Republicans Continue Push Against Lawless Immigration Policies 

House Deputy Majority Floor Leader Juliet Harvey-Bolia (R-Tilton) released the following statement regarding HB71, the “schools not shelters bill,” an act relative to cooperation with federal immigration authorities:

“HB71 represents a significant step toward strengthening our immigration policies. This bill ensures public schools and public systems cannot shield illegal immigrants and protects students from being subjected to the Democrats’ politically motivated agenda. House Republicans remain committed to common-sense solutions that preserve the primary purpose of our schools—education,” said Harvey-Bolia.

“Our schools should function as places of learning, not as tools to enforce radical open-border and sanctuary city policies,” Harvey-Bolia continued. “Republican initiatives like HB71 and HB511-FN send a clear message: we will not allow these lawless and dangerous policies to undermine our communities and institutions.”
