A New York City mayor criticized a federal plan that uses $1.8 billion of taxpayer money as a slush fund for supporters. The mayor argued the controversy is not about the amount of money but about what the money is used for. He said politics across the country accepts spending billions to enrich people who already have more resources, while reacting negatively to spending intended to help people who have been left behind. Homeland Security leadership also claimed plans would restrict processing international flights into sanctuary cities that do not allow enforcement of federal immigration laws. The mayor rejected threats over immigration and emphasized a focus on cutting waste and budgeting priorities.
"Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News this week that we're currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local, radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities either because they don't want us to enforce immigration."
