Several GOP States Move to Block Their Own Funding to Sanctuary Cities

http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/02/11/gop-states-block-funding-sanctuary-cities

A number of GOP states have moved to introduce legislation (http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/318754-gop-states-move-to-block-sanctuary-cities-after-trump-order) to block their own state funding to so-called sanctuary cities.

The moves come in conjunction with President Donald Trump's executive order to block federal funding to cities that refuse to comply with federal immigration authorities.

The states include Idaho, Texas, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Cities nationwide including New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Boston, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., have all adopted sanctuary status.

As of now, local law enforcement agencies are not required to comply with detention requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Some claim declining to enforce federal immigration laws builds trust among the immigrant communities they serve.

The new legislation however would use state grant money as leverage to require local agencies to comply with federal laws.

The Texas state Senate passed a measure Wednesday to block state funding to sanctuary cities. The measure moves to the state House of Representatives and if passed would go before Gov. Greg Abbott for approval.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday to discuss the state's position on sanctuary cities.

I am in the belly of the Texas beast capital and in a sanctuary city.

This should be an interesting fight in the mainly R party legislators but my city is a blue city through and through.

The sanctuary thing in this city seems to be mainly for illegal aliens from Mexico. There is a "camp" or something in east part of town called Casa I think. Not sure what the camp consists of but I know the local novus ordo Catholic churches support this, as it does throughout the country. I feel fairly sure Casa is still around and gets state and maybe federal grants too.

The novus ordo church is the Church of Vatican II and it is the church of the soup-kitchen gospel or the social gospel or the socialist gospel, which is what the heretical entity in Rome in the white cassock claiming to be "the pope" but who is not even a Catholic. The traditional Catholic church, which still exists but is hidden now, emphatically rejects socialism. Never has, never will. Traditional never keen on capitalism either because it is basically state sponsored usury which the Church used to a very very long time ago call a mortal sin. And the traditional Catholic church has never been too keen on the way the USA was founded and what is called "Americanism."

To my knowledge illegal aliens from countries other than Mexico are not the problem here, though illegal aliens who come in from Mexico can be from other foreign countries and then just easily go up through Mexico and easily slip across into USA. There are bunch of Somali "refugees" in Mexico streaming across now I understand. Mexicans for the most part do not seem to cause huge law breaking problems in town but many of them are heavily involved in drugs and alcohol and drive without drivers licenses and cause many wrecks. I may not have a truly objective and accurate assessment. Just saying what I observe. I know we must have compassion on poor people but these days, it just is very difficult. I personally am against sending back to Mexico parts of families that are here and only leave the legal ones to stay in U.S. That seems wrong to me.

Anyway the subject of this stopping of state grants to sanctuary cities is going to cause an even deeper rift between conservatives, mostly Republicans, and liberal Democrats and between family members in many cases.

People who work hard and save and buy a house and believe in private property and wanting to have and build safe neighborhoods are called racist these days. Obama worked hard to break up the middle class and break up safe neighborhoods and break up good ordered public schools.

I can see that the ways our state laws are made during this legislative session are going to be more heated than ever.

P.S. Sears/ Kmart not selling Trump items must be some kind of last ditch thing they are trying to get some billionaire to rescue those bankrupts stores that are just about to go out of business. I personally hate to see Sears go out of business but now not so much.

Speaking of sanctuary cities, Catherine Austin Fitts just said something quite illuminating. At about 12:00 on this video...

Said the funding and the placement of cities deemed to be sanctuary cities was a deep state plan from the beginning to set up the electoral college bay and for Hollywood City, Wallstreet, Washington and Silicon Valley, or something like that.

Whole interview was very interesting. She analyzes from the very Big Picture / Chessboard perspective. I am not sure I completely understand all of this but sounds right to me and wish Trump would pay attention if he means well.

She says it is all down to

do we want a

Human Society

or do we want an

Inhuman Society.

She implies that she interprets Trump real outlook to be trying to preserve and protect a Human Society.

She said if we end up with an Inhuman Society, it won't matter about the stock market or the economy.

She also said there is a good chance in 2017, like a 50 / 50 chance, we will see some real action against pedophilia gate. I would say if we let PizzaGate slide, we have taken a giant step toward and inhuman society.

She also explains how the cover story of the Left having humanitarian concerns is not true at all.

She spoke about "the culling machine" and capitalizing on catastrophe for money and world takeover or something like that.

She also said very many of the helping agencies, public and private, are really just inhuman money machines, though many lower level people really think they are in it for humanitarian reasons.

It is, indeed, a matter of civilization vs. anti-civilization, Christian values or Bolshevist "values" (against all things good, beautiful, and wholesome, no matter how bad or truly valueless).

The Bolshevists are anti-humans.

Whether Trump retards the Bolshevists meaningfully and enduringly is yet to be seen, and it appears he might, but mostly for monetary reasons.

I once worked for one of the big "charities" and will never donate to them, and advise others the same. They're all about numbers, with the most important number being inflow of cash. I advise people to only donate to verifiable small charities, local to them, where they can see both delivered benefit, and, waste, fraud and abuse, if any, and act accordingly.

I once called out the financial incest when I was at that "charity," too, and oh boy, the looks I got. We were discussing the annual United Way campaign, and why employees should donate. I asked, "why not just donate to our own organization directly, instead of funding Concorde trips for the UW CEO?"

And it's not like my own employer didn't squander cash - lavish "all-state" parties ("conferences," but they were really parties) - using donation monies to fly in all employees from California to Sacramento, and then provide us quite expensive goings-on. I was based in Sacramento, but we also had regional meetings/"conferences" in the Bay Area, as well.

Public agencies, two of which I also worked for, are also monetary black holes for various reasons. The union one engaged in routine work slowdowns aka "laziness," and I was one of the rookies who actually took the mission statement (of actually helping people) seriously. I was chided for closing dead-wood cases (non-cooperatives, frauds, etc.), which the union veterans liked to retain, to reduce their actual work. The "protective" agencies are the worst, especially CPS. And I made my opinions known on the latter once I was "tenured."
