House Republicans passed two major reforms Thursday targeting criminal aliens in so-called “sanctuary cities.” Both bills were inspired by crimes committed in California, and both will impact California more than any other state.
Over 100 jurisdictions, from Manhattan to Malibu, refuse to assist federal law enforcement in their immigration law enforcement duties, especially as to criminal aliens arrested for crimes here in the United States but released before federal law enforcement can detain and deport.
Illegal aliens and supporters for a sanctuary city stood out in the rain in front of the city’s administration building on Thursday chanting, “Not on our watch,” and “One city, one fight.” They want protection for illegal aliens, Muslims, and the LGBT community.
Louisiana Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry says his state is taking the lead when it comes to cracking down on sanctuary cities. On Breitbart News Daily Friday morning, he touted bills which would cut off funding for building projects and allow victims of illegal alien criminals to sue municipalities.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott was interviewed by Sean Hannity and the nationally syndicated radio talk show host told Abbott – “Good job in Texas, I’ll tell you that!” Hannity commended Abbott for his tough stance on sanctuary cities, his lawsuit against the Obama administration’s amnesty program, and putting a halt to Obama’s amnesty during his tenure as President. The talk show host also asked the Texas Governor who he was supporting as President.
