Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman from Virginia for so consistently working on this issue of how we deal with the criminal illegal alien population and also with the sanctuary cities. I thank Mr. HUNTER for the work that he has done on this bill. I chuckled when Congressman KING and the gentleman from Iowa mentioned the second generation of Hunters because. yes. we do know that his father was very involved in this issue and focusing on making certain that we keep our cities safe. As we have this debate and as we look at these sanctuary city policies that certain counties and cities and State have exercised. we have come to realize that through the years. every State has become a border State and every town a border town because of the criminal illegal alien population that will gravitate to these sanctuary cities. Los Angeles was the first sanctuary city in 1979. We hear people say. Oh. this is an issue that has been around for a long time.
