We set up local control. Some would say: Well. wait a minute. If you are trying to punish a sanctuary city like the District of Columbia. the only real Federal city in the country. the only real city under congressional. constitutional control. why dont you just leave it to the locals? We did. and the local officials allowed it to become a sanctuary city that was not enforcing the law. So the bill that was passed today wasnt near as tough as I felt like it should have been. It wasnt near as tough of a bill as the King amendment had been that we had previously passed with plenty of votes.
