Speech #1140056135

I refuse to simply stand by and reward jurisdictions around the country with Federal funding. with taxpayer funds. when they are in clear violation of the law and are actively making our communities more dangerous rather than safer. I have offered similar versions of this legislation many times in the past. We cannot wait any longer to tackle this problem headon. While President Obama continues to let the world know he will not be enforcing the current immigration laws or taking action against these jurisdictions. we here in Congress have an absolute duty to act otherwise. I believe this legislation will absolutely benefit all Americans by keeping us safe here at home. I strongly urge all of our colleagues to support it in votes tomorrow on the Senate floor.
