Omnibus Bill Blocks Penalties for Illegal-Immigrant ‘Sanctuary Cities’
BREITBART ^ | 20 Mar 2018 | Neil Munro

Posted on 03/21/2018 7:41:43 AM PDT by Cheerio

The draft 2018 omnibus bill denies President Donald Trump explicit authority to withhold federal grants from the Democratic-dominated “sanctuary cities” which are trying to secede from the nation’s immigration laws, say Hill sources.

There is “nothing in the omnibus bill to stop funding for the sanctuary cities,” said a source. “It will just be a continuation of the status quo” because Democrats threatened to torpedo the funding bill if it included new rules allowing administration officials to block federal funding to the cities which shield illegals from deportation, the source said.

The GOP is as much the enemy as the Dems. They are united in their opposition to American citizens.

These douches better have these “Dreamers” (*snort*) put up in their homes with their children or they’re racist.

This tells US everything we need to know about whose side the GOP is on, it is not the side of the citizens and the rule of law.

I think we have discovered why illegal immigration continues to this day: bi-partisan (i.e. uniparty) support.

So, no wall funding; no unfunding of sanctuary cities. Guess they might as well write in full amnesty, citizenship, and benefits for all illegal aliens and anyone else that wants to invade. /s

Yes, for decades our “Republican” officeholders have failed, failed, failed, and they will mostly with glee continue to fail.

Do you remember back when we used to actually pass a budget instead of monthly deals? Me neither.

The GOP is a WORSE enemy. During campaign season, they say every word we want to hear. Then they get to DC and their deep-pocket, globalist, cheap labor owners tell them how they'll vote. Funding Sanctuary Cities is particularly outrageous. Across the political spectrum, US citizens in the real world get it that cheap foreign labor is what's undermining their wages, both abroad and in the US. We real folk also know that people who are in the US illegally are a real problem for those of us who don't live behind a wall.

I think that the GOP and Paul Ryan will be very happy to lose the House this Fall and can then throw in with the Rats to impeach President Trump for being pro American.

Have federal martials arrest the politicians who vote for sanctuary cities. And arrest cops who don’t report illegals to ICE. Sig Heil!
