do sanctuary cities still get federal funding?

Question

and are there any bills in congress that would end federal funding to sanctuary cities or are there any bills like this that have been passed recently

Answer 1

Yes, they do get federal funding, but it is time we stopped that. They are breaking federal laws and the elected officials who enforce sanctuary policies for illegal aliens should be arrested and prosecuted for aiding and abetting illegal aliens, which is a felony!

Remind them that so-called "sanctuary cities" are defying Congress and thumbing their noses at the American people. Congress can and must force these cities to obey federal immigration laws.

Dear Senator,

Below are comments from Fred Thompson that I totally agree with regarding sanctuary cities.

The costs of policies that offer shelter to criminals are borne not just by the citizens of Newark, Cambridge, and other sanctuaries though. According to the investigative arm of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, illegal aliens made up 27 percent of the federal prison population in 2005, totaling 49,000 and costing federal taxpayers $1.2 billion. There were also more than 220,000 illegals in state and local prisons and jails. Now, I am not suggesting that all illegal aliens are violent criminals. They are not. Most are peaceful folks just trying to get by like the rest of us. But we would be far better off if we checked on people as they come into the country rather than find out who the bad ones are after they victimize people here.

We have the right to keep criminal predators out of our home. Those who want to immigrate into America need to knock, identify themselves, and ask permission first. They will not do so though if we can't even ask who they are, which is prevented in sanctuary cities. Now I am a strong federalist, but immigration is a responsibility of the federal government, and the failures of local officials to enforce our national laws have a direct impact on communities around the country. So federal law must be enforced, or our neighborhoods will continue to be the scene of chilling and lurid crimes committed by those who broke the law in the first place to come to America.

Answer 2

Yes they do and no there are not.
