—Congressman Lou Barletta on mayors of sanctuary cites not having the right to disregard federal law when it comes to illegal aliens

Congressman Lou Barletta (R-PA) spoke with Kilmeade & Friends fill in host Mary Walter about the bill he introduced last week, “Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act, H.R. 83” which would stop any federal funding for sanctuary cities. Rep Barletta is hopeful Congress will get behind the bill and send it to President-elect Trump’s desk. Barletta says in order to put pressure on politicians who violate federal law, his bill would require the Attorney General to publish a yearly list of sanctuary cities and those who are on the list will be barred from federal funding until they stop violating federal laws.
