With secession threats looming, the state of California is reportedly studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities.
With California counties among the Top 10 who stand to lose tax-payer funding for providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants...
KPIX5 reports that officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that dont cooperate with federal agents requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.
The federal funds pay for a variety of state and local programs from law enforcement to homeless shelters.

“But youre all in for ILLEGAL ALIENS, then.”
No I’m not.
Are you even reading my posts?
The real reason they oppose Trump I think is that they are afraid that he will figure out that they are fixing the elections in California.
“And the rest of us will be there to support you.”
You got it backwards, good buddy. I, we, us are supporting you, the California patriots. Semper fi!
“Dude sorry I stand corrected I live here too. I am hoping they try though. This could blow up in the face of lots of Cali Pols.”
No problem! Thanks for the note! I hate what California has become insofar as it’s government is concerned. I don’t know if you are aware of it or not, but the way the government applies the census data makes a bad situation worse. They count everybody, including the illegals and they don’t make any distinction about citizenship, only the count. And when they “reapportion” the state, instead of apportioning on “legal citizens” only. they just use the raw numbers which means that the heavily illegal areas get more Reps than they are entitled to. So $hit holes like all of SoCal and the Bay Area get disproportionately more reps. We live in CoCo County. I’ve been here since I was 12. While we’re a whole lot better than the rest of the Bay Area, the $hit has moved in here too. Keep fighting the good fight, California is worth saving. Maybe Trump can be enough of a success to turn things around here too.
Tired&Retired&stupid?
Transaction between employees and the Federal Government are direct, both contributions and benefits. The State plays no role whatsoever.
Are you suggesting that Governor Moonbeam will punish Social Security beneficiaries in California by literally intercepting their checks going through the U.S. Mail? or through electronic transfer?
Have masked men on horses intercept the mail train?
Yeah.
That'll work!!
I’d like to see something on the ballot in California, that would remove every state official.
Then we could start over.
I’d also like to see a ballot that would incarcerate for life anyone who pushed off secession on the citizens of the state.
When it doesn’t pass, they go to prison for life.
Let’s all play games.
Excellent. And remember that the rest of us in the fly over states will be thinking of you and praying for you.
I am hoping that nothing will come of this. It is all bluster right now. However, one thing that I have learned is that so called “peaceful” Leftists can be violent and unruly when they want. Oh, they put on a good show.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they push this as far as they can and beyond.
Good luck and may God bless.
As long as Sessions doesn’t interfere with Jefferson’s agricultural interests.
All these commies want to secede from the Union, fine. Just leave the eastern part from the crest of the Sierra Nevada and other areas and we’ll take it and call it Free California. The Conservatives have moved to these areas already like me and my family.
Perhaps YOU should try reading the articles and NOT deviate from the subject, in your replies; didums.
Post re-construction (civil war) LAW gives the president the authority to federalize a states national guard. This gets around the Posse Comitatus in the Constitution.
The federalized national guard can be ordered to arrest the governor, every legislator, every justice all the way down the chain to the janitors. Any federalized national guard that refuses is charged under the UCMJ and would probably go to federal prison for 20 years if lucky.
Send in the military. Take out the snowflakes. End of story.
Or am I getting ahead of myself here...
“Yes, I have read your posts. “
Yet somehow you’ve cleverly deduced that I’m a NeverTrumper who loves illegal immigration. Maybe you need a remedial reading course, or two.
“Perhaps YOU should try reading the articles and NOT deviate from the subject, in your replies; didums.”
Perhaps YOU should remember what FreeRepublic’s standing principles are (btw JimRob agrees with me on the withholding fedgov taxes) before mindlessly mouthing off, genius.
That'd be news to him, I wage!
Look at the title of this thread.
Read the article.
Then show me EXACTLY where it is about NEVER paying Fed Taxes ( which is illegal and impossible to do, for the vast majority of working stiffs )for ANY reason, other than to 1) protect the damned illegal aliens 2) spit in President Trump's eye.
Taxes for both people and companies are first held in a bank which is then sent to both state and fed govts. Payments from these can be stopped locally as these are digital transfers of currency.
I know you will! Wisconsin has gains A LOT of ground in the past decade. We flipped Her to RED this time around. :)
That is very accurate. Local experience is playing out this way right on schedule.
So my check is a "digital payment" ?
And what about withholdings, that get sent to the government weekly or bi-weekly, or monthly?
And what about companies and the self employed, who must pay QUARTERLY?
And since banks loses are covered by the Fed Gov, then they MUST comply with federal laws.
Wanna try again? LOL
Ok proof you can’t read:
I say: “(btw JimRob agrees with me on the withholding fedgov taxes)”
You reply with: “Does he now...with regard to PROTECTING illegal aliens? “
Lol. Somewhere, somehow, you believe that I stated support for PROTECTING illegal aliens.
Go back and reread all my posts and you’ll find no such support. Anywhere.
You’re a very confused person.
Then You say:
“Look at the title of this thread. “
Ok: “California Threatens To Cut Off Funds To Washington”
I say: “I’m with Cali on that”. (JimRob is on this thread supporting that as well)
You say: “Then show me EXACTLY where it is about NEVER paying Fed Taxes”
Methinks you don’t read, write, nor comprehend so well.
And IF JR is all in for this, re California, he's wrong and yes, he can be and has been wrong about some things in the past.
