{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Donald Trump and Cher are finally in agreement.
The president tweeted Monday the he "finally" agrees with the liberal star after she tweeted about how the city of Los Angeles is handling the immigration crisis.
Cher took to Twitter on Sunday to point out that Los Angeles, a city with about 50,000 homeless, is ill-equipped to deal with a large influx of illegal immigrants, much less its own residents.

If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)How Can it Take Care Of More,” Cher wrote late Sunday afternoon.

The post came after reports on Friday that the Trump administration was considering releasing immigrants detained in sanctuary cities. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told “Fox News Sunday” that the proposal is undergoing a “complete and thorough review.”
