HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania House Republicans Wednesday held a press conference to highlight legislation members have introduced to combat illegal immigration in Pennsylvania in the wake of the Biden administration’s continued failure to secure the southern border.
“Every time you create a sanctuary city or county, you are literally moving the national border to your own neighborhood. And when the government picks and chooses which laws are important, they invite the people that live under their watch to do the same. This must stop,” said Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster).
“Thankfully, we have a strong group of House Republicans who have introduced legislation to combat illegal immigration in Pennsylvania. From outlawing sanctuary cities and counties to being stronger against the kind of crime and violence we have seen in other cities stemming from illegal immigration, Pennsylvania’s House Republicans are here to take action where the federal government – the Biden administration in particular – has failed.”
Rep. Martina White (R-Philadelphia) has introduced legislation to require $1 million minimum bail for assaulting a law enforcement officer, which was proposed in response to the attack on New York Police Department officers by a gang of illegal immigrants earlier this year. She noted the importance of stopping illegal immigration to curb the ongoing epidemic of crime and violence.
