Willingly hiding illegals as a 'sanctuary city' should be punished severely. It's like if we decided to start enforcing voter ID in other places, federal law be damned.

1.) cut federal funding. See how well they can pay for everyone without other people's cash.
2.) prosecute the officials who are participating in crimes of hiding illegals. 3.) deportation. |

http://www.sfexaminer.com/early-reaction-sf-politicians-weigh-donald-trump/ By Examiner Staff on November 8, 2016 10:09 pm Politicians at the local and state level are speaking out about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s success in the polls as Election Day surges into the night. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee was unfazed by Trump’s strong showing. “California will still be California,” Lee said. “San Francisco will be a beacon.” Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom called Trump’s rise “a national disgrace” Supervisor Jane Kim, a District 11 state Senate candidate, said San Francisco will need continue fighting whether a Republican or Democrat is in the White House. “It just means that in a city as progressive as San Francisco, that we’re going to have to continue to fight locally,” Kim said of a possible Trump win. “We’ll continue to do that with a Republican or Democrat in the White House.” She added, “Sanctuary city is going to be a big concern. Funding for public schools is going to be a big concern. Funding for affordable housing is going to be a big concern.” View Quote Californians.......buy as much K-Y as you can because you are going to be hit with the biggest State tax ever....to make up for the funding loss, "the likes of which even God has never seen". |

While I am not saying that withholding fed funds to sanctuary cities shouldn't be done, I wouldn't operate under the illusion that it will impact the life of any illegals one single bit.
Remember when the federal government was "shut down" and the government spent more to shut down and fence off parks and the like then it would have cost to leave them open? The states will be super punitive and stick it to the residents as hard as they possibly can to prove a point. Illegals will still get their welfare, free medical care, rent assistance etc. I just won't be able to pull a building permit, get inspections etc. Public works will also grind to a halt. All of those funds will be redirected to keep the "future democrats" fed, clothed, housed and placated. |

First thing Trump should do it sign an executive order ceasing all federal funding for sanctuary cities. If he does that alone, it was worth voting for him.

LA Times may have got polling right but they HATE Trump https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-california-versus-trumpism-20161113-story,amp.html California versus President Trump
There’s America, and then there’s California. Golden State residents know that their state is a different political animal from their nation, but just how different may not have been fully apparent until Tuesday’s election. Californians voted for Hillary Clinton at a rate (61.5%) higher than any other state’s, save Hawaii. They voted to extend progressive tax rates, restrict ammunition sales, legalize weed and ban plastic bags. They appear to have given the Democrats a two-thirds supermajority in the state Assembly and perhaps, pending the final vote count in one district, a supermajority in the state Senate. Even Orange County, once the seedbed of Goldwaterism, voted Democratic in the presidential race – for the first time since Franklin Roosevelt’s landslide victory in 1936. This time around, of course, Orange County went against the national tide. On Nov. 8, even as the white working- and middle- class of the once-industrial Midwest provided the votes to make Donald Trumppresident, California – a far more racially diverse state than any in the Rustbelt – continued on its own, far more liberal course. In recent years, the state has enacted a $15 minimum wage and its own clean energy standards, established an automatic retirement savings plan for workers, and extended Obamacare eligibility to immigrants in the country illegally. A number of California cities have mandated paid sick days for workers and limited their police departments’ interactions with federal immigration authorities. But California can’t erect a wall to keep Trump administration policies from eroding some of the state’s liberal landmarks. Neither Obamacare, much less the ability of California residents here illegally to buy into it, are likely to survive. Sanctuary cities may be threatened with a loss of federal funds. A Trump withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords won’t negate California’s environmental standards, but California by itself can’t shift the planet away from reliance on fossil fuels. The state’s pro-worker positions, mandating higher wages and decent benefits for millions of Californians, may be eroded in the long run by what’s sure to be Trump’s war on unions. Abetted by such wealthy liberals as Tom Steyer, unions have also funded and waged registration drives that have seen the Democratic share of California registered voters increase from 43% to 45% since 2012, while the Republican share has dropped by 29% to 26%. (Of course, the GOP’s social conservatism, anti-feminism and adamant opposition to immigration reform are responsible for the widening gap too.) As the state GOP has subsided into complete ineffectuality, business, real estate interests and wealthy conservatives who in other states would support Republican candidates have directed their donations instead to moderate Democrats in the legislature, city halls and school boards. On Tuesday, thanks to the state’s top-two primary system, Democrats backed by business faced off against Democrats backed by labor in a number of legislative contests. For the most part, the business Democrats prevailed, though two Assembly members with major funding from oil companies lost to Democrats backed by unions and environmentalists. On social issues like reproductive rights and immigration, however, business and labor Democrats form a united liberal front. In the short term, California will play the role of progressive outlier in a Trumpified United States. In the long run, however, as the nation becomes more racially diverse and as the liberal millennial generation plays a larger role in national politics, chances are good that America will move closer to California’s standards of tolerance and egalitarianism. Just how long that long run lasts will determine how much damage the nation will sustain, and how well California will be able to resist it." |
