The Michigan House voted Tuesday to keep local governments from receiving state funding earmarks if they don’t fully comply with immigration enforcement.
The Republican-backed resolution would also require local governments to provide the House with details about their immigration enforcement policies for any spending bills that provide them with special funding to come to a vote.
House Speaker Matt Hall (R-Richland Twp) said it’s about keeping areas from becoming an immigration enforcement “sanctuary.”
“What I'm trying to do here is make sure that these jurisdictions that are considering these policies understand if you become a sanctuary jurisdiction, you're not going to get pork projects,” Hall said in a floor speech Tuesday defending the resolution.
