So a guy steals a car. and three people in the neighborhood know who stole it. They go up. If they think that that police officer is also enforcing immigration policy. they are not going to talk to him. That is just a fact of life. So you may think you are doing a great thing. but you are actually hurting law enforcement in the job that it has to do. What we need to do is have an immigration policy that speaks about all the issues that are covered by immigration policy. Secondly. we hear from the other side about local control. local control. local control. Well. some cities have decided that they are sanctuary cities. that they are going to deal with the immigration issue differently than other people deal in other placesless mean. less aggressive and being nasty. more understanding of a problem rather than just saying that people come here to rip us off. We have to keep all those things in mind as we look at this amendment. and this amendment should be defeated. Lastly. your amendment talks about cutting funds. and the gentlewoman talked about cutting funds. To our knowledge. there is nothing in here that funds anything having to do with sanctuary cities or. for that matter. having to do with immigration. So wrong bill. wrong place. wrong time. wrong idea. Mr.
