Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Jerry Knowles wants to put a stop to the sanctuary campus movement in his state.
He circulated a co-sponsorship memo in December in an effort to find like-minded lawmakers to help push a bill that would cut off state funding to any institution of higher education that sets itself up as a “sanctuary campus” to protect illegal immigrants.
Knowles’ memo followed by only a few days the news that two Pennsylvania schools — Swarthmore College and the University of Pennsylvania — had pledged to refuse to allow federal authorities on campus without a warrant. They directed their campus law enforcement not to communicate, coordinate or cooperate with federal authorities regarding undocumented individuals on campus and refuse to share information about undocumented students with federal agencies unless presented with some form of legal process.
In other words, Swarthmore and Penn administrators are setting their schools up as sanctuary campuses.
That is an attitude that Knowles finds abhorrent.
“By declaring themselves ‘Sanctuary Campuses,’ these institutions of higher learning are blatantly disregarding federal law, thumbing their noses at the taxpayers of Pennsylvania,” Knowles said. “Turning a blind eye to the issue of illegal immigrants on campuses for the sake of making some kind of political statement on this nation’s immigration policy is unconscionable.”

Simple solution. Charge whoever signed the directive which adding and abetting a felony.
Lock them up, preferably in the same cell as Hilary.
Does the State of Pennsylvania provide any significant funding to Swathmore or the U of P?
Time to start diverting a lot of this funding for “higher education” to vocational instruction. I say this as someone with multiple degrees...they’re just handing them out now to people who know nothing about reality being taught by people who know nothing about reality...time for taxpayers to stop funding something that is of declining value. Witness the recent article posted from a law school professor arguing the Electoral College was unconstitutional even though the constitution mandates it, using extraordinarily asinine arguments - and he’s TEACHING students about law.
