New York Republican introduces bill to bar migrant-related funding to sanctuary cities as border crisis rages
Fox News
Rep. Nick Lalota, R-N.Y., is leading the charge on legislation that would block federal funding related to caring for migrants from going to "sanctuary cities."
Specifically, it would block funding for "the provision of food, shelter, healthcare services, legal services, and transportation" of those in the country illegally. Notably, it would include blocking funding to New York City, which has been hit with an influx of over 110,000 migrants since last year, and with which Democrat officials have called for more help from the government and warned it could cost $12 billion by 2025.
