Number Of Sanctuary Cities Nears 500
Time for Trump folks to get a list, if they haven’t already and start pulling that federal aid.
Quote:Nearly 500 jurisdictions are now sanctuary cities, according to a group that’s tracked the issue for more than a decade, and who said there’s been a massive surge in the number of places trying to thwart federal immigration agents since President Trump’s election.
The Ohio Jobs & Justice Political Action Committee has added more than three dozen new cities and counties to its list in 2017 alone, as jurisdictions rush to try to shield illegal immigrants from what they expect to be a new push for deportations under Mr. Trump.
“More will be coming,” said Steve Salvi, founder of OJJ. “A lot of communities now, there’s resolutions in the works and citizens groups encouraging city councils to pass them.”
Perhaps just as surprising, though, are the four cities OJJ has removed from its list or is poised to remove, once it gets final confirmation of cooperation with Homeland Security officials. Two of those are in Alaska, while the other two are Dayton, Ohio, and Miami, Florida.

500 cities who should receive no federal funding.

If they're not following federal laws.. if you want to call it 'stealing'...
I mean according to liberals, tax money is already money that belongs to the federal govt.. so how is it stealing if the federal govt just decides not to give away that money to sanctuary cities?

They will still get the federal services enumerated in the constitution. They just won't get pork barrel money for things they should be providing for themselves anyway nor will they get matching funds for pet projects.
