California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a longtime proponent of sanctuary cities & counties, saying they’re safer and make more sense economically and otherwise:
.@jeffsessions here's the TRUTH: 35.5 FEWER crimes are committed per 10,000 people in sanctuary counties. These counties are SAFER #altfacts https://t.co/Mlb3qOUua3

Here are the real facts on Sanctuary Counties.
-Household income is $4,353 higher
-Poverty rate is 2.3% lower
-Unemployment is 1.1% lower

Sessions and Trump should really do their homework before they decide to sue CA.
Sanctuary counties have:
– Fewer crimes committed
– Higher median household incomes
– Lower poverty rates
– Lower unemployment ratesThese policies keep us safe, and allow communities to thrive.

Fast forward to President Trump saying he’s considering sending migrants at the border to sanctuary cities where people in the country illegally are welcomed with open arms. Here’s Newsom’s take on that:
Gavin Newsom says Trump proposal to release immigrants into sanctuary cities is "asinine" https://t.co/KoUIZDvTvb pic.twitter.com/ExyCI10g56

And Newsom had even more words to describe Trump’s proposal:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom tore into President Trump’s proposal to send detained undocumented immigrants to sanctuary jurisdictions on Friday, declaring the idea “unserious,” “illegal,” “asinine” and “sophomoric,” among other things.
Well would you look at that! Why would Newsom be against making sanctuary areas safer and more economically prosperous?
But I thought illegal immigrants made our communities better, Gavin. https://t.co/F25DoUOQMd

Leave it to @realDonaldTrump to get the liberal mayor of San Francisco to come out against sanctuary cities. Bravo! https://t.co/2rJJTpJc1v

Trump really got progressives like Newsom to walk into the backfire of the year.
Life comes at you fast.
Remind me again why Sanctuary Cities are supposed to be important?

Gavin Newsom put to the test… Predictably, spectacularly fails. https://t.co/CmoNACBVIN

Dear @GavinNewsom you and @AGBecerra made your bed. @realDonaldTrump should fill your personal neighborhoods with undocumented guests. Why should we be the only ones who suffer from your policies? https://t.co/zwJTA62Qzy

Why is it crazy? Why should other cities that want legal vetted immigrants have to shoulder the cost of your stupid ideas. The illegal immigrants will be happy as can be. https://t.co/TAEYspXlg6

Well, @GavinNewsom is an expert on being asinine. https://t.co/n0zbc4zHfz

Do you think people like Newsom realize what Trump has gotten them to admit?
