H.R. 3009 passed easily in the lower chamber 241 to 179. James Beattie July 24, 2015 at 6:22pm Share on Facebook29k Tweet260 Email The House passed a bill Thursday which would punish cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration law. H.R. 3009 passed easily in the lower chamber 241 to 179, The Hill reported. The bill would force local law enforcement agencies to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they have an illegal immigrant in custody; otherwise, certain federal law enforcement grants would be withheld. “I think we can all agree that any state or locality must comply with the law— and they are required to coordinate and cooperate with the federal government,” said Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who sponsored the legislation. “If an arrest is made, the federal government should be notified. The fact that San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities disagree with the politics of federal enforcement doesn’t mean they should receive a pass to subvert the law.” “And if they do, there needs to be consequences—and the way we impose those consequences is by hitting them where it hurts. In the pocketbook,” Hunter added. The bill was passed after 32-year-old Kate Steinle was murdered earlier this month, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. multiple times and convicted of several felonies. Poster Comment: Donald isn't even President yet and he is already having a good effect.

What an idiot. Why is there a bill being legislated on already existing federal law for some enforcement loop-hole that Hunter mentions. The nation is corrupt as HELL.

A loophole? The cities are flat-out ignoring the law. Which is their right. But the federal government is saying they will withdraw federal funding. Which is their right.
