President Trump hosts Sanctuary State roundtable with California #CounterResistance leaders
“Sacramento is angry because they lost an election. For God’s sake, get over it.
President Donald Trump hosted another roundtable with citizens this week. This one focused on California’s contemptible “Sanctuary State” polices, and he praised several California political leaders for fighting against Sacramento rules.
City and county officials from across the state who oppose California’s sanctuary-state law sat down with President Donald Trump Wednesday to voice their objections to the law, and they got a pep talk from the president who slammed the state for failing to crack down on illegal immigration.
The officials, including San Diego County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar, hailed from counties and cities that have taken stances against the law, some by joining or filing briefs in support of a Trump administration lawsuit challenging it.
“Each of you has bravely resisted California’s deadly and unconstitutional sanctuary state laws,” Trump told the group gathered in Washington, D.C. “You’ve gone through a lot, too, although it’s becoming quite popular what you’re doing. A law that forces the release of illegal immigrant criminals, drug dealers, gang members and violent predators into your communities.
“California’s law provides safe harbor to some of the most vicious and violent offenders on Earth, like MS-13 gang members putting innocent men, women and children at the mercy of sadistic criminals,” Trump said.
One California mayor was very succinct in her assessment of Sacramento’s legislative antics.
“Sacramento is angry because they lost an election,” San Jacinto Mayor Crystal Ruiz said. “For God’s sake, get over it.”
Legal Insurrection has been monitoring the Sanctuary State battle within California. A number of conservative areas in the state have objected and joined that lawsuit, and several officials behind the battle were invited to the White House.
“The state of California’s attempts to nullify federal law have sparked a rebellion by patriotic citizens who want their families protected and their borders secured,” Trump said. “They want border security and they want protection.”
According to Fox 11, jurisdictions that have either filed amicus briefs supporting the federal lawsuit or who have joined it include Newport Beach, Orange, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Fountain Valley, San Juan Capistrano and Yorba Linda.
The list has been expended with the addition of Santa Clarita, which should be very disconcerting to leaders of the #Resistance, as it is in the heart of a deep blue area.
Emotions ran high at Tuesday night’s packed city council meeting, where 200 people reportedly signed up to make public comments. The meeting lasted into the early morning hours, as council members heard from community members over the issue.
…Comments got heated at times, but when the council voted unanimously to file a brief to opt out of the sanctuary state law, the audience erupted into triumphant cheers.
Santa Clarita is the fourth largest city in mostly Democratic-leaning Los Angeles County. It’s the latest city to voice its support for the Trump administration’s federal lawsuit against California over the sanctuary state law.
Hanford, California also voted to join the federal lawsuit against the Sanctuary State law.
One of the generals in the state’s War Against Trump responded to the roundtable with the grace and dignity we have come to expect.
???? @realDonaldTrump is lying on immigration, lying about crime and lying about the laws of CA. Flying in a dozen Republican politicians to flatter him and praise his reckless policies changes nothing. We, the citizens of the fifth largest economy in the world, are not impressed.

However, I think the roundtable confirms something I have been trying to convey from the frontlines:
DONATE

Here’s what we’ll do. We’ll take California’s land area of 163,696 square miles, divide it by the approx population of 40,000,000 to get about .004 square miles per citizen. Er, make that ‘citizen’, since California has a blurry definition of what constitutes a citizen. Anyway, each Californian will take that .004 square mile and create their own sovereign US state to run exaxtly as they please.
2.5 acres per person? I’ll move to CA for that!
With my luck, I’ll draw a needle-infested San Francisco street.
But you’d rule it like a queen. All Hail Leslie! Queen of Needle
Park!
Thank you for the math on how many acres .004 of a square mile is. I was too lazy to do it for a joke post.
Goodness gracious!
Trump is sitting next to and listening to a young lady named Melissa Melendez. And here all this time I thought Trump hated Hispanics. Or so I’ve been told.
What is this world coming to?
As soon as the cameras left he reached over and bit her head off.
Hey Governor moonbat, 4.5 million Cali citizens voted for Trump. Does over 30% of your state and a disparately large taxpaying portion of that economy get zero say?
We can’t do much about the rest, but they are slowly learning, and the rest will just continue to worship Hollywood idols.

From ten million to over 70 million today. It is an invasion, a very expensive invasion.
