So does that mean that those in NC and other states who are passing laws allowing them to discriminate, which is against the law, also should lose their funding and be arrested too???
I'm not focusing on what the state or city is doing exactly. They are both breaking laws which is all that matters so far. What I'm looking at is the allowance of the Federal Gov. to yank it's funding.
I've heard some people say that pulling the funding for NC is Fascist. But wouldn't pulling the funding on these cities be allowing the same Fascism to take place???

So according to Trump, these sanctuary cities are crime ridden because of illegals immigrants? These cities should lose all funding and I suppose this would affect the illegal immigrants?
Well, if you want crime to go down this is not the way to do it. Desperate people commit crimes.

People love to spout the law when it's for their cause. Anti-discrimination, anti-trust, product safety, custody, consumer protection, hippa etc. But when it comes to this man trying to enforce immigration and punish those breaking this law, whether it's a single individual or a municipality, you all have nothing but disdain.
The hypocritical bleeding hearts wonder why we laugh at them.
Don't like it? Change the law. Until then hush.
Yep. Trump is actually talking about policy which curbs a certain problem facing this nation (and others), and he STILL gets burned for it.
Let's face it, there are people that would oppose Trump regardless what he says or does. It's the nature of the Beast.

How about that...a Republican who doesn't want more illegal aliens. Almost like a real Republican. Most of them just talk the talk while holding the door open. Illegal immigration has been the best thing to happen to rich corporations. While they may not (in most cases) directly employ illegals, they use contractors & sub-contractors who do. They reap the benefits of diminished wages for all. In short, Republican members of Congress won't like this. Neither would their partners in crime, the Democrats.

Libralist that's who .. laughs. here's an idea, those liberals can use their own $$$ to send all the illegals back to where they came from and let their own country support them instead.

Some examples with details might help that argument.

Yea, but Trump doesn't do specifics too well.
He's using the same rhetoric that the NAZIs used to get into power. Conjour up a few myths about some terrible situation or target group, then start talking about it without being specific or giving examples, under the guise of political correction, until the angry mob is behind you with their torches and pitch forks so you can storm the castle and take down the big nasty monster.

So pulling federal funds out of a state because the state wants to discriminate against certain groups that's an outrage and an abuse of Federal Power.
But using that same pulling of federal funds out of a city because they don't want to remove illegal immigrants is a great idea??
I know it's not apples for apples. One is a city and one is a state. But both are still illegal, both Illegal Immigration and Discrimination. So other than the size of those being punished what am I missing that makes one ok and the other one not ok????

Ridiculous. Cities where religious and charitable organizations help immigrants should be denied funds? These places also help imigrants on the path to citizenship.
Trump is backwards, as usual.

It was your silly statement that needs backing up, not the OP. I think you're the one who needs to provide examples that these cities are havens for the downtrodden, full of charitable and religious selfless protectors....
My two cents...feed your own people before sheltering illegal immigrants.

Obamasays a lot of things, then says other things completely contradictory.
I am amazed by those still listening to an obvious quack
