Thompson Proposes Federal Funds Be Withheld From Sanctuary Cities

J.J. Jackson* | November 1, 2007

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - Republican Fred Thompson said Tuesday the government should yank federal dollars from cities and states that don’t report illegal immigrants.

In his first major policy proposal, Thompson challenged presidential rivals Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney by criticizing “sanctuary cities” where city workers are barred from reporting suspected illegal immigrants who enroll their children in school or seek hospital treatment.

Could be a good start. Maybe we could also look at withholding all federal funds from states that violate the Second Amendment rights of their citizens too? Heck, while we’re at it, let’s also look at withholding ALL funds to ALL cities and states that the federal government does not have authority to distribute under the Constitution!
