By Thomas Lifson

Thanks to a little-noticed action of Texas Congressman John Culberson taken last July, President-elect Trump will able to cut-off federal law enforcement funding to 9 sanctuary cities, plus the entire state of California, immediately upon taking the oath of office. Brenda Walker of Vdare explains:

    Because of the foresight of a Texas Congressman, President Trump will be able to end certain funding to the largest sanctuary cities plus the entire state of California on his first day as President. Working quietly, Culberson convinced the existing Justice Department to certify those cities as non-compliant with federal law, thereby making them vulnerable to loss of money from Washington.

If the legal tools are already in place, don't talk about it.

There was a case from the time of Nixon - I think- where it was settled that the President (Executive branch) could not refuse to spend the money appropriated by Congress.

In a post-truth America, all that the cities will need to do in order to turn the federal dollar spigot back on is...

... to say they are enforcing the law while not actually doing anything.

That their police just can't find any illegals.
