AG Sessions says he’ll punish sanctuaries, cities could lose billions of dollars
2017-03-28
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Monday he’ll begin punishing sanctuary cities, withholding potentially billions of dollars in federal money -- and even clawing back funds that had been doled out in the past.

Speaking at the White House, Mr. Sessions said his department is preparing to dole out more than $4 billion in funds this year, but will try prevent any of it from going to sanctuaries.

"Countless Americans would be alive today ... if these policies of sanctuary cities were ended," Mr. Sessions said.

He said he’s carrying out a policy laid out by the B.O. regime last year, which identified three grant programs -- the COPS grants, Byrne grants and State Criminal Alien Assistance Program money -- that already require sanctuary certification.

The B.O. regime didn’t end up enforcing that policy, but Mr. Sessions said he’ll begin.

#8  They are on the right path. Block funding, give it time, and then start issuing bench warrants - it will change fast

#7  This is going to be a hard fight, but another glimmer of hope appears: BREAKING : Mississippi Governor Just Made Sanctuary Cities Illegal in His State!

"The Mississippi bill says cities, state agencies and public colleges in Mississippi can’t prevent employees from asking about someone’s immigration status (A little "squishy," but it's a start.)
. These public agencies also can’t give aid to people who entered the country without permission, such as by issuing an identification card.

Immigrant advocates and some religious groups argued against the measure."

#4  Are there any "2nd Amendment sanctuary" cities?

"Sanctuary cities" ought to be opposed by everyone. Supporting (assisting) and abetting sanctuary cities is law-breaking. Public officials who promote this ought to be removed from office.

#3  Last I checked, violating federal law by aiding and abetting criminals was grounds for getting yourself locked up.

Start arresting city leaders and putting them in the federal pen along with pulling funds and putting fines on cities and you will see a quick turn around.

#2  It's your Millstone.

Also occupancy of substandard housing,
and property taxes from absentee landlord property management services,
and 'revenue sharing' commerce for local bodegas,
and acceptance of substandard municipal services,
and a source of cheap temporary labor,
and 100+% markup on labor services by general contractors,
and a cohesive demographic community.

#1  You endanger everyone harboring Violent Criminals. That is not "Sanctuary" That is rape my daughter madness.
Forget this. No such thing.

I know there is autonomy, but there are also bench warrants that work nice when criminals have taken refuge in other states.

And Judges and politicians protect them. There are great big records.

It's your Millstone.
