Dan Patrick on Bill to Punish Sanctuary Cities: We’re Not Messing Around with This Issue in Texas

‘These are Department of Homeland security facts, from June of 2011 until the end of last month we booked into our Texas jails over 212,000 criminal aliens’

EXCERPT:

PATRICK: "Well if she ignores the law and puts our citizens at risk, she faces criminal penalties. And she can be sued by victims of crime and we will take away her funding. We're not going to mess around with this issue, Bill. When I gave you that statistics -- again, think about this, in five years criminal aliens and of those about 66 percent were here illegally, those people have committed over half a million crimes, Bill. We don’t have time to have non — put up with the nonsense of some political sheriff who doesn’t want to follow the law because of her leftist ideology. We're not going to put up with it."
