Keep telling yourself Gump's dopey press conferences have any meaning. They're mostly show at this point.

I heard he built The Wall today too and Pena Neito is arriving on the 31st to cut him a check for the costs. Gump is a miracle worker.

You must be happy Pasadena is a sanctuary city too and that they will protect "immigrants" (aka illegals)

You are cool with Pasadena losing federal funding over illegals?

Pasadena, already a ‘sanctuary city,’ might increase protections for immigrants during Trump administration

Article from L.A Times tonight :

Touting a federal grant for local students, L.A. mayor again vows to protect immigrant families.

Funny L.A times keeps using the term "immigrant" to describe illegals..

When you look at the comments all their readers know they mean illegals.

"I'm poor, can I get Garcetti to pay for my kid's two years of college....oh yeah, I'm not illegal."

As a matter of fact I am.

Overall, as human beings:

Undocumented immigrants >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gump supporters.

If it were up to me (and the majority of Americans), most would be on a path to citizenship right now. Unfortunately, evil prevailed on November 8th so they'll have to wait. I guess Gump could theoretically deport them all before his wretched presidency ends, but that's not likely. I don't see the +200 sanctuary cities budging on this issue, and any attempt at withholding federal funds will be fought vigorously in the courts, so he's on his own.

Can we take Pasadena's federal funds since they don't need them?

Wrong.

Quote:
Impoundment is an act by a President of the United States of not spending money that has been appropriated by the U.S. Congress. Thomas Jefferson was the first president to exercise the power of impoundment in 1801. The power was available to all presidents up to and including Richard Nixon, and was regarded as a power inherent to the office. The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 was passed in response to perceived abuse of the power under President Nixon. Title X of the act, and its interpretation under Train v. City of New York, essentially removed the power. The president's ability to indefinitely reject congressionally approved spending was thus removed.[1]

The politicians will budge once the voters realize they are fighting for illegals over funding for legal citizens.
I bet a lot of people might not even realize they currently live in a sanctuary city or what it means.

Oh also when the weekly list of crimes committed by illegals is released ...I don't think the illegals will gain much public support from that.
I'm sure you'll be rooting on the criminal illegals though and hoping they move right next door to you in Pasadena right?..


"President Trump in the executive orders he signed Tuesday called on the Department of Homeland Security to publish a list each week of the crimes committed by undocumented immigrants."

I'm black and hate to say this but trump will get things done. He is threatening to send the feds into chi-town which is more than Obama did. I mean he lives there and didn't do $hit. With the exception of illegals, minorities will get better treatment in this country merely by the trickle down effect. I have no idea why they are protesting TBH, he is the president get over it. Legitimate voting or not, in the first week he did what he said he would.

I can't guarantee everything he does will be successful but can't say he lied about doing it. NAFTA and illegals, that needs to happen. He wants to improve america, and doesn't care about abroad issues. Obama literally wanted the world to be a better place while the citizens of this country ate water and crackers. I don't give two $hits about international relations. America is hated but inhabited by those who have extreme dislike for Americans. No more minority presidents, I have my reason for feeling this way. Nothing against Obama but he didn't do anything that makes me say damn. First term was historic and was great, should of never got a second term. TRUMP WILL DO MORE FOR MINORITIES SPECIFICALLY BLACK THAN OBAMA DID. just being honest.
