Homan on Trump Slashing Funds to States Not Cooperating on Deportation: ‘That’s Going To Happen’
LEVIN: “You know, Tom Homan, you’ve got a very, very powerful weapon that the Democrats, when they’re in power, use against Republican administrations, state and local, all the time: federal funding.
If you have a governor who says, ‘I am not going to cooperate, I’m going to block you,’ well, then federal funds should be slashed to that state, and I mean hugely so, so that the people of that state understand that the governor is the responsible party, that the mayor is the responsible party.
They could beat their chests to being sanctuary cities all they want.
They are part of the United States whether they like it or not.
This is a federal issue.
Even the governor of Texas, he is the one trying to enforce federal law against the Biden Administration.
But these states, much like the Confederacy, they want to go on their own, they want to do their own thing.
To me, you’ve got a powerful weapon, among others, which is, okay, no federal funds, boom.
