And for those who want to stay in the shadows. they should not get sanctuary by a city policy that is in contravention to existing Federal law. I believe those policies violate existing Federal law and in doing so protect criminals. Lets uphold the rule of law. Lets do what is the right thing and the fair thing. and lets support this amendment. which. again. very simplyvery simplyrequires cities and communities to comply with what has been Federal law since 1996. Lets tell the public that this bill is about respecting the law at every phase. I hope my colleagues will support my amendment to get rid of this concept of sanctuary cities.
