Twenty thousand additional beds to help us be able to process these illegal border crossers. they dont have to be in place. but that is something that has to happen. None of this is funded. by the way. And so. if I look at the other missing portions of this. the sanctuary cities. the significant number of large cities in America that have an executive order. or their city council has passed an ordinance or other political subdivisions that prohibits their law enforcement officers from cooperating with Federal law enforcement officers with regard to immigration status. So they say you cant even gather information on people whom are in the United States illegally even when you know they are there illegally. even when you know they are gang members. You cant go in there and interdict them and deport them because they want to be a sanctuary city. And yet. when we come across the people that dont sign up. according to the Senate version of the plan. somehow we are going to deport them. without the help and support and cooperation of local law enforcement. who are allowed to draw down billions in Federal dollars. but defy Federal law and prohibit their local law enforcement officers from even cooperating and gathering data so that they can cooperate with the Immigration Customs Enforcement people. with the ICE people. Sanctuary cities are not addressed. They have a sanctuary in this bill to defy Federal law. We must have them in order to do that and in order to make this work.
