H/T Michelle Malkin
Tom Tancredo, with fairly good support, gets his amendment passed to cut funding for “Sanctuary” cities. Seems to be a great move for getting these cities back in line with public sentiment. Denver and San Francisco, both considered to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants would not receive funding for first responder programs, law enforcement or terror prevention grants.
Seems that some sanity is coming back to our law makers. I just wish Mr. Bush would start listening. As Michelle says, too bad the White House isn’t sending this threat.
A strike against Sanctuary Nation
By Michelle Malkin ยท June 15, 2007 07:48 PM
There was a glimmer of hope on the shamnesty landscape today in the House. Stalwart immigration enforcement proponent Tom Tancredo won approval–by a significant margin–of his amendment banning DHS funds for renegade sanctuary cities.

I came across your blog through a technorati search and I was wondering if you’d be interested in a link exchange with Immigration Orange. I’m always looking for different perspectives to interact with and value all viewpoints. Email me at kyledeb at gmail dot com if you’re interested.
Enlightened discussion is always welcomed. But, if I get slammed by opposing views that are biased rantings and emotional diatribe, I won’t be happy.
Far fricking out. This is good news. And yes, if only our dear president would listen. Sigh. I love the man but this issue he is more than wrong about.

Tom Tancredo scores big against sanctuary cities
The bold congressman has passed his most successful bill in the past few years (Hat tip: Day In Day Out and Hot Air). It denies emergency funds to sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants.
