Rep. Gosar Cracks Down on Sanctuary Cities, Illegal Immigrant Releases

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after announcing original cosponsorship of three bills, H.R. 3009, H.R. 3011 and H.R. 2942, respectively aimed at terminating sanctuary cities, establishing mandatory jail time for illegal aliens that reenter the country and preventing illegal immigrants charged with crimes from being released into the public:

"The recent murders of innocent American citizens by illegal immigrants are a direct result of the Obama Administration's failure to uphold our immigration laws. The silence from supporters of dangerous "sanctuary city" policies is deafening as they continue to ignore the fatal consequences of incentivizing increased lawlessness.

"The actions of this administration have violated the first and foremost role of the federal government, to defend our homeland and protect our citizens. President Obama and Secretary Johnson have blood on their hands. How many innocent lives have to be lost before this administration understands the dangers associated with their failed policies? I have pledged my full support to overturning President Obama's disastrous executive amnesty orders and stand with my fellow colleagues Congressmen Matt Salmon (AZ-05) and Duncan Hunter (CA-50) in demanding legislation that will save American lives and enforce the rule of law."
