CONCORD, NH – House Criminal Justice Chairman Terry Roy (R-Deerfield) released the following statement after the House Democrats introduced HB 1570-FN-L and HB 1822-FN, a pair of bills meant to weaken New Hampshire’s Border Security.
“Make no mistake, if you are in this country illegally, you are not welcome in New Hampshire. Today’s bill hearings were nothing short of another Democratic attempt to subvert law and order. It is no mistake that New Hampshire ranks #1 in the country for public safety, thanks to our Anti-Sanctuary policies. These policies ensure that we are not a land of lawless bedlam. If Democrats want open-border nonsense, then I invite them to pack their bags and head for Minnesota.” He concluded, “We are not about to take border security advice from the same people who voted to turn New Hampshire into a sanctuary state last year.”
Background:
On April 10, 2025, 162 House Democrats voted against HB 511, the Anti-Sanctuary Act.
