Yet as the Senate reconvenes today. we are considering none of those vitally important matters. Insteadjust as he did as the shutdown loomed last monththe Republican leader is spending the Senates time on a partisan. ideological bill to placate the radicals within his own party. The senior Senator from Louisiana is the architect of this bill before the Senate. which targets the socalled sanctuary cities. Senator VITTERS legislation fails to match the family values rhetoric he so frequently touts. This vile legislation might as well be called "The Donald Trump Act." Similar to the disgusting and outrageous language championed by Donald Trump. this legislation paints all immigrants as criminals and rapists. At its core. Senator VITTERs bill undermines the ability of local law enforcement officials to police their own communities and ensure public safety. It is then no surprise that the Fraternal Order of Police and Major Cities Chiefs Police Association do not support the Vitter sanctuary cities legislation. and that is an understatement. If implemented. this bill would punish local jurisdictions by withholding Federal community grants that police departments use to enhance public safety and build community trust. Imagine that. holding hostage public safety funding for police as a result of this misguided. farfetched legislation that everyone knows will not pass.
