Benishek: No Sanctuary for Law-Breakers
Statement
Issues: Immigration Criminal Justice
Today, the House passed the Enforce the Law for Sanctuary Cities Act (H.R. 3009), legislation introduced by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) that would deny funding for states or local governments that fail to enforce immigration laws that protect Americans.
"The law is the law, and we simply cannot allow states and municipalities to ignore the rules that protect American lives. Today's bill is just common sense, and I will continue to work to ensure that America's immigration laws are enforced," said Dr. Dan Benishek.
H.R. 3009 follows the tragic death of Kate Steinle who was killed in cold blood by an illegal immigrant who was protected by the sanctuary city laws of San Francisco.
