During a recent press conference, President Trump discussed the issue of sanctuary cities and immigration policies, particularly focusing on California and other states.
President Trump emphasized that many residents in California are against the concept of sanctuary cities, viewing them as places that protect individuals who have committed crimes from deportation. He stated that the people of California are tired of this practice and want these cities to comply with federal immigration laws.
Regarding the power of the federal government, President Trump asserted that states like California, despite being largely considered sanctuary states, will not be allowed to continue protecting individuals who are in the country illegally. He highlighted the concerns of residents in various states, such as Ohio and Colorado, who are also fearful of the impact of illegal immigration.
President Trump criticized the governor of Colorado for being indecisive on the issue and avoiding public discussion about the challenges posed by sanctuary cities. He warned that the situation will only worsen as more individuals settle in the country illegally.
He expressed a belief that the current influx of 21 million undocumented individuals will lead to escalating problems that have not been seen before. President Trump urged for stricter enforcement of immigration laws and emphasized the need to address the issue promptly to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
