Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) will again introduce legislation targeting sanctuary cities, Breitbart News has learned.
Hunters bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to restrict funding to any state or locality that has in place a law, policy or procedure in contravention of federal immigration law, preventing state or local law enforcement officials from gathering information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.
The legislation would make those cities with sanctuary policies or laws in place ineligible for State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) funding. SCAAP reimburses states and localities for the cost of holding illegal immigrants convicted of crimes.
States and cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration laws directly undermine enforcement efforts and as recent events have shown present a real danger to citizens, Hunter said in a statement to Breitbart News.
If a state or one of its cities wants to call itself a sanctuary and deliberately ignore the law, then Congress shouldnt hesitate to withhold federal funding until theres compliance, he continued. One program that most certainly should cease reimbursement is SCAAP, which is intended to mitigate the costs of incarceration, and extend to salaries and overtime. And we should look to other programs too, but there should be wide support for a response, such as this proposal, that exercises a constitutional prerogative of Congress in order to uphold the law.
The bill is still being drafted and could target additional funding once finalized. Hunter expected to officially introduce it Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hunters legislation comes on the heels of the shooting death of Kathryn Steinle by a five-time deported, seven-time convicted felon at a San Francisco pier.

TELL CONGRESS: NO FEDERAL MONIES FOR SANCTUARY CITIES.
A muni-bond expert recently exposed city bond financing schemes as a house of cards (Chicago). Examining city bond documents uncovered taxpayers were royally rooked---and were paying billions for:
<><> greedy politicians' shady financial legerdemain,
<><> including using long-term financing to cover day-to-day expenses,
<><> using bonds to pay pension obligations, and,
<><> misappropriating returns from the interest rate swap portfolio as a free-for-all ATM for pols.
Bonding is eternal taxation. Insider deals bonding companies made w/ shady pols to get sanctuary city bonding business would tell a tale of greedy pols accumulating riches through massive govt corruption.
If these sanctuary city bonding deals were effectuated by way of referendum at the ballot box----and misled investors into buying tax-fee muni bonds----the SEC would be interested.
EMAIL enforcement@sec.gov
Tax-exempt municipal bond investors (including public education bond investors)-- have legal grounds to sue if they were deceived about deceptive bond offerings.
In many cases, bond issues are approved by voters---at the ballot box--so that voters may have also been misled WRT uses of fraudulent bond offerings.
Also culpable are:
<><> bonding companies underwriting possible fraudulent sanctuary city bond issues;
<><> banks holding possibly fraudulent sanctuary city bond proceeds;
<><> State/city's modus operandi in allocating tax-exempt bond proceeds,
<><> third parties accepting fraudulent sanctuary city bond proceeds.
<><> sanctuary city vendors accepting fraudulent bond proceeds.
<><> publicly-funded sanctuary city agencies advocating the uses of fraudulent bond proceeds.
===========================================
The SEC, FBI, banking overight agencies, and the IRS, would be interested in the activities of sanctuary city entities WRT bonding.

EMAIL--enforcement@SEC.gov
Contact the IRS Fraud Unit
EMAIL Banking oversight agencies
============================================
Taxpayers should find out which sanctuary city banks are facilitating this.
<><> Which banks are designated the repositories of sanctuary city tax dollars.
<><> Which banks are dispensing sanctuary city tax-exempt bond proceeds.

Woohoo! More ‘laws’ that won’t be enforced!
That’ll teach ‘em GOP(e); maybe a sternly worded resolution or *gasp* a slap on the wrist....
Wake me when the cuffs come out, else it’s all theatre.
At least the immigration part of your post IS an authorized action of the Fed. govt. I haven’t seen an Amendment passed re: drugs, nor seen any authority for ~99% of the current Fedzilla.
NIMBY’s and fascists know no party it seems.
It goes BOTH ways Exec <= Congress => Cities
And, we’ve seen, far too often recently, that Congress will not and cares not (ala ‘Executive amnesty’). Even with 90% of the power in D.C. the GOP/RNC refuses to do anything that’s NOT against We the People.
Easy solution: ALL sanctuary cities lose ALL of their federal funds immediately & permanently.
The high cost of cheap labor by the (R’s), and votes by the (D’s).
