RESOLUTION - Affirming to the Missouri State Legislature that Kansas City will not become a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants.

 

body

WHEREAS, the City of Kansas City believes that our City resources should not be used to encourage illegal immigration or use City resources to bail out other municipalities, counties, or states who have “sanctuary city” policies; and

 

WHEREAS, the Missouri State Legislature is voting on our state budget next month which includes many Kansas City legislative priorities; and

 

WHEREAS, the state proposed budget provides millions of dollars to Kansas City through specific appropriations and other grants; and

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
