Will your mayor also say how he is going to replace the Federal Grants your City/State will not get?
Will your mayor explain about the "claw back" of previous funds that the Federal Government might want.

It's a LOT of Millions of Dollars - is the Mayor going to explain to the Citizen that THEY are now on the hook for that Money?

Mr Garcetti NEEDS to be real careful if he want's to stay mayor or even out of jail. The people have spoken and, we're pissed.

Does the mainstream media spin on the "anti-immigrant rhetoric" only apply to white, European immigrants?
It's def time to slow down even legal immigration; if a bunch of foreign "white" people are mad, I DON'T care. BTW: I'm "white". lol

Kinda like Jewish Israel how it deal with most Muslims? BTW: many Muslims were also "nazis" during WW 2.

Too bad Trump steaks are not available anymore .

Would be a good day to enjoy a Trump steak with a nice bottle of wine from the Trump winery!

The press conference will absolutely nothing to do with citizens of Los Angeles and immigrants here legally. He has proven he is working harder for the illegals then the people who actually voted him in.

Yes and I hope he continues to exercise his right to "speak out and act up " as he says .
The more he speaks out to protect illegals I think the more Angelenos will question his priorities .

In the Los Angeles forum for a long time I've been mentioned how awful Garcetti is . Many didn't want to hear it , but I noticed now more people have come around .

Part of that article states:

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he was waiting to read Trump’s order. But the mayor was not ready to flinch.

“I want to be clear,” Emanuel said. “We’re going to stay a sanctuary city.”

The mayor, however, did not respond to questions from reporters about how Chicago would manage to weather a slashing of federal funding.


So this mayor is going to continue to harbor illegal aliens, disregard laws, and think they will be just fine when Trump pulls the plug on federal funding. To me this means he is supporting his illegal aliens more than his citizens, who are doing the paying of taxes to support his programs that support illegals.

What are these guys smoking??

Chicago is so broke they can't even pay their teachers and have the highest sales tax rate. If fed funds are withheld and they want to increase taxes to make up for it the voters will vote out the liberal morons
