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.”

????...Woo hoo...
The liberals have doing that to us for years!
Suddenly, they are surprised that as losers, they get nothing but a big load of painful reality!
Good. Let them liberals pay for it themselves. Well their taxpayers who I guess will rebel perhaps?
We the people will see what a real leader and President is supposed to look like. Even the non-supporters who are working class will board the “Trump Train”. More and more pressure will come to bear on the establishment members on both sides and they will get on board or be “Trumped” at the next election cycle. No more fake votes and being against before being for something. President Trump is drawing lines in the sand with American vs Globalist sides to be on. Starkly contrasted position that true Americans will support. I envision 75% approval ratings in spite of the media.
Let Soros pay these Cities
Whoa that’s a bit far. How about some reason on those who heard a change from wall and deport to wall and violent criminal deport a change in the millions. Pointing this out is not backing Trump and it’s certainly not bashing him but an obvious observation. This action is absolutely fantastic and I stand behind this patriot 100%! Awesome!
This is Step 1 of step 2 and three. Next step is wall then deportations and not a “big swinging door” we have plenty of immigrants legal or otherwise. No more legal that offer no value to society. If doctor, scientist, engineer legally coming in amen come aboard. If lawn care worker, bus boy, unemployed then stay home.
I’d fully expect us as conservatives to follow our President and back him as I do. However where he obviously veers from what elected him to fully hold him to account.
If this is so called incoming with the ever present “concern troll” to demean or silence truth then hey sign me up partner
[ Top 10 U.S. Sanctuary Cities Face Roughly $2.27 Billion In Cuts By Trump Policy ]
$2.27 Billion can buy a LOT of wall!
Yup, part of why I posted that comment.
Feel a ZOT storm coming. Have seen a few of them...
I still want PRISON for these Officials in California, we can seize their assets and put it towards the wall too.
Looks like some bond ratings are going to go down. I’m sure that the good leftist citizens in sanctuary cities won’t mind paying more in property tax.
[ 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. ]
Liberals would have you believe that the Rural areas of America take in more taxes than they give. That is a FLAT OUT LIE. Cities, especially their pet “social engineering liberal utopias” cities suck up the tax monies like a damned Hoover Vacuum.
Bwahahaaaaaaaaaa. Arrest these criminal idiot LIB pols who support illegal alien invaders. I laugh at their illegal actions in face of being arrested.
If this does not work then pull federal funding for the state unless they are actively engaged in taking steps to force their cities to comply.
Hopefully, common sense will help them to adapt to the wonderful things that are happening in America for Americans the past few days.
Then, they will join us to shred and flush down the drain what is left of the rats in media, DC and state capitols.
I can just see this all now:
All the illegals will be gone, and daddy will have to get a job, momma will have to clean her own house, drive her kids to where ever they need to be, cook her own meals, wash her clothes, wash her windows, and on weekends, daddy will have to mow their lawns and wash the car, and then spend their money on their groceries because they don’t get money from their ‘illegal’ help like they used to..
Oh my, what ARE they going to do!!!
Not to mention that USCIS is still handing out papers to DACA applicants.
This must stop immediately. Every day 140-150 new illegal aliens get work papers and permission to stay.
Just deporting the people already convicted of crimes leaves way too many illegal aliens the opportunity to harm or kill Americans.
Good to start with the criminals, but don’t stop until they are all deported.
LOL... do you live in Ward? We will soon be on our own water, septic, propane, and set up to generate our own electricity if we need to. I am a bit concerned about wifi but I’ll be okay.
Cutting the deficit already.
If they had common sense, would they be sanctuary hell holes?
