They've been getting federal government money (red tax-payers) disguised as other forms to balance their budgets. Then they spend it like they're trillionaires. But rest assured, they'll get bailed-out again, and they'll do it in stealth mode. -------------------------------- California's Deficit Deepens To $32 Billion (14-Year-High)... And That's Before Reparations FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023 . . . The expected shortfall is $9.5 billion worse than a $22.5 billion January estimate, according to figures released today, and will be the biggest deficit since 2010... . . . https://www.zerohedge.com/political/californias-deficit-deepens-32-billion -------------------------------- |

It doesn't bother me until they get federal tax-payer funding to make their budgets. |

It'll likely double quickly. Maybe triple. If you were an immigrant from communist Venezuela, wouldn't you go to the most far left city in the USA to get free stuff that grows on trees? |

The estimate in 2018 was 560,000. Has to be much higher than that today. |

Just like they did in Arizona. 'Arizona border city releases HUNDREDS of unprocessed migrants onto streets of Yuma as authorities struggle with surge in arrivals: Mayor calls on population to stay calm after end of Title 42' |

100,000 could be a strain. |

Long video summarized= scam where a Chinese Man illegally enters country to pick up a large amount of cash. They confront him in a hotel room and call the police. The police let him walk out (despite admitting to the fraud and being in the country illegally), and the police keep saying "it is a Sancturary city". Even the Chinese scammer seems shocked that he can just walk (my guess is the Chinese police would have a different response). And, the police go on to say how they let an illegal walk who was charged with a double homicide because it is a sanctuary city (about 1:10 of the video). If this is what conservatives are outraged about, I do not blame them. My respect for sanctuary cities is certainly going down. This is not chasing down illegals for immigration violations (which you can argue if local police should be involved in), this is letting illegals walk from major crimes because it is too politically bothersome to book them. This is bad for law and order. |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1988 | Guiliani started the national sanctuary city mess in 1994. It was initially intended to protect undocumented witnesses and undocumented crime victims from being reported to immigration services. Then he went overboard with it, and other cities quickly followed.
