House Passes "No Sanctuary for Criminals Act" (H.R. 3003)
Pres. Trump Renews Call for Passage of Davis-Oliver Act As Well
But He'll Need NumbersUSA and You, William, to Channel the Public's Support to Move Bills Through Congress. Please Help Us Win!
William --
The No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, H.R. 3003, has passed the House. This
bill would block grants from the Department of Homeland Security and
Department of Justice from going to jurisdictions that refuse to comply
with federal immigration detainers.
H.R.
3003 will do a LOT to keep dangerous criminals out of America's cities
and towns and if this passes the Senate, too, Pres. Trump will sign it.
Congress
needs to take the all-important momentum from passing H.R. 3003 and
pass the Davis-Oliver Act as it was marked up in the Judiciary
committee. And the President knows it. On Wednesday, President Trump renewed his call for the passage of the Davis-Oliver Act:
"This
package includes the Davis-Oliver Act, whose passage I called for
nearly a year ago at my inauguration speech and immigration speech...
We're calling on all members of Congress to honor grieving American
families by passing these lifesaving measures in the House, in the
Senate, and then sending them to my desk for a very rapid signature."
Help send these bills to Pres. Trump so he can turn them into law.
" We will end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so
many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate
with Federal
authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work
with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that
do assist Federal authorities... Countless innocent American lives have
been stolen because our politicians have failed in their duty to secure
our borders and enforce our laws... Now is the time for all of
us, as one country, Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative,
to band together to deliver justice and safety and security for all
Americans."
-- Donald Trump, August 31, 2016

NumbersUSA urged Members of Congress to vote yes on the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act. As we stated in our vote scoring, "This bill is an important first step in improving interior immigration enforcement.
We can no longer sacrifice the lives of Americans to sanctuary policies
that protect criminals." But it is just that: a first step.
We continued, "We owe it to the American victims of foreign criminals, terrorists, and gang members to follow this vote with a vote on the entire Davis-Oliver Act, as marked up by House Judiciary Committee."
H.R. 3003 is the first enforcement bill passed by the House since Pres. Trump took office in January. But just two weeks ago, the House also passed the Verify First Act, which will keep illegal aliens from getting taxpayer-funded health-care subsidies.
Keep the ball moving!
If you want to stop illegal immigration, please give to NumbersUSA. We work with other organizations, but we are THE organization that fights immigration battles in Congress. If we go away, millions of Americans lose their ability to have their voice heard in Congress. It's that simple.
Our
army of millions has overwhelmed Congress in opposition to illegal
immigration, defeating amnesty proposals again and again and again. This
year, with a supportive president in the White House for the first
time, we are ready to go on the offensive.
We're getting more and more activists involved with fighting for good laws out of Congress every year... but our donor base hasn't grown as fast as our activist base.
Unlike
most political organizations, we don't spend money paying into
politicians' campaign funds; we spend our funds helping voters raise
their own voices to influence their own elected officials. NumbersUSA
ACTION can't raise money from foundations or billionaires; our funds
come from the people who use our tools. Like you.
We're committed to keeping our tools free to use, so the most people possible can use them. But that doesn't mean they aren't costly for us to provide to you.
We're
a true grassroots organization, and we need YOUR generosity to keep
winning. Not Michael Bloomberg's. Not Mark Zuckerberg's. Not George
Soros's. They're not on our side, to say the least. We need YOUR help.
Please give, today.
You can donate four ways:
4) Call (703) 816-8820 to arrange a wire transfer, stock donation, or to make a credit card donation over the phone. If our office is closed, please leave the time and your phone number and we will call back.
Join us in making 2017 the year of results,
Jim Robb
VP Operations
