According to a recent article attributed to San Francisco
CBS station, KPIX, the liberal Democrat leadership in California is planning to
go Donald Trump one better if he follows up on his threat (one hopes it’s a promise
and not just a threat) to withhold federal money from the law-breaking states which
have sanctuary cities coddling and protecting illegal alien criminals and
breaking federal law.
The article informs us that California is “studying
ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington” if President Trump follows
through on his campaign promise and withholds federal money from the
law-breaking sanctuary cities.
California is already going broke and is pimping for any
tax dollars it can coax from its already over-taxed citizens, and then pretends
that it doesn’t really need the millions of dollars it gets from Uncle Sugar?
Just wait until the highly taxed citizens of California catch on to the
Democrat leaders’ scheme and themselves try the logic of not paying Sacramento
the taxes it demands of private citizens. This scheme to oppose President Trump
as he tries to get control of America’s immigration problem may explode in
their faces.
And what about the states and cities that do not
participate in the sanctuary scheme and are paying money owed to the federal government
as they should? Most states smaller than California who have relatively smaller
geographical size and fewer citizens, continue to pay proportionately more in taxes
to Washington than do the larger states, and to let the needy, highly indebted
or just plain broke, states such as California, Illinois and New York avoid the
same taxes other states pay, just because they are practicing illegal
immigration policy, is just plain nuts. The lesser states who are behaving
legally are already paying higher per-capita taxes/money transfers to
Washington in order to support the larger states who have more people, more
welfare and much higher indebtedness than their smaller counterpart states. The
reason states like California and other sanctuary states are having financial
troubles is a package deal of behaving illegally, practicing socialism and
being run by Democrats.
