CONGRESSWOMAN HAGEMAN INTRODUCES NO STUDENT VISAS FOR SANCTUARY CITIES ACT

Washington, D.C. - Earlier today Congresswoman Hageman introduced the No Student Visas for Sanctuary Cities Act, an action which will hold sanctuary cities accountable for their violation of federal law and for their aiding of illegal aliens. The bill seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit student visas for educational institutions in sanctuary jurisdictions.

"Leftist proponents of open borders, or no borders at all, have infiltrated many of our states, cities, and counties and caused the so- called leaders within them to completely undermine the rule of law. Instead of protecting their citizens, sanctuary city officials have chosen those here unlawfully - many of them members of international cartels and other transnational criminal organizations - over their constituents." She stated. "Prohibiting student visas is an accountability measure to pressure obstructors of justice to take action in complying with the rules set forth by Congressional representatives of the American people."

Original co-sponsors of the bill include Brandon Gill (TX-26), Paul Gosar, (AZ-9), and Troy Nehls, (TX-22).

This legislation fortifies the President's Executive Orderissued last week holding sanctuary cities liable for obstruction of justice.
