The shooting last month by an illegal immigrant of 32-year-old Kate Steinle, who died in her father's arms on a San Francisco pier, has focused the nation's attention on so-called "sanctuary cities" — local jurisdictions that, as a matter of policy, refuse to comply with federal immigration law.
Donald Trump's plan to cut taxes would zap almost $12 trillion from federal receipts over 10 years, swell budget deficits to an even greater degree, and deliver the biggest benefits to the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans, according to an analysis released Tuesday by the Tax Foundation in Washington.
On the plus side, the nonprofit organization that analyzes tax policy said the Republican presidential candidate's plan would create 5.3 million more full-time jobs than would be generated by the economy without the cuts. It also said that the nation's economic output would be 11 percent higher over a decade, and wages would be 6.5 percent higher, "provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed."
