That's probably exactly what Steve Bannon is whispering in Trump's ear every night before Trump heads upstairs at 6:30 to put on his jammies and try and find someone who will eat dinner with him.

"Pull their funding. Pull their funding. Cause chaos in the streets. Pull their funding. You are getting sleepy. Pull their funding. You have bigger hands than Jerry Brown. "

LOL... Ok...

I've made no bones about the fact that I don't like Trump, but the money that they are talking about pulling from Ca is grant money. This grant money has a lot of strings attached to it. Strings that the state isn't following. Trump, or any president not pulling the funding is one of the strings, if the state local level isn't following the grant funding the feds have a responsibility to pull the money.

This information isn't widely dispensed and the biased media just wants to spin and slant anything they can to make Trump look bad, it's an issue that doesn't really have anything to do with Trump per se, he's just actually following the law. LOL, it's funny how that all works.

Intellectual dishonesty is probably one of my bigger pet peeves I have. We as a nation have become soooo engulfed into partisan or identity politics that we can't look an issues, issues are the key, but whatever.

Another example of how biased and anti-trump they are, they are calling the travel ban a "Muslim" ban, it's a travel restriction from a group of countries where the governments can't or won't work with us to identify and properly vet people. Those countries have Christians too, not just Muslims.

That is what was said right before Reconstruction of the South.
I would not put it past a Federal Government dead set on draining the swamp. The precedent has been set and carried out before.

"We will certainly not stand for sanctuary even cities, let alone states."

Trump also said that California "in many ways is out of control ... from an economic standpoint ... People are leaving California [and] going to Texas and other places that are run in a different manner, but we’ll see what happens."

California is "out of control?"

I think trump needs to look in the mirror HE is out of control.

The baby cries, when you take the binky away for good. But they get over it and learn to eat.

To crazy people a sane person with sane policies might look "crazy "

We've had many years where common sense was totally ignored .

The crazy thing is leftist politicians desperate to protect illegals and willing to lose federal funding over it .
Nothing normal about that .

It's normal to want the laws enforced ..

I wonder what the end game is for the far far leftist loons that basically want open borders?? I'm not being facetious here, I can't figure out what they actually want. Common sense would say that you need to checks and balances in terms of who comes in and out. Security after 911 is probably a major impetus for this. I'm not sure what they get by pandering to illegals coming into the country.

Mexico's southern border is well well regulated and they have military down there, granted it's a much smaller physically speaking border and probably easier to enforce, but if they have strict rules about their borders, just like most sovereign nations, why can't we???

With all the attention the US-Mexico border gets, the "bad hombres" will continue to take the "scenic route," i.e. the US-Canada border.
