Send all the illegals to Cali’s sanctuary cities!LA and San Fran in particular.Nancy P has plenty of room with open arms!
The Democrats are kinda liking federalism these days, while the GOP turns statist.

SANCTUARY CITIES ARE ANTI AMERICAN AND SHOULD BE BANNED! TRUMP 2020!
Keep fighting for the rights of people committing crimes over the rights of Americans, California. Yay, you!

Well, it’s the 9th Circuit so....
All that's standing between the Trump Administration and full-on autocratic fascist governing is the law, the courts, and attorneys fighting to hold the Trump Cult to the rule of law.
