Just when you think that arrogant government leaders couldn’t do more to insult taxpayers, a growing number of cities are creating funds to pay for the legal defense of illegal immigrants facing deportation.
More jurisdictions are moving ahead with such plans, even at a time when cities and taxpayers are under heavy pressure from budget woes.
Sacramento is the latest city on the bandwagon, with City Council voting last Thursday to withdraw $300,000 from the general fund to provide “urgent legal and support services” to families facing separation because of the deportation of family members.
Under the U.S. Constitution, illegal immigrants are not entitled to the same legal rights as United States citizens. Those being held for deportation have the right to a hearing before an immigration judge and can be represented by a lawyer.
Unlike a criminal proceeding, the government is not required to pay for that legal representation.

Unfugginbelieveable
So American citizens are paying for illegals to fight the law and stay? That should be absolutely unacceptable. It is obvious our enemies have not only I fiktrated our military, but our political system as well.
Hell no !!!!!
Cut off all federal funding to them!
Hopefully they will all go broke.
If these cities have that much money then the people in these cities need lower taxes
We have the laws on the books required to jail all city, county, and state officials who aid or abet illegal immigrants or who refuse to completely shut down sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. All Trump and Sessions need to do is enforce them!

I hate the fact that liberal oregon is one of those states with almost all the cities being stupidly sanctuaries; I’m tired of tax payers dollars going to support of illegals in the form of welfare; now the f****ing state is going to do this??? time to vote out these liberal dems
Aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a violation of federal law and is a felony and must,must,be adjudicated ! Failure to prosecute in its self is a crime !
Time to hold these cities accountable. That is NOT what our tax dollars are to be used for.
