Alaska

Anchorage        (6/13/07 Congressional Research Service)
* (The city of Fairbanks is under review for removal from the Sanctuary Cities list due to the city council's passage of a resolution supporting a formal recognition of its cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.  The city of Fairbanks had previously been listed due its designation as a sanctuary city by the Congressional Research Service. The city has disputed its listing.  The City's resolution and a final decision will be posted soon. Fairbanks will likely be removed from the list and then its enforcement statistics will be monitored for compliance.  OJJPAC thanks the City of Fairbanks for taking positive steps to clarify its compliance with federal law.

I know some people in Deltona, FL who are complaining about the school budgets being slashed...not paying for subs to come in any more, asking parents to VOLUNTEER to sub, etc.  Wonder how much of that can be blamed on the added burden of illegal immigrants?

I think federal funds for any type of law enforcement should be cut to zero for all of those cities, but it will never happen. Instead, they'll get even more rewards under 0Bama.

I am pleased to see that Missouri has ZERO "Sanctuary Cities" (which is moonbat-speak for "come on up and hang up your hat, illegals. We'll take good care of you, all courtesy of the [enter name of Sanctuary City here] taxpayers. No need to get a job, (and if you do, just go ahead and send the money home - don't worry about spending it here), no need to pay taxes. Just belly up to the bar and collect your welfare, 'cause we got more money that's just fresh off the printing presses and WE KNOW HOW TO SPEND IT!!!!").  [/moonbat welcome]

Sorry. Went on a bit of a tangent there.

And none in NH, although we had a moonbat legislator who wanted to make the entire STATE a sanctuary, and ended up quitting because she got laughed out of the place.
