Sacramento Allocates Taxpayer Money to Fight Illegal Immigrant Deportations
It's so great to see how much money some areas must have to help people who are here illegally. How upside down so many things are especially in this state.

The City Council in Sacramento, Calif. voted unanimously late Thursday to spend taxpayer money on services to help illegal immigrants fight deportation.
A network of legal, educational, and faith-based nonprofit groups will receive $300,000 to assist immigrants with a variety of issues, not just deportation, the Sacramento Bee reported. The funds would likely be available within a month, according to Sacramento Councilman Eric Guerra.
"The reality is there is a lot of fear," Guerra said. "We can alleviate that fear."
The funding would help children of illegal immigrants by providing them legal guardianships. Immigrants could also protect their bank accounts and homes with city-funded powers of attorney. The nonprofits receiving funding would educate immigrants on their rights as well.
Guerra, who led a task force that proposed allocating the city's funds, justified the decision by pointing out that illegal immigrants often pay taxes and contribute to the economy.
One board member of the Sacramento Republican Woman Federated called the council's decision "disgusting."
"I don't think that taxpayer money should be used to support this. I'd rather it be given to the homeless," Jennifer Garets told the Bee.

Sacramento Now Forcing Taxpayers to Fund ILLEGAL Immigrants Fighting Deportation

Sacramento can now be added to the list of cities that have officially lost their minds.
Sacramento has approved the use of taxpayer money to help pay legal defenses for ILLEGAL immigrants who are to be deported.

The Sacramento City Council decided in a unanimous vote (that did not include every individual in the city’s say) that $300,000 should be taken from the general fund to “provide urgent legal and support services to Sacramento families facing the immediate threat of separation due to deportation”.

Fox News reports:
The plan, backed by the mayor, fits a trend of local and state lawmakers taking similar action. As the Trump administration separately faces a court setback in its bid to cut off federal funds to sanctuary cities, those jurisdictions are only doubling down.
. . .
In Sacramento, Councilman Eric Guerra told Fox News in an email that their move to assist with legal defense reflects a “commitment to treat all Sacramento residents equally and with the dignity and respect they deserve.”
The only problem with this logic is the fact that these are not U.S. citizens, and it shouldn’t matter if a family gets split up. Let the whole family go back as one unit. This shouldn’t land on the shoulders of taxpayers. We are financing international crime. We are financing the rape of our citizens. We are financing violence that should not be here in the first place. If it came from inside the U.S., by a U.S. citizen, we would deal with it accordingly, but we shouldn’t have to clean up the mess of someone who came here illegally.
Many are referencing the Catholic Church as a way to pull at the heartstrings of people of faith, however, the Pope has a dangerous globalist view. Law and order and protecting our borders is morally the right thing to do.
