South Florida Congressman Backs the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act

This week, U.S. Rep. Nick LaLota, R-NY, introduced a bill “which would prevent federal funds from being used to bailout sanctuary cities, such as New York, for the migrant crisis they helped create” with the support of a South Florida congressman.

U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez, R-Fla., is one of eight Republican co-sponsors of LaLota’s “No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act..” Giménez and U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, are the only co-sponsors from other states besides New York.

“However illogical, New York Democrats are free to keep their failed sanctuary city policies which are helping to cause New York City’s migrant crisis and the $12 billion Mayor Adams says it will cost,” said LaLota. “But these officials, who can repeal those costly policies any day, cannot expect other states’ taxpayers to fund their indiscretion while their policies remain in place.”

“Sanctuary cities, like New York, make the Biden-Mayorkas border disaster worse by enabling the reckless crisis,” said Giménez. “I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing the No Bailouts for Sanctuary Cities Act to ensure no taxpayer money is misspent by bailing out sanctuary cities for their own failed policies.”

The bill was sent to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. So far, there is no companion measure over in the U.S. Senate. With Democrats in charge of the upper chamber, the bill is not expected to garner much momentum in the Senate.
