'We're going to see more': Sanctuary cities cave in face of Trump's funding threats
Fox News, Feb 10, 2017, Elizabeth Llorente

Several towns, cities and counties around the nation are caving to President Trump's threat to pull funding, and abandoning their "sanctuary" pledges to shield illegal immigrants from federal authorities.

Dayton, Ohio, dropped a policy that restricted the city’s cooperation with immigration officials pursuing illegal immigrants arrested for misdemeanors or felony property crimes, according to the Dayton Daily News. Police Chief Richard Biehl said federal authorities will no longer be impeded by the city when pursuing illegal immigrants being held by his department.

Other communities that have dropped policies of shielding illegal immigrant suspects from Immigration and Customs Enforcement include Miami-Dade and Dayton, are Saratoga, N.Y., Finney County, Kan., and Bedford, Penn., according to The Center for Immigration Studies, which keeps a list of sanctuary communities.

The changes have come on the heels of President Trump’s executive order giving the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security the power to cut federal funding to communities that are deemed sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. Trump also has authorized the DHS to publish a weekly list of sanctuary communities.

This could backfire....at least in terms of voter support.

In order to 'FIX' our illegal immigrant-Welfare State crisis which has affected entire communities and school districts/budgets, the visuals shown on the mainstream media are going to be painful and hurtful to watch/witness.

"Tough Love", sucks. 

What should landlords, with illegal alien tenants...whose rent is paid under Section 8 tax dollars...DO??

Are the local citizens willing to pay higher taxes at the cast register, or at the gas pump to make up for the lost federal money? 

Expect to see new bills introduced regarding landlord/tenant agency laws.   Making it harder to evict tenants who can't pay rent thru no fault of their own, etc..
