Brown people , lol ok ... little do you know ..pretty ignorant comment.
You obviously still don't get it .

Hmm so De Leon is saying illegals are honest ? How honest is it to sneak into another country and break their laws ?

This is the same old argument the Pro illegal crowd makes . The guilt trip and play to emotions .
It's run it's course and we are tired of it .
They are too good to live wherever they came from ? Why ?
Truth is they want what we have to offer but didn't want to wait in line .

Garcetti ,Brown and this clown De Leon can say what they want but they have no control over federal immigration laws .

This will almost certainly be challenged by the states, and by the time they win, Gump will be long gone.
It is apparently a little more complicated than you are making it out to be; some funds cad see. Regardless he isn't sitting on his duff doing nothing.

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.
True statement

It sure didn't take long for a federal mandate to be issued in the 1970's that states who didn't lower their speed limits would lose federal highway funding !

Sure, let them take away federal funding - as long as California gets to keep its own federal tax dollars here in state. We know that will never happen (CA keeping its tax dollars). Hmm, secession is looking like a better option every day.

Maybe CA should become part of Mexico again . Seems like that's the goal of some .

Make California Mexico Again .

Considering what the U.S. is becoming, I'm beginning to think that California being annexed by Mexico wouldn't be so bad. (And yes, I'm joking - for now.)

Agreed. But one area of LA that will still get even more federal funding is the MTA. Trump's one trillion dollar infrastructure plan is already advancing, and he has already listed his priorities.

All Trump is doing is enforcing existing federal law. You have to obey the law or there are consequences. Imagine if everyone ignored our laws.
