Trump to California: I’ll Pull ICE Officers Out if You Keep Harboring Illegals
Western Journalism ^ | February 23, 2018 | Erin Coates

President Donald Trump is considering pulling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of California for protecting illegal immigrants.

“Frankly it’s a disgrace, the sanctuary city situation,” Trump said at a White House meeting Thursday, according to The Hill.

The president said that California has refused to cooperate with federal law enforcement since it declared itself a “sanctuary” jurisdiction.

Trump added that if the federal agencies left the state, “you would have a crime mess like you’ve never seen in California.”

“If we ever pulled our ICE out, if we ever said, ‘hey, let California alone, let them figure it out for themselves,’ in two months they’d be begging for us to come back, they would be begging,” Trump said. “And you know what, I’m thinking about doing it.”

Pull federal dollars to local law enforcement to really get their attention. Every other federal dollar too.

I think the out of control men-in-black have already blocked that option

Violators of valid, constitutional law should be INDICTED and TRIED.

I like your way of thinking. That would certainly get their attention. I see no reason the state should get all the benefits without taking a share of the responsibility.

Knowing the state from an earlier life, there might be a use for those officers.

The CA-OR border has ten road crossings.
N CA to Tahoe —ten.
Tahoe to/including I15 —sixteen.
Down to/including I40 —seven.
Down to/including I10 —ten.
From there to the Mexican border —two.

Total 55 road crossings. Most traffic on is on 5 Interstates. The 4 Arizona crossings already have large facilities for inspection that could be ‘loaned’.

This border is blessed by the Sierras and the Colorado River. In winter cold mostly. In summer blazing mostly. Little population in most places.

So, how many officers available? Maybe grab others, like FBI, US Marshal’s Service, and plenty others. Just a thought...

After that incident in San Francisco involving several ICE agents being surrounded by a bunch of illegal mexicans at a jail, I would say yes, pull all of the ICE agents out.

Put armed National Guard troops all along the california-mexico border. Station US Marshals along with National Guard troops with INS in every major city in california, in every courthouse, jail, and city hall.

Arrest every single illegal who walks out of those places, and arrest every single LEO, judge, and public official in those buildings right afterwards.

Go from business to business looking for illegals. If found, arrest the illegals AND the owners of the business.

California has been giving the other 49 states the middle finger. The california government is bought and paid for by mexico city.

Either the US takes california back from mexico and kicks out the occupiers, or this will lead to the next mexican-american war.

Correct.

Sorry, Mr. President, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion...”

I’d count 30M+ as an INVASION.

Start @ govt level, then to biz and then round up the stragglers whom remain.

Time to do the JOB you requested and were hired to do.

Pulling ICE from California is NOT the answer, Pres. Trump.

Fire your lamearse AG Sessions and get replace him with a headhunter that has ballz and then go full tilt on sanctuary California, among other proclaimed ‘sanctuary’ outlets. Resolving the issue of ‘sanctuary’ is what is needed!

He will now need to build a wall along the California border with the (remaining) United States.

Actually, he would close the border because the Government employees are with drawn. The massive inflow will destroy California

Our side just doesn’t have the guts to ENFORCE THE LAW. It’s amazing. Arrest the Governor. Prosecute him. Toss him into prision.

Pure genius. He knows by doing that, all of the illegals throughout all the other states would make a bee-line for California, causing the whole system to crash by a violent overthrow of the libtards.

apparently it is ok to threaten, kidnap (illegally detain) ICE agents. They are restrained form using weapons to provide for their own defense.

I hadn’t thought of that. California might notice. And, the illegals would all be in one place if he decided to ratchet things up again.

The better response would be, “If California won’t participate in the immigration system, including enforcement - then the fed govt can no longer safely send foreigners there”. No more student visas, no more high-tech worker visas, no more business visas for potential investors, no more ag worker visas, etc. And finally, no more tourist visas or approved visa-waiver admissions.

Absolutely brilliant.

I would love to see Gov Browneye in the slammer, bunking down with some giant "Bubba".
