Such a petty, small person.

Then states like California won't have to worry if they lose those few federal dollars.

California gets more per capita than the average state. They get more in federal funding than any other state (because they are so big). Their state university system would collapse without federal support, their health care sysstem would collapse without federal support, their police/emergency services would collapse without federal support, their k-12 system would collapse without federal support, they need those federal dollars.

Shh, don't tell them. Also amusing they don't get that that produce has to go somewhere or the "they support red states" argument is null. Oh and try to export it to other countries and the feds would just slap higher tariffs for them to export. It's telling that these morons want to shield known criminals from deportation. It makes zero sense and anyone that wants to is a criminal themselves.

Yeah I was trying to figure out if these people thought that California didn't have to sell the produce to someone. This whole argument is very odd. CA would fold like a chair if federal funds were pulled. At minimum they wouldn't actively impede federal law enforcement.

You have it wrong. California is the 5th largest economy in the world. If the feds withhold funds, then CA withholds funds and guess who loses? The "taker" red states that depend on CA paying more into the system.

That is not how it works.

Newsome is itching for this, and I think he is quite a bit smarter than Homan. He's also a sociopath.

1. Newsome is an idiot. 2. The people of the state and all of it's businesses will pay their taxes. None of this is up for debate.

And yet here we are. Debating.

President-elect Trump’s pick for “border czar,” Tom Homan, on Sunday threatened funding for states that refuse to cooperate in the federal government’s deportation plans.

Fox News’s Mark Levin, in an interview with Homan aired Sunday, said the border czar will have “a very, very powerful weapon that the Democrats, when they’re in power, use against Republican administrations, state and local, all the time: federal funding.”


“If you have a governor who says, ‘I’m not gonna cooperate. … I’m gonna block you,’ well, then, federal funds should be slashed to that state, and I mean hugely so, so the people of that state understand that the governor is the responsible party, that the mayor’s the responsible party,” Levin added.

Homan agreed with Levin, saying “that’s going to happen, I guarantee you,” adding that the president-elect “will do that.”

Homan said Sunday that Democrats needed to put aside their feelings about Trump and cooperate.

“I’ll say this: President Trump has made it clear, we’re going to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats right out of the gate [because] they pose the most danger to this country. What governor or mayor doesn’t want public safety threats and national security threats out of their neighborhoods, out of their communities?” Homan said Sunday.

“That’s their number one responsibility. So you can hate Trump all you want, but you gotta love your community more than you hate President Trump,” he added.

That’s what I can’t understand. Why don’t these governors want dangerous criminals out of their states/communities? It doesn’t make sense from a public safety standpoint at all.

This guy is s as close to the SS as anyone can be. I will not be surprised when he has a personal army of red neck goons and murders illegal and legal immigrants with impunity to because Trump has given him carte Blanche.

California also pays the most in taxes. If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world and more productive than India and the United Kingdom. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I know this is a fool’s errand. The actual reason for sanctuary cities is so that illegal immigrants will not fear getting entangled with city bureaucracies, especially police departments. The police want everyone to cooperate and come forward to reduce crime.

Plus they don’t have adequate resources or authority to undertake federal law enforcement duties.

Then states like California won't have to worry if they lose those few federal dollars.

California gets more per capita than the average state. They get more in federal funding than any other state (because they are so big).

Yeah I was trying to figure out if these people thought that California didn't have to sell the produce to someone. This whole argument is very odd. CA would fold like a chair if federal funds were pulled. At minimum they wouldn't actively impede federal law enforcement.

? CA produce is sold all over the US. It's the biggest producer of fruit by far. You're telling me that the US would then just import half their fruit from .. ? Mexico? Peru? Chile?

Because the governors live in the land of reality. They live in productive states that employe the very people that the morons want to deport. They rely on their labor and leverage that to keep costs low so that we can all support the red state welfare queens. Texas is already figuring out what this is going to do to their economy.

Man, I thought that 2024 Civil War movie was a little bit far-fetched, but it’s starting to seem more realistic as the days go by.

Yes, because the illegals getting 2k/month debit cards and selling food and trinkets on the streets in NYC are vital for our economy and survival. Grow a brain.

? Do you think all illegals do that? You need to grow a brain.

Most of them work in farming, construction, janitorial services...

NP- No, I read it as that all of the fruit they produce must be sold all over the US or it's worthless. Pretty clear and right. It was meant for everyone saying that CA can punish everyone by withholding it. That is an odd argument.
