JUST IN: Trump moves to build border wall, cut sanctuary city funds

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump moved aggressively to tighten the nation’s immigration policies Wednesday, signing executive actions to jumpstart construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall and block federal grants from immigrant-protecting “sanctuary cities.”

“We’ve been talking about this right from the beginning,” Trump said during a brief signing ceremony at the Department of Homeland Security.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the White House had not circulated copies of the documents or briefed reporters on the details, as has been typical practice in past administrations. But Trump cast his actions as fulfillment of his campaign pledge to enact hard-line immigration measures, including construction of a wall paid for by Mexico. U.S. taxpayers are expected to pay for the upfront costs, though Trump continues to assert that Mexico will reimburse the money through unspecified means.

Don't you think it's about time? Decades to late - it should have been done under Ronald Reagan - but no - the Congress and Presidents have all 'kicked the can down the road'.

And all of these so called sanctuary cities that have been issuing these fraudulent ID cards in order to try and circumvent the US Immigration and Naturalization - I hope Trump cuts all of their funding - because in the end - it's the AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO HAS BEEN PENALIZED ALL OF THESE YEARS!!!!
