74 Percent of Californians Want to End Sanctuary Cities

[Locutus]

well well well...maybe common (Trumpin) sense is reaching the idiot left coast after all.

The vast majority of residents living in California would like to see sanctuary cities barred, a state home to multiple jurisdictions which refuse to abide by federal immigration laws.

Roughly 74 percent of California residents want to see an end to sanctuary city policies, according to a poll by UC Berkeley.

The issue to end sanctuary cities in the state crosses racial and party lines, with 65 percent of Hispanics registering their agreement, while 70 percent of independents, 82 percent of Republicans, and 73 percent of Democrats feel the same.

During President Donald Trump’s term, sanctuary cities could see a cut in federal funding and pushback from the Department of Justice under likely Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Even one of our most liberal cities in Massachusetts (Newton) is fighting against becoming a sanctuary city. Not in their backyard.

 

[Danbones]

I'm guessing the other 26 % being the people getting sanctuary?

Sanctuary cities are ghettos, except ghettos are a little better.

Apparently there are more 200 sanctuary cities across the US which in various ways are prevented from helping the Feds when it comes to immigration or custom offenses. Illegal immigrants convicted of crimes are allowed to just walk out of the courtroom in some cases. Pathetic that.

I have family in California. Been there over 50 years. They are all conservative. Just because it has been a blue state for a spell doesn't mean all is blue. Fukkin people climb out of your tunnel.

Back in the days of the Chandler family dynasty conservatism was the rule especially in the 30's. My family is in central California. I suppose the entertainment crowd has heavily influenced politics but even ole Clint Eastwood is conservative so it has its ebb and flow of opinion. Right now tthe left is the majority.

and that is the impression I got too

a little towards the north ( as well as in the deep south -La)

So, do we now care what the majority in California wants?

As opposed to what?

I actually hope that in the interim that illegal immigrants will flood to these sanctuary cities.

I suspect the designation won't last long without the federal funding.

Many Trump supporters don't think that the majority vote in California means anything, so I was just wondering.

The majority vote in California did mean something. It got Hillary Clinton all of California's 55 Electoral Votes and that was factored into the total electoral vote count.

sure, I mean if California slips into the sea, all the currents flow south...

Its probably good for Canada if the US has it's election processes LEGALY sorted out
being the elephant to the south to the squirrel in the north an' all

 

[Locutus]

Let's hope Trump takes a bat to these cities that harbor illegals and queue jumpers.

It may be a long drawn out court battle but I think that Rump has the power to deny federal funds to those cities who refuse to comply with existing US laws. I'd sure like to see Chicago and San Francisco try to make it financially after losing about 30% of their money sources.

I don't think it is going to be a long drawn out battle to cut the funds. It MAY be a long drawn out battle for these Sanctuary Cities to get the funds back!

They may have to go all the way to the Supreme Court!
