There are a lot of so-called sanctuary cities out there - cities where if someone is arrested, their immigration status is not questioned and ICE does not get called in. Schools and churches are doing this too - even Whatcom County is a sanctuary county. This is all well and good but what with all the well-meaning hard workers coming across the Mexican border, there are also a lot of criminals.
Looks like times could get interesting for the Sanctuary Schools - from Breitbart:
Federal Proposal Would Strip Funds from Sanctuary Campuses
A U.S. representative from California has introduced a bill to block Title IV funds to colleges and universities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
Representative Duncan Hunter (R-CA) introduced the No Funding for Sanctuary Campuses Act in late December to define “sanctuary campus” and create financial penalties for any “institutions of higher education that violates immigration laws.” The bill, H.R. 6530, was co-sponsored by Representatives Tom McClintock (R-CA) and Lou Barletta (R-PA).
“It’s by no means unreasonable to expect the nation’s higher learning institutions to follow the law the same way we expect states and localities to abide by the law,” Hunter told the Washington Examiner in an interview published on Tuesday. “If a school wants federal money, an open declaration that it’s a sanctuary should disqualify it for federal support.
“It’s free to do that, of course, but there should be a consequence in the form of withheld federal funding — it’s that simple,” the California congressman stated.
Heh - I love it. You are free to Virtue Signal all you want but you will be doing it on your own dime.
