U.S. President Donald Trump’s attempt to strip municipalities of federal dollars for shielding illegal immigrants threatens $2.27 billion in annual funds for the nation’s ten largest cities, a Reuters analysis of federal grants found.
Trump plans to make good on his campaign pledge to block federal funding to states and cities where local law enforcement refuse to report undocumented immigrants they encounter to federal authorities, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said.
“The American people are no longer going to have to be forced to subsidize this disregard for our laws,” Spicer said.
Spicer said an executive order signed by Trump on Wednesday directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to look at federal funding to cities to figure out “how we can defund those streams.”

Just watch these cities crash & burn, without Fed money to burn, instead.
They ‘face’ obeying the law.
Crime doesn’t pay!
This savings and no money to the palies, is a good start to paying for the wall.
Trump is coming in hot! love it..have to show them who’s boss right away & that he means business.
The left & media are used to RINO’s all talk, no action. Not anymore!
Woot!
But Trump is a wimp on the illegal immigration issue. /concern trolls
““The American people are no longer going to have to be forced to subsidize this disregard for our laws,” Spicer said.
Elections have consequences for the losers and rewards for the winners.
They’ll be fine. They just need to tax their wealthy residents more.
Wow lol, imagine if that’s what he uses for the Wall. That said, it’s gotta be higher, cuz Michael Savage just said SF alone gets 1 billion.
HAHAHAHAHAHA exactly!!!
That’s a lot of one way tickets home..
I trust that that’s 2.7 billion...EACH!
Why do cities get so much? I have to drive 5 miles to get my mail. I have to fix my own road. I do not have sewer, gas, water services... The interstate roads and rural roads are substandard. Over 100,000 bridges need repaired/replaced. Governor Chickenpooper says we are backward and takes the budget for bike paths, parks, open space and says we still are not paying enough taxes.
Trump is doing all the work. What about the separation of powers?
don't get me wrong, I love what Mr. Trump is doing. Just wondering about the SWAMP.
Politics is rewarding one's friends and punishing one's enemies.
Meanwhile, Jerry Brown is talking like Hitler in his bunker in April 1945. I read Brown’s State of the State address yesterday. Brown and the Democrats are delusional. They are starting out the budget process with a two billion dollar hole in it. That hole is about to get a lot bigger and Jerry Brown is saying “bring it on!”
“But Trump is a wimp on the illegal immigration issue. /concern trolls.”
Any idiot posting those concerns deserves a full zotting by
the mods and Jim!
We has a couple of attempts yesterday along that line. They back away after some fierce incoming from the rest of us.
Woo hop!
Trump will find a way to bill Mexico for those tickets and the wall.
