Alert! HR 3531 would deny funds to sanctuary cities!

At long last, the federal government is demonstrating some tepid increase in attempts to provide interior enforcement of our immigration laws. Yet, even these mild efforts are hamstrung by local cities that declare themselves sanctuaries from immigration enforcement.

The Accountability in Enforcing Immigration Laws Act of 2007 (Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-FL) would tackle the troubling trend of local governments to require their police officers to ignore the immigration status of suspects they encounter while performing their jobs.

HR 3531 would:

Affirm and clarify that state and local law enforcement officials have the authority to apprehend and arrest illegal aliens encountered in the course of their routine duties.
Provide additional federal funding to cooperating law enforcement agencies for the costs of apprehension and detention.
Revoke 25 percent of non-emergency federal Homeland Security funding for sanctuary cities that refuse to change their policies.

Mine are currently being sued for sanctuary policies. I'd be happy to contact somebody elses though.

I got my email alert from CAPS a little while ago and have started phoning and faxing.

I just got the email; I'm on it!

Done! I sent my letter in through CAPS and added the following to the letter:

With recent news that Illegal Aliens may have been responsible for the devastating fires that have hit this state, it is imperative that we send Mexico a stern message that we shall no longer take the abuses their citizens are inflicting upon us! Providing sanctuary to ILLEGAL people with uninvestigated criminal behavior is not acceptable. I urge you to support this measure.

I am also forwarding this information to my private e-mail listings.

Revoke 25 percent of non-emergency federal Homeland Security funding for sanctuary cities that refuse to change their policies.
