Trump to pay first presidential visit to California amid immigration 'war'
The Sacramento Bee ^ | March 7th, 2018 | By Anita Kumar, Emily Cadei And Anita Chabria

President Donald Trump will soon make his first trip to California, a state that resoundingly rejected him at polls and whose elected officials have sparred with him in an escalating verbal and legal battle over federal immigration policies.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Wednesday that Trump would make the trip to California next week. She did not provide details and the White House did not immediately answer follow-up questions.

Trump is expected to visit the San Diego area to inspect prototypes of the wall he seeks to build along the border with Mexico, according to a person familiar with the trip but not authorized to speak publicly. He is also expected to attend a Republic fundraiser in Beverly Hills, and rumors circulated that he would make an appearance in Fresno.

In late January, the White House asked Congress for $25 billion for border security, including a wall along the southwest border. It also asked for cuts in legal immigration.

In exchange, Trump would allow 1.8 million young immigrants brought to the country illegally by their parents – known as Dreamers – a chance at citizenship. Congress has so far failed to act on his proposal or any other immigration deal that would have provided significant border funding.

A California trip for Trump has long been rumored, but never materialized until now – possibly because Trump will likely be the target of protests when he does arrive. Trump lost the state to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by more than 4 million votes in 2016 and Californians have grown increasingly vocal about their opposition to his policies.

I just hope some crazy ‘Moonbeam’ idiot in Cali-Mexico doesn’t try to take Our President out while he is there helping the people who didn’t vote for Hillary or ‘Moonbeam’ idiot that lost his brains years ago, if he had any then of course...

Pray For Our President...he is going into the ‘den of idiots’...

He might as well be going to China or North Korea.

Of course we must remember to pray for his safety.

The truth is exceedingly powerful. Dear President Trump, I know you will let it resound!

We all know those 4,000,000 votes were
illegal. (or cast by illegal alien
invaders). Take California and New York
out of the popular vote equation...
Trump won by a landslide....

I wonder if Air Force One will have to stop at a border checkpoint and be searched for fruits and vegetables. Obviously, Moonbeam will tell the Union flunkies manning the booths not to believe President Trump when he says no.

I lost a few friend during the Obama vs Arizona fiasco. The left was in a frenzy protecting Obama’s FEDERAL RIGHT. We all remember that. So now the sides have changed but the issue remains. It’s pure insanity and liberals are retarded.

It’s a distraction from his failure to pursue the Clinton dossier matter.

I’ll bet that Moonbeam will try to arrest him using the CA national guard.

Now that would be a Sumter moment for sure.

Then you are advocating the murder of founder/owner/operator of Free Republic who lives in Fresno, CA. You’re so dense, you don’t bother to read the address at the bottom of the page.
