“States that don’t comply with federal immigration laws don’t just endanger their own citizens, they put the whole country at risk. My bill ensures that these states don’t receive another dime of federal transportation funding until they cooperate with federal immigration authorities,” said Senator Cotton.

Text of the bill can be found here.

The Enforce Immigration or Lose Transportation Act would:

• Allow the Secretary of Transportation to withhold funding from states that do not comply with federal immigration law.
• Empower the Department of Transportation to audit state practices and issue regulations to ensure compliance with the federal transportation and immigration law.
