Please see the following statement from State Senator Rob Ortt (R,C,I – North Tonawanda) regarding the State Senate’s Budget that seeks to prohibit local governments from adopting laws or policies that impede the enforcement of federal homeland security laws.
“New Yorkers are sick and tired of working hard, playing by the rules, and paying taxes only to see local, state, and federal politicians cower to reward illegal immigrants and those breaking our laws. Big cities across this nation are thumbing their noses at our rules, our laws, and our Constitution. It’s time that we take a stand, here in New York, and say ‘no more.’ I understand that liberal special interest groups and the illegals’ community in New York City have a problem with this, but I don’t care. If you’re a city in our state and if you refuse to follow our laws, then you shouldn’t receive funding from state taxpayers. It’s that simple.”
