BREAKING NEWS FROM TOM TANCREDO
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 15, 2007
Tancredo Amendment to Cut Funding for Sanctuary Cities Passes with Strong Bipartisan Support
"The times, they are a changing." - Rep. Tancredo
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo's (R-CO) amendment to cut funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Bill (H.R. 263 for cities that employ a sanctuary policy passed the House with strong bipartisan support today; 234 to 189.
"The times, they are a changing," said an exuberant Tancredo, who had introduced the same amendment several times in the past with far less support. "This should also serve as a warning sign to the White House and supporters of re-introducing an amnesty bill from the Senate. If that legislation makes it to the House, it is in serious trouble."
The Amendment would prevent cities like Denver and San Francisco who employ a sanctuary policy for illegal aliens from receiving first responder funds, including law enforcement and terrorism prevention grants, among other programs.
Tancredo concluded, "The days that local officials could pander to the open borders special interests are over."
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
