January 1, Senator Proposes State Penalties for Military Deployments
Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee has a new idea that says states must pay back the government if the U.S. military helps due to a state not following immigration rules.
Senator Blackburn made this new rule because there was a lot of trouble in California last month. There were riots because of actions taken by ICE, the agency that handles immigration enforcement. President Trump had to send the National Guard and Marines to keep things calm and protect important places in Los Angeles.
Senator Blackburn said that when states like California don’t follow the rules about immigration, hardworking American people in other states end up paying for it. She thinks this is not fair. If a state doesn’t do its job and the federal government has to step in to fix things, then that state should pay for everything the military had to do.
Her bill is called the “State Accountability for Federal Deployment Costs Act.” It’s about sending a strong message that it’s not okay to ignore federal immigration law.
There’s also a similar bill in the House of Representatives thanks to Republican Rep. Jody Arrington from Texas. He’s also the chair of the House Budget Committee. Rep. Arrington added that when states make policies that make it hard for immigration officers to do their job, it can make communities less safe and use up resources. He says this is breaking the rules, and it’s not okay for places like Texas and Tennessee to pay for what California does wrong.
The bill explains that when states don’t work with federal immigration officers, it can cause big problems, like creating a mess that the military has to clean up.
If such situations happen, the bill says that the states causing the problem have to pay back money spent on the troops sent there. This is only after authorities have decided that the state’s actions led to the trouble.
And if a state doesn’t pay back the money within 180 days after being asked by the Department of Defense, then the president can stop giving them certain kinds of money from the government.
Recently, sending 4,000 soldiers from the National Guard and 700 Marines to Los Angeles cost the government $130 million. They stayed there for more than a month, and now some of the troops are coming back home.
Wyatt Matters!
Sometimes, states make choices that don’t follow the rules about immigration, and that can cause problems. If the U.S. military has to step in to help, all taxpayers end up paying for it. Some people think that isn’t fair. When states cause these problems, they should pay back the money spent on the military helpers. Senator Marsha Blackburn thinks this will make states take the rules more seriously.
When states don’t work with the federal government on immigration, it can make it tough for those trying to keep our communities safe. Imagine if doing your job meant always cleaning up someone else’s mess. That’s how many people feel when states go their own way and ignore rules. They end up creating more work for immigration officers, and sometimes, the military has to help out too. This bill says, “Hey, if you make a mess, you should help clean it up!”
If a state needs military help because it didn’t follow the rules, it should pay the costs back. This idea makes states think twice before skipping important rules. Maybe it seems tough, but it sends a message: We all have to follow the same rules if we are going to keep everyone safe and be fair with money. It’s like in class when someone doesn’t listen, and everyone has to stay in from recess. That’s not fun, so it’s better when everyone follows the rules from the start.

Spot on Sen Blackburn she is my rep here in TN.She is for the people just look at the programs she has implemented here. The bill sounds reasonable and if the State is a fault let the people of that state pay for their leaders mishandling Fed law.

I lived in CA in 1966-68 and realized how crazy they were to allow all these illegals to cross the border and then stay and get on welfare. My neighbor was a prime example she crossed had her baby in US, got on welfare then brought her other 8 children over plus her husband who was a criminal. After he beat her several times and I called the police she finally assisted police in catching him. I decided I didn’t want to live in such a stupid state.

California and other states should step up to the plate and do what is right. Illegal means Not Legal. Legal means are already established to gain entrance to the USA. They need to read and adhere to these. The same goes for California’s “Green” protective directives, as evidenced by the state’s recent plight and the devastating consequences, partially due to these directives.

I live in Illinois, we have the best politicians money can buy. Current governor putzger purchased his govenors seat from Mike Madigan. The citizens of the state of Illinois don’t have the vote, we have auctions. We are already paying through the nose for these organized crime figures from California screwing up everything they can touch. I don’t think we should get stuck with more. I pray for Mr. Trump to send troops. The entire democratic party should be arrested and charged with treason.

Sounds good to me. Grewsom has done everything he can to sue Trump Vance for deporting illegals especially criminals and terrorists. The foreign student on visas are getting $200 a day to protest against Christians colleges and pro life students. Soros donations go to Pro abortion clinics and organizations. The are in our universities and colleges.

They should put Governors and Mayors who don’t comply with federal laws in prison and relieved from their positions.
These people want to make up their own rules of law and if they don’t follow federal laws put them in prison. Period
How much of California has to be destroyed by Newsom and Bass before they get removed from power. These two assholes
has cost our state Billions and Billions of taxpayers money because of their incompetence and inability to protect it’s citizens.

Newsome and Bass ARE NOT incompetent! They and their ilk are very competent in enforcing ungodly rules on their constituents, such as paying for any and all monies paid out to “illegals”, knowing that the Federal Government does not have the backbone to call them to task. It is long past time that more politicians follow suit like Rep. Jody Arrington (Texas) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee)!! I have for a very long time advocated that Republicans need to be more assertive in challenging Democrat’s corrupted actions!!

At least someone finally said it. Good observation *SUE * about that ….”put Governors and Mayors who don’t comply with federal laws in prison and relieved from their positions.” I’ve been scratching my head since the days of Governor Gray Davis and Arnold Schwartzaneggar about ‘why’ these politicians are not being confronted with accountability and consequences for their refusal to assist and run interference with federal, criminal law. How are they being protected? There are lieutenant Governors and interim Mayors to take the seats upon ‘indictment’ or (deservedly), ‘arrest.’

Fear enough. Thank you for your great idea, Senator Marsha Blackburn!
Hope and pray your idea becomes a law, so each state is saved & protected from gangs of illegal immigrants. I came here in 1968. I applied and wait for my permission to enter the US. When I came in, I had all kind of vaccines which helped not only me, but all people surrounding me of any sickness. It’s common and natural all GOOD governments try to protect their people.🙏🏽👍❤️🌹🙏🏽

What great bills. Hope they both pass and don’t die in the house!!
Something needs to be done to get those low life politicians who are running it into the ground to stand up and pay attention.
Nothing speaks like taking their money away.
Praying Steve Hilton will get voted in as the next Governor, if it is possible for California to have an uncorrupt election.
