Texas Start Defunding Sanctuary Cities

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott receives thousands of praise from all over the United States after blocking the funding over so-called "sanctuary cities" for the first time last 1 February. This came after Austin's sheriff said the city's jails would no longer honor most federal immigration detainers.

The move begins a crackdown Abbott wants in Texas over criminal suspects who are in the country illegally, which comes as he pushes to sign new laws that could go even further than President Donald Trump's new executive actions against sanctuary policies.

As expected, supporters of illegal aliens, gays and snowflakes see it differently and could be a harbinger of the power of populism to upend a Western society. In merely a year, critics who likes to hug stuff toys and color their books, the nationalists have transformed Poland into a surreal and insular place.
