The House late Wednesday voted to block federal transportation and housing funding from cities and states that choose not to cooperate with federal officials on immigration.

Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., brought up his language as an amendment to a minibus spending bill and proposed attaching it to part of the bill that deals with transportation and housing funding. It was the latest Republican attack on so-called sanctuary cities, which reject federal demands to cooperate when it comes to detaining and tracking illegal immigrants.

"It just requires that funds in Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funds only go to cities and states that uphold federal law," Smith said in late Wednesday debate.

According to a summary of his proposal, it would prevent any funds from being directed to any local government that blocks "any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual."

I assume this measure will now go to the Senate where funds will be fully restored, if not doubled, and a vote of censure of the House will be adopted.

Not a word anywhere about this that I saw???

Yes - the maverick from AZ and his ventriloquist dummy from SC will be right on it.
