Sanctuary cities shield criminals and gang members while demanding billions in taxpayer money, creating safe havens for violent offenders and drug traffickers. Cutting federal funding to jurisdictions that refuse to enforce immigration law isn't punitive — it's basic accountability. States that side with lawlessness forfeit their right to federal subsidies.
Withholding congressionally approved federal funds from entire states because of disagreements over immigration policy is blatantly unconstitutional and illegal. This authoritarian move would devastate families and crush local economies while violating basic separation of powers. Fighting this lawless overreach in courts and Congress is essential to protecting constitutional rights.
