In the President Donald Trump-era, there could be a high-cost to running a sanctuary city...
On January 25, 2017, the President issued an Executive Order denying federal funding to sanctuary cities who choose not to comply with federal laws regarding deportation of illegal entrants.
Reaction to the new policy from across the political spectrum was immediate. However, the politicians, pundits and journalists admitted that the total amount of federal funding was undetermined.
Our organization, American Transparency (website: OpenTheBooks.com) was able to identify that number. We found nearly $27 billion ($26.74 billion to be exact) in federal funding (FY2016) for America’s 106 Sanctuary Cities. Our new report, “Federal Funding of America’s Sanctuary Cites” details federal grants and other forms of federal spending that flow to those cities.
Using our OpenTheBooks interactive map, search federal funding by city. Just click a pin and scroll down to review the municipal agencies and entities (FY2016).

How are his actions not treasonous? How is it that obama got away with so much crap, but President Trump can't even enforce the laws that have already passed?
There's the first budget cut!
Pulling those aliens out of the country that quickly would collapse the economy. They buy groceries, etc. There needs to be a better plan
Thats enough for almost 3 walls!!!!!!!!!!! Close the sanctuaries and essentially the illegals..(whether they be Mexican or Muslim Extremist).....are paying for the wall with the cuts made!!
2:02 they are buying groceries alright, WITH MY TAX MONEY AKA SNAP !!!
Our late fake African American president did more damage to this country than the 30 presidents before him. His legacy is crap.
And just where do they get their money? One of two ways: working, there by taking a job from an American citizen or from a legal immigrant, also no tax reporting thus increasing taxes to pay for things they use, or supported by our tax dollars thru social programs we pay for. So either way it costs every tax paying person money in one form or another. That does not help the economy but puts a drain on it, not including any American dollars sent back home!
Reducing the national debt one 'sanctuary city' at a time, or in big clumps. What's not to love?
