U.S. Commander n’ Thief moves to defund sanctuary cities
Threatening to strip cities of federal funds because oogabooga foreigners is yet another way in which Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are interchangeable.
More than 400 jurisdictions across the country, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Seattle – major cities in left-leaning states that did not vote for Mr Trump – have enacted policies protecting undocumented immigrants within their boundaries. Officials in these designated areas, including local law enforcement, are not allowed to enquire as to an individual’s immigration status in the course of their duties.
Candidate Trump pledged to end this practice, and on Wednesday he put some teeth into his promise – authorising the federal government to withhold funds from cities that do not co-operate with immigration officials or comply with federal law.
His executive order frames the issue as one of national security.
“Sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States wilfully violate Federal law in an attempt to shield aliens from removal from the United States,” it reads. “These jurisdictions have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our republic.”
I’m sure that if pressed for proof he’d sputter half a quote from some white supremacist garbage from Breitbart BlightFart before going back to moaning about attendance at his inauguration.
I don’t know what other cities will do, but I hope NYC ups the bill for providing security to him and the first family by whatever amount he’s threatening to take away.
And if I haven’t said it before, I say it here: Anyone who voted for this piece of shit is also a piece of shit.
