As President Obama tries to shove illegal immigration down the throats of the American public, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has revealed his state will not comply with Obama’s amnesty agenda.
Abbott has just pledged to ban sanctuary cities in his state, a stark contrast to the actions of liberal mayor and governors across the nation.
Yes. I’m going to sign a law that bans sanctuary cities. Also I’ve already issued an order cutting funding to sanctuary cities. #txlege https://t.co/uYXa2QFrvE

Abbott’s comments came in response to a Twitter user who according to The Hill, “questioned whether the Texas governor could do anything to reverse Austin’s pledge to remain a sanctuary city.”
President-elect Donald J. Trump has promised to deport any illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes, and has gone so far as to suggest that sanctuary cities may lose their federal funding for refusing to follow immigration laws.
Two liberal mayors, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel have vocally announced that their cities will not comply with Trump’s immigration proposals, and instead will continue to allow their cities to serve as sanctuary cities for millions of illegal immigrants.
Governor Abbott should be applauded for taking swift action to prevent the spread of sanctuary cities in Texas. While liberal politicians choose to promote lawlessness, Abbott refuses to allow his state to be overrun with crime.
