"Mayor Ed Lee and San Francisco politicians are bracing for what President-elect Donald Trump lists as one of his main priorities: blocking all federal funding for sanctuary cities."

They're not giving up sanctuary city practices. They're willing to lose a billion dollars a year to protect illegal aliens the federal government deems necessary to apprehend.

This could be one of our first chances to see Trump negotiate. Does the mayor and his amigos in city council really want this showdown?

IMHO, I think the best thing for Sanctuary cities is to give up their billions in federal funding unless they comply. Just imagine all that money going to to infrastructure and the military.

Sanctuary cites should NOT get one damned dime of Federal money.

Police Chief to Illegal Aliens: ‘Your Immigration Status Is Completely Irrelevant’
March 6, 2017 – Windsor, California Police Chief Carlos G. Basurto issued a letter in Spanish to illegal aliens in his town, assuring them that they are safe from deportation because his department “will not engage in federal immigration enforcement activities,” and that their immigration status is “completely irrelevant,” Judicial Watch reported on Thursday, March 2.

“If you are an undocumented immigrant in the Town of Windsor, you do not need to fear the officers of the Windsor Police Department,” Chief Basurto wrote, “nor assume that they have any reason to bother you, detain you or arrest you for simply being undocumented. Your immigration status is completely irrelevant to us.” The chief even vowed to protect illegal immigrants with minor criminal records, revealing that he will only allow his department to collaborate with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to apprehend “serious or violent criminals” on the condition that ICE does not arrest individuals based on immigration status or low-level criminal offenses.

While conceding that some illegal aliens are “committed to violence, drugs, and domestic terrorism,” Basurto defended the practice of illegal immigration, saying that “most, if not all of these people emigrated here from other countries … in hopes of making a better life for themselves and their families.”

The chief himself worked in the prune fields of California when he was young, as his grandparents -- who illegally emigrated from Mexico -- did before him,” reported Judicial Watch. “I can relate to these people,” he wrote, “because like many of us in this town, we are these people.” “I am committed to provide them and all other segments of our community,” wrote Basurto, “with a safe and healthy community for all to enjoy and prosper and to have a feeling of equality.”

Windsor officials, fearful of consequences under the Trump administration, plan to keep the town’s sanctuary policies “under the radar,” according to a report in a local Spanish-language newspaper La Prensa Sonoma. The Town of Windsor will “adopt a resolution that omits the word sanctuary,” declaring instead that the town is a “united community that values diversity and the contributions of all residents,” stated the newspaper.

'Jesus Is Working Through' Trump to Clean up Gang Violence and Drugs
March 6, 2017 | Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, an author, talk radio host, and pastor who focuses on "rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man," said that for 60 years not one liberal black leader has sought to clean out the violence and drugs in certain black communities, but Jesus is now "working through President Trump to get it done."

That's on Trump's "bucket list," Peterson added, "to clean up the black community," and also to take the "illegal aliens out of those communities, the gangs" that are "supported by drug cartels." Talking about the difficult situation in some black communities where there is heavy crime and rampant drug dealing and abuse, Peterson, on the March 1 edition of his radio program, said, “I noticed that, over the last 50 to 60 years, there have been black people in positions of power where they could have helped the black community and black people in a positive way and they did not."

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

“You have the Black Caucus, you have the NAACP, you have black preachers, Jesse Jackson, all of them," said Peterson, founder and president of the counseling group BOND. "Then you have President Obama, a black man – half-white, half-black, but he went with his blackness – and he had the power of the United States behind him," said Peterson. "Yet he didn’t go into those communities and clean out the gang violence and the drugs and the crime that’s going on there." "So along comes President Trump and that’s on his list, his bucket list – to clean up the black community so that they too can live," said Peterson. "The point was, most black people hate white folks, and yet it’s the whites, such as President Trump who are going to save them from themselves."

“Jesus is not like coming down here and doing it himself," said Peterson. "He’s working through President Trump to get it done. And I think that it’s interesting in over the last 60 years there has not been one black man that He’s worked through to get it done." "In this manner, saving me, he [Trump] is saving the blacks from themselves by going in there and cleaning up crime, drugs, and so that the decent blacks who are living in those areas can finally breathe and start living without fear of being shot down, robbed, killed," he said. "They can finally work." "And [Trump is] taking the illegal aliens out of those communities, the gangs that come from across the border, supported by drug cartels," said Peterson. "So he is the savior in that manner, the physical savior for the black people.”

In addition to his counseling and Sunday preaching, and his annual Conference on Fatherhood and Men, Rev. Peterson writes a regular column and is the author of several books, including SCAM: How Black Leadership Exploits Black America and The Antidote: Healing America From the Poison of Hate, Blame and Victimhood.
