The numbers below speak for themselves. Sanctuary cities harbor and release criminals responsible for thousands of crimes including violent ones. The cost to taxpayers is staggering.

An October 2014 report from ICE that was made public in 2015 detailed 276 sanctuary cities that released 8,145 illegal migrants of whom 1,867 were later arrested 4,298 times with multiple violations amounting to 7,491 charges. Illegal migrants are 3.5 percent of the U.S. population but are 37.6 percent of federal sentences and 13.6 percent of all offenders sentenced for crimes nationwide. The undocumented comprise 12 percent of murder sentences, 20 percent of kidnapping sentences and 16 percent of drug trafficking sentences. Unauthorized migrants are about 7 percent of the California population but over 12 percent of the state prison population.

An IGS-UC Berkeley poll shows that 74 percent of Californians want sanctuary cities ended; 65 percent of Hispanics, 70 percent of independents, 73 percent of Democrats and 82 percent of Republicans.

And yet, CA legislators want to make it even harder to enforce the countries laws.

...several California legislators are preparing to introduce bills to further impede federal officials. The Legislature hired former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to assist...(LOL)

Won't work though.

A sanctuary city defunding proposal was decided for the 2017 Department of Justice budget in an agreement between House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

I am hopeful that not only will this defunding measure be enforced but even further laws to prevent this revolving door of criminal activity by illegal aliens will be enacted under Trump.

Amen.

It has a good chance of surviving seeing the agreement was between a Republican and an Obama Administration Democrat. I cannot see either side of Congress resisting it in any large numbers.
