Dave Reichert: Voted against bill blocking funds to "sanctuary cities"

Immigration was one area where he disagreed with other members of his party. In July 2015, he was one of five Republicans to vote against a "sanctuary city" measure that would prohibit federal grants from going to states or cities that have policies that block police and sheriffs from gathering information about a person's citizenship or immigration status, or from giving such information to federal immigration authorities.

Semi Bird: Secure all borders against human and narco-trafficking

Q: IMMIGRATION: The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

A: Strongly Agree. We have a huge Northern border problem with human and narco-trafficking, and a port border that non one talks about. I have proposed solutions with action to address the out of control fentanyl epidemic, as well as, human trafficking perpetrated by the cartels.
