From
MN Majority to SD45-B residents:
On March 13th, your state legislator, Rep. Lyndon R. Carlson
(and Rep. Sandra Peterson - ed.), helped
defeat a motion that would have allowed an up-or-down vote on HF 3010,
a bill prohibiting sanctuary cities from harboring illegal aliens.
Cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul have sanctuary policies that
prevent police officers from inquiring about immigration status or
enforcing immigration laws. These policies are allowing illegal aliens
to openly enjoy the benefits of citizenship without the fear of
deportation.
Legislators who support sanctuary cities are trying to stall HF 3010,
hoping to simply allow the bill to die in committee. The recent vote
was an attempt to pull HF 3010 from committee to the House floor for an
up-or-down vote. But Rep. Lyndon R. Carlson helped to defeat this
motion.
Sanctuary policies cause a host of financial, legal and criminal
problems that negatively affect the quality of life for legitimate
Minnesota citizens. The recent bus crash in Cottonwood is a tragic
reminder of this fact and should have been a wake-up call to our state
legislators to get tough on illegal immigration. But some legislators
like Rep. Lyndon R. Carlson don't seem to be getting the message.
