Every city in America should reject federal funding.
Hell, America should just be a confederation of independent city states.
Folks need to understand, you can't be a world power if you don't have a strong central government. Confederation of independent States sounds great on paper, but all it means is that each state gets pushed around by foreign nations and then laughed at when their weak central government sticks up for them.
This is a particular pet peeve of mine. Folks don't understand the cost of the things they want. Do you want to have the World's strongest and most advanced military? That costs money to build, research and train. A LOT of money. So that requires a strong tax beaurcracy to collect those taxes and a strong beaurcracy to oversee the expenditures and make sure the government isn't ripped off. All of that leads to big government.
Do you want a small government? A small government can't effectively collect taxes or oversee expenditures meaning you won't have enough money for a strong military and what money you have will be lost ot graft or waste.
After WWII the American public made a very conscious decision that they wanted to be a major world power and gave up isolationism. The consequence of that is the large Federal Government we now have.
And it was a good decision! The way the world works now isolationsim is doomed to failure.
Rant over, go back to talking about immigration.
