In an on-air interview with KVI-AM’s morning host John Carlson in Seattle on Wednesday, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump blasted the idea of so-called “sanctuary cities,” and said that as president, he would withhold funding from those cities.
He called such cities “a haven for criminals.”
“We have to have law and order in our country,” Trump said. “We have no law and order. When you look at the people who are pouring in and the borders are so porous.
“I want people to come into the country a hundred percent,” he explained, “but they have to come in legally. They have to come in through a process, and what’s happening now is out of control. It’s totally out of control.”
During the 20-minute-plus conversation, Trump and Carlson covered many subjects including minimum wage, trade and airport security. The interview came more than a week after Trump held two rallies in the Evergreen State and on the morning after he was interviewed by Fox News’s Megyn Kelly, with whom he had a high-profile feud, which may have been put to rest during her special. He promised Carlson that he would not surrender the state but would fight for its votes as the election approaches.
This might go against prevailing conventional wisdom because Washington is considered a “blue” state likely to be carried by whoever the Democrat nominee is. Right now, it appears that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be that person, although Sen. Bernie Sanders trounced her in the March Democratic caucuses and beat her in Oregon’s primary.
Withholding federal funds from Seattle and other “sanctuary cities” will not go over well with the liberal administrations in those Democrat strongholds. Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles are all “sanctuary cities,” and they are dominated by Democrats. Seattle even has a socialist member of the city council.
“We don’t need sanctuary cities,” Trump observed. “We need strong borders.”
By now, I have to assume Trump or his team is reading FR on a daily basis.
Trump is clearly a liberal... /s
PERFECT
More dangerous AND less Federal money for protection/police services. Maybe that’ll get some people to rethink “sanctuary” cities.
Navy Patriot says: Trump is right again, ‘sanctuary cities’ should lose funding, every last cent of it.
Sounds that way, don't it?
any politician that is not keeping track of what’s said here is risking becoming irrelevant,
Keep this up and he’s gonna run away with this.
He’s obviously trying to actually win, unlike McCain and Romney who deliberately went out of their way to lose.
It’s about time someone speaks out against “sanctuary cities.” Aren’t they defying federal law, which I guess is OK, unless it involves not recognizing homosexual marriage or pervert bathrooms. If you do either, the full weight of the US DoJ will come down on you like a ton of bricks.
I totally agree with President Trump!!!
HOORAY Trump
DEFUND invasion centers. DEFUND it all. DEFUND socialist collectives foreign and domestic.
Make America solvent, sovereign, great again.

C’mon November
It’s easy to…
live - free - republic
Ballot box BUMP!
SAN FRANCISCO..!!
PooPoo town.
They would have to lose funding as a necessary part of Trump’s proposals anyway.
Agree 100%. Any city or state that wants to ignore our laws will have to pay a steep price as long as those laws are just and withholding federal funds from a criminal sanctuary is very just.
It should already be happening but since we have a criminal in the WH...
One step further, prosecute Mayors and City Councilmen who condoned such illegal policies.
“We don’t need sanctuary cities,” Trump observed. “We need strong borders.”
Stuff like this that is common sense for most Americans is driving Uniparty crazy. Eff `em.
“One step further, prosecute Mayors and City Councilmen who condoned such illegal policies.”
ABSOLUTELY
One step further, put the current gang of 535 and some former gang members in federal prison.
6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands…

Nevada is a sanctuary state, and Las Vegas is educating 100,000 illegal aliens at a cost of 1.2 billion a year.
the wall may be bluster and hopefully will be built but this is the kind of policy that’s even more important..cut off the money to these criminal politicians
