Los Angeles mayor vows to fight Trump administration attempt to strip ‘sanctuary city’ funding

Los Angeles Daily News ^ | 03/28/2017 | Elizabeth Chou

[BenLurkin]

He is loyal to Mexico.

And he is disloyal to the USA.

[Cowboy Bob]

Go suck it, L.A.

[Cheerio]

Won’t be long and you will need a passport to enter and leave the once great state of Mexifornia.

[stars & stripes forever]

[Garcetti said that such actions would be unconstitutional]

LOL He’s worrying about constitutionality?

[oldbrowser]

This is weird. It's a role reversal.

The democrats are the ones fighting for decentralized government and the republicans are on the side of centralized government.

I'm not sure what to think.

[z3n]

Unconstitutional?

Like way back when the federal government threatened states to withold federal funding for civil infrustructure if they refused to set highway speed limits to 55MPH?

I feel like the precedent has long been set on this. Not that I agree with it, but yeah, you can't have it both ways.

[Steely Tom]

It was not immediately clear how much funding could be at risk if Los Angeles were deemed a sanctuary city.

A humorous way of announcing that Elizabeth Chou wasn't able to find the answer by Googling it.

What a joke the MSM is.

Garcetti said that such actions would be unconstitutional

If there is no constitutional entry which orders giving money to states in the first place, how is STOPPING giving them money unconstitutional. Any grants they get are extra-constitutional and, literally, have nothing to do with the constitution.

[LouAvul]

Unconstitutional? This piece 'o garbage is aiding and abetting enemies of the USA and he's criticizing the POTUS for criticizing him?

These liberals get dumber by the minute.

[Gaffer]

Should correct the title to say “Mexican Mayor of Los Angeles vows.....blah, blah, blah....”

There’s yer trouble right there.

[Da Coyote]

We want your money.

But not your laws.

If some self-centered low IQ liberal (but I repeat myself) judge tries the injunction trick, it is long past time for some Mexican style retribution for those judges.

After all, it IS Mexifornia.

Really, what other course is there?

[Tennessee Nana]

PING

[odawg]

Fine. Just lock his sorry ass up for violating his oath of office, Federal law, and encouraging others to violate the law. In a more sane time, this would be recognized for the anarchy it is.

[Awgie]

Is this something similar to the travel ban?

Will POTUS DJT have his defunding of so called sanctuary cities thwarted by an activist liberal judge?

[Cheerio]

DRUDGE this morning....

LA MAYOR VOWS SANCTUARY
ILLEGALS FREE TO ROAM
'GODFATHER' DEFIANT IN CHICAGO
NYC VOWS TO BLOCK ICE

And so CW2 is about to erupt in major American Urban RAT controlled areas!?!? I have been ready here in AZ for years now.....Get on with it Sessions and Trump! Clean up this mess once and for all.

We are either a sovereign nation with borders, culture, and language, or we are just part of Mexico. MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

[VRWCarea51]

You take the Kings Gold, You do the Kings Bidding.

Pretty simple.

BTW It was Fedzilla under Obama that took Arizona to court claiming they were the sole Enforcer of Immigration. Courts agreed.

So Suck it, Liberals. You want to house, feed, educate the freeloading Criminal Invaders? Pay for it with your OWN money.

[Nailbiter]

you can’t have it both ways.

If you are democrat you can have it any way you want- well used to be true until Trump came along

[TTFlyer]

LA already is Mexico City Del Norte.

[squidward]

“Slashing funds for first-responders, for our port and airport, for counterterrorism, crime-fighting”

Wait....is this asshole saying that if the Feds make them remove criminals from the city it is somehow going to make the city more dangerous?
