Mr. SCHWEIKERT. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
This is one of the moments where you get to stand up behind the microphone, and being from Arizona, embrace the irony.
Think of this. This Federal Government sues my State for actually enforcing the Federal immigration law. But yet in this particular case, in this amendment, as my friend here was just pointing out, we hand money to communities that are walking away from enforcing the very law. Does anyone see the irony of: You sue us for doing it, but yet we reward municipalities for becoming a sanctuary city and not living up to their obligations.
