The thing I have already done is I've used my powers as governor of Texas to withhold funds to cities or counties that are declaring themselves to be sanctuary cities. But second, We're about to have a legislative session here, and I've declared that we are going to pass a law banning sanctuary cities in the state of Texas. Has it worked? It has worked with regard to the withholding of funds, because it was the sheriff of Dallas county who said that she was not going to enforce laws against people who were seeking sanctuary.
