This is about a tweet from our idiot prez this evening, who tweeted this after misunderstanding (?) his own deputy secretary when that spokesperson appeared on Fox News:
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/hogan-gidley-defends-trumps-sanctuary-city-proposal-were-figuring-out-if-we-can-do-that-legally/
Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes! Trump wrote.
Trumps tweet comes just following a segment on Fox News where his deputy Press Secretary defended the plan.
Speaking with Fox News Jeanine Pirro on Saturday, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley defended President Donald Trumps plan to ship detained migrants to sanctuary cities.
Gidley claimed, though, that the actual transport hasnt started yet because Trump is still considering all of his options and they are still working on the legality of the issue.

Pirro then asked if it had started already.
Not yet, were trying to figure out if we can do that Legally, Gidley replied.
A few minutes later, Trump tweeted out that the USA has the absolute legal right to what he wants.

GET HIM THE FUCK OUT. Deport him to Siberia, if he loves Russia so much. His family, too theyre a disease that needs to be eradicated.
Legally, of course, Agent Mike.

(15,805 posts)our mansgement and tax policies appear to be working quite spectacularly.
Trump wants to pretend that immigration issues are not a Federal responsibility, so he shouldn't be too shock when California sends him the bill for all that high level of care he insists on.
