>the loss of federal funding, which amounts to more than $1 million dollars a week, would be “catastrophic” for the city Repercussions are a bitch. Did you not think of the possibility that the spigot of money would be turned off? This is by design. The government always planned to bait cities into accepting illegals and then turn the money flow off. Next, the local taxpayers will be forced to pay for the burden. Of course, people will flee as the cost of living in the city will explode. The illegals will turn the city into a shithole... oh wait! They already are. The illegals will feel right back at home.
