Newsom criticizes tRump's threat to close border...

local and state businesses will suffer greatly.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/28/ca-gov-elect-newsom-calls-trump-border-closing-threat-irresponsible.html

"During 2017, California exported an average of $127 million per day of merchandise to Mexico, according to the economist. She said the state also imported an average of about $73 million per day of goods from south of the border."
California's Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom responded, tweeting: "$558 billion worth of goods flow across our America's southern border. BILLIONS of dollars — MILLIONS of jobs depend on our border. The President of the United States playing games with our economy and threatening to shut down our border is irresponsible, irrational and absurd."

California's declaration of itself as a "sanctuary state" and deliberate circumvention of federal laws which are the constitutional purview of the federal government is also "irresponsible, irrational and absurd."

As you sow, so shall you reap.
