Was it a racially biased remark by the president last week or was it something else? The word was “breeding” as it relates to those who are here illegally covered under the law in Sanctuary cities. More from White House correspondent April Ryan.

There is a Revolution going on in California. Soooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept. Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW!
