The Republican Senators suggest that it is time for sanctuary cities to hosting ice

The Republican senators told Fox News Digital that they were fed up with cities of the liberal sanctuary like Los Angeles trying to prevent the federal immigration authorities from enforcing the law, some suggesting that it is time for the legislative branch to intervene to withdraw their funding.

“We have to say:” quite fairly “, said senator Katie Britt, R-Ala. “I do not understand why we will continue to give federal dollars to someone who does not respect federal law. I mean, think about it. It is very simple.”

Addressing Fox News Digital in the construction rooms of the Senate, Britt said: “There has been no more cinematographic problem in the past four years than the millions and millions of illegal migrants that are going through our border.”

“What a sanctuary city says is:” You can commit a crime, we will authorize anarchy and we will not give you to the federal authorities. “I mean, think about it.

“We have allowed this kind of bad behavior for too long,” said senator Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. “Listen, the reality is to use the term for my colleagues,” no one is above the law. “So, if you have a mayor or a county leader or a governor, the one you mean, it does not follow federal law, it is completely unacceptable.

“I called it in my campaign, and I think all the Republicans, we should remain firm on this,” he added.

Meanwhile, Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla., He simply told Fox News Digital that sanctuar cities blocking immigration “should not” receive federal funding.

“I mean, first of all, if you are a sanctuary city, you don’t do the right thing for your citizens. You don’t keep them safe,” said Scott. “I think we are all really frustrated because we do not have an immigration system that works. There are people who want to come to our country legally and work in our country and go home. This is what we need to focus, how to improve this, but make sure that if you are not verified, you should not be able to come to this country.”

On the other side of the aisle, senator Tim Kaine, D-VA., Told Fox News Digital that the officials of the city of Sanctuary do not cooperate with the ice and federal authorities “is not a problem in Virginia, because … I am not aware of a sanctuary city in Virginia”.

Senator Angus King, I-Maine, answered Fox News Digital saying: “I have no comments on this subject, I am currently focusing on what is happening in the Middle East.”

Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La., Said: “I think everyone should follow the law” or “accept the consequences”.

“I cannot tell you that I legally know what are the consequences that a community deliberately disobeys something from the federal government. But whatever these consequences, if a community makes this decision, then it must bear the consequences,” added Cassidy.

Senator Roger Marshall, R-Tenn., Said that sanctuary policies “had led in many ways to these riots, that the Los Angeles police were not willing to help when our ice agents were in difficulty.”

“What we cannot tolerate is that local officials prevent ice officers from doing their work, and that’s exactly what is happening in some of these sanctuary cities,” said Marshall. “So, if that means the power of the bag, then too bad. But whatever we do, President Trump has taken an oath, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution to ensure all of us.”
