GOP Senator Proposes Transferring Sanctuary Cities' Federal Funds to Border Wall Budget
The Daily Signal ^ | June 29, 2017 | Rachel del Guidice

One Republican senator is proposing a new solution for sanctuary cities that do not follow U.S. immigration law: Take some of their federal funding and transfer it to a budget for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.

“How many innocent American lives must be lost before security becomes the first priority of immigration?” Sen. Luther Strange, R-Ala., asked the audience at an event Thursday at The Heritage Foundation.

“How many criminal aliens have to be released shy of justice being served for the rule of law to be affirmed as the first priority of a functioning society?”

Strange’s legislation, introduced in May, would keep federal funds from being given to areas with sanctuary cities that fail to comply with the Justice Department in following immigration law, or that punish small businesses for submitting bids in the construction process for the border wall promised by Trump.

This will convince many more to vote Republican. Good to see R’s propose winning ideas.

He is Jeff Sessions replacement. I will definitely vote for him in our primary. What a great idea.

Looks as thought Alabama got the best of the deal. Sessions is MIA as AG. Trump needs to send him down the road. His get up and go has done gone and went.

Strange is getting desperate. He is the establishment candidate, and has gotten lots of funding from the RINOs, but he is still pulling third in the Republican primary. At this point, I wouldn’t believe anything “conservative” that Strange says.

Number 1 is judge Roy Moore, who leads the field with a 9 point advantage. More:

You don’t know Sessions. He just doesn’t make a lot of noise. Any one who could take the Klan down in Alabama is a man you want on your side. Don’t count him out.

“You don’t know Sessions. He just doesn’t make a lot of noise.”

Well, the “noise” he’s made so far isn’t what I want to hear. This business of his recusing himself is widely described as a stupid, unnecessary act that has put this a$$hole Rosenstein in charge and he’s a RAT. Also, maybe Sessions was effective when he way younger, but now, not so much. He needs to show the citizens of this country that he’s alive and doing stuff. Just shutting down some of the DOJ’s leftover litigation against good people should have been done already.
