DHS's 2006 threat to New York's anti-terror funds becomes DOJ's threat to strip states' welfare money
“This is the same con they ran on New York in '06 — pull the money first, invent the justification after, and hope nobody remembers the last time. Except now it's not one city's terror grant, it's every state's welfare check, and the people who lose food assistance because a state didn't snitch fast enough aren't the ones who voted for any of this. Twenty years, same filing cabinet, bigger number.”
“Look, nobody's cutting welfare from anybody who's playing by the rules. States report who's here illegally, states keep their money — that's not coercion, that's a compliance requirement, same as any grant. Sure, the Secretary said in the Oval Office they explored "withholding funding" from sanctuary cities before DOJ made it official, but exploring options isn't a threat, it's — okay, it's a threat. Did I say that? That doesn't sound like me.”
