support it, too.
As imperfect as Trump is, as we have seen with the healthcare debacle, none of this would be happening had Trump not won.
You do realize that he’s just the governor, that Texas is a weak-governor state by design and that he’s *asking* the Legislature (which is in session now) to give him the power to do just that, right???
One for the Texas list.
The list I have is ancient. I thought it had died. If you like I’ll use what I have.
Long past sufficient time for legislature to pass and him to sign.
Texas Ping
Well, it seemed to work. Not sure how complete it is. But I did not get one that gave me an error message for not finding name.
Thanks for suggestion.

Has anybody been murdered by an illegal in Tarrant County?
Texas has a problem in the Legislature - his name is Joe Strauss. He’s a big roadblock.
No reason not to. Remember, the courts said that a state isn’t responsible for enforcing Federal law....
I heard Sessions on O’Reiley tonight.Total pussy. No there there. Thinks the money claw back is it while he stares criminal statutes in the face that are violated by these reprobate communist local thug officials and criminal prosecution never crossed his LIPs ?? Are you kidding me? Abbott may be our next president!! Trump is failing miserably!!
Winning !!! PING
a better idea is to pass a state law that,
the entities of Austin and Travis county no longer exist,
and that the resulting unincorporated land is
to be policed by Texas Rangers
under the personal command of the Govanator.
Wrong. She gave an oath to the Constitution. She is ignoring her oath, and therefor needs to be prosecuted.
Sessions is a weak kneed yellow bellied limp wrist loser.
He hasn’t done a single thing as AG. Not one.
