Spicer: ‘We’re Not Going to Use Federal Taxpayer Dollars’ to Support Sanctuary Cities

‘I think the last poll I saw on this issue, on sanctuary cities was somewhere in the 80 percent that American people don’t support sanctuary cities’

EXCERPT:

SPICER: "I think the last poll I saw on this issue, on sanctuary cities, you know, was somewhere in the 80 percent that American people don’t support sanctuary cities. They don’t want their tax dollars used to finance people who are in this country illegally. I think if you are a mayor or a councilman or a state representative or a governor in a state, you need to answer to the people that -- that elected you whether or not you’re going to support this. From a federal perspective, I think the president’s been very clear that we’re not going to use federal taxpayer dollars to support cities that support services to people who are here in this country illegally."
