I live in Washington state. California, Oregon and Washington are all sanctuary states. I hope they don’t get a dime from the federal government.

“western states pact”

US Constitution, Article 1 Section 10:
“No state shall, without the consent of Congress, ...enter into any agreement or compact with another state...”

Blue state blues. They brought it upon themselves by making the citizens suffer for their stupidity.
