Breaking: Cornyn, Alexander Oppose Vote on Sanctuary Cities
conservativereview.com ^ | 7/14/15

Forget about sanctuary cities, the U.S. Senate is becoming a sanctuary for illegal aliens.

It’s not only President Obama who refuses to recognize the murder of Kate Steinle at the hands of illegal aliens – both in public and by privately consoling the family members. According to conservative aides, Republican leaders are opposing a vote on an amendment that would put an end to liberal cities thwarting federal immigration laws, “sanctuary cities.”

"Alexander and Cornyn really pressured conservatives to back off from getting a vote on sanctuary cities amendments,” an aide told Conservative Review. “Alexander didn't want his education bill derailed but John Cornyn, despite his public comments otherwise, is terrified about the prospect of voting on eliminating sanctuary cities and offending his golden goose: Houston."

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has introduced an amendment (no. 2146) to the pending reauthorization of No Child Left Behind, (S.1177) that would cut off all federal law enforcement grants to sanctuary cities and reallocate those funds to states and localities that comply with federal law. Sens. Sessions (R-AL) and Cruz (R-TX) have co-sponsored the amendment and Sen. Vitter (R-LA) has a similar proposal he recently introduced.

Allowing a vote on this urgent national security issue is the least GOP leaders can do after forcing conservatives to debate a liberal education bill for two weeks. Yet, according to Senate sources, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN), the floor manager of the education bill, are pulling out all the stops in order to oppose a vote on sanctuary cities. What’s more appalling, GOP leaders are allowing a vote on leftist Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) non-germane (not relevant to the bill at hand) amendment to grant special rights to homosexual and transgender students and threaten the religious liberty of private citizens.

Both safely reelected last November, they are free to be liberal and to thwart conservatism and common sense.

How could conservatives be so stupid to elect Lamar! and Cornyn, and about 30 other GOP senators? All worthless bums.

Anyone who doesn’t support ending this sanctuary city crap is an enemy.

One needs to ask why they are reauthorizing this garbage known as “No child left behind”?

What did they say about America being a de facto sanctuary country?

Did they mention the felon killer illegal alien in SF who murdered the innocent young lady had entered 5 times across the Federal fun zone?

Cornyn was reelected in 2014, long time before we get another shot.

He had no serious T.E.A. Party challenger.

Part of the GOPe cabal.

I really don’t care about a “vote to end funding for sanctuary cities.” I WANT POLITICIANS, SHERRIFS, MAYORS AND EVERY OTHER LAYER OF WORTHLESS ‘SERVANTS’ TO GO TO JAIL WHEN THEY LET ILLEGAL ALIENS GO FREE!!

Forget that. How about when they allow thousands to enter multiple times, over and over?

The fish rot from the head. Trust me here.

I want a Republican Conservative party. If there were more political parties a, it would bankrupt the oligarchs who already own the present two parties.
