Looks like things may get interesting before they get better. A twofer.
First, from the San Diego Union-Tribune:
Trump considers pulling ICE out of California to let the state learn
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he’s considering pulling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers out of California.
Why? Because he feels the state is giving his administration “no help” in targeting the violent MS-13 gang, especially in Los Angeles.
“We’re getting no help from the state of California,” Trump said from the White House. “Frankly, if I wanted to pull our people from California you would have a crime nest like you’ve never seen in California. All I’d have to do is say ‘ICE and border patrol, let California learn.’”
I would love to see the reaction if this actually comes to pass. Second, from the Los Angeles Times:
Trump accuses California police of being soft on street gangs, and cops fire back
President Trump on Thursday accused California law enforcement of being soft on street gangs and suggested he might pull immigration agents out of the state, prompting a strong rebuke from local officials who said the president doesn't understand their war on gangs.
Trump's remarks are an escalation of a yearlong battle between his administration and California on a variety of topics including illegal immigration and law enforcement. Trump has criticized California for being a "sanctuary" for those here illegally, and federal officials have vowed immigration crackdowns in the state.
I can not imagine what is going through the minds of the California government. Sure, they shower the illegals with free shit and they do return the favor by casting illegal ballots for the Democrat party but still, there is a burden of cost from all the services the illegals are demanding and the rise in crime costs the state a considerable ammount.
Where is the benefit besides justifying the expansion of the government and the raising of taxes. Are they really heading for a Marxist utopia?
