Rule #1: Use enough gun |
http://www.al.com/news/index.s...ml#incart_river_home Sen. Luther Strange wants sanctuary cities to help foot the bill for a wall at the U.S./Mexico border. Strange, R-AL, and Georgia Senator David Perdue introduced the Securing the Border and Protecting Our Communities Act earlier this week. The bill would prohibit some transportation grant funding from going to so-called sanctuary cities that don't cooperate with federal enforcement of immigration laws. In turn, the grant funding would be reallocated towards building a wall at the U.S./Mexico border, a major - and potentially costly - provision of President Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Strange said the act will "restore the rule of law" in sanctuary cities. "The American people spoke out loud and clear last year in support of one of President Trump's most important promises - to finish building the wall on our Southern border," Strange said. "I introduced this bill to make it clear that cities do not get to play games with the safety of their people or ignore clear federal statutes. "They can either follow the law or fund the wall." There are more than 100 sanctuary cities and counties around the country, including major places such as New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The bill would also make provisions for withholding funds from cities that punish businesses bidding to do work on the border wall. Last month, California lawmakers passed measure that prohibits the state from awarding contracts to any company involved in the wall's construction. Similar measures have been introduced or considered in New York, Rhode Island, and San Francisco and the city of Berkley, California adopted a "black list" to cut off any funds to companies or contractors that seeking work to build the border wall. "Penalizing businesses for joining in this critical national security effort is beyond the pale," Strange said. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | ||

Put a 10% tax on all outbound cash wires, just like Mexico does on inbound wires! Include Guatamala Honduras and other high illegels countries. That'll help pay wall some wall. _________________________ | |||
