House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) delivered a floor speech advocating for H.R. 5717, the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act, which subsequently passed the House.

“Sanctuary cities are part of the perverse incentives that are drawing illegal immigrants into this country. In fact, their mere existence is illegal under U.S. law,” said Chairman Arrington. “Rogue local officials who promote these policies and flout the rule of law, are themselves, acting as criminals. They are a disgrace to our great country, and they should be impeached or prosecuted.”
