House Passes H.R. 5717: No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act with Bipartisan Support
Sep 20, 2024, 05:00 PM
The House of Representatives passed H.R. 5717, the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act, a bill aimed at preventing federal funding from going to sanctuary cities. This legislation, supported by House Republicans, seeks to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to support services for illegal immigrants in these cities. The bill's proponents argue that sanctuary city policies exacerbate the border crisis and place an undue financial burden on American taxpayers. The bill received some bipartisan support, with 12 House Democrats voting in favor. Key supporters include Representatives LaLota, Luttrell, and Jerry Carl, who emphasized the need to prioritize American citizens over illegal immigrants.
