Trio of immigration bills unveiled by Metcalf to stop 'illegal alien invasion' in PA
Implement a workplace verification system that will ensure only legal residents work in Pennsylvania. Make ‘sanctuary cities’ pay for damages caused by their undocumented residents. Make citizenship checks a prerequisite for public benefits.
Those are nutshell goals of three immigration-related bills introduced in mid March in the PA House of Representatives, which seek to quell what their sponsors repeatedly and unequivocally called an “illegal alien invasion” in the Keystone State.
"This three-pronged attack that we have through this legislation is going to go after [the problems]," he said. "We need to shut off the faucets that are attracting illegals here. Shut off the illegal jobs. Shut off the illegal benefits. And shut off the sanctuary cities... We need to stop them from trying to steal the American dream when so many people are trying to work so hard to achieve it." Later, responding to a question about assimilation from the sole reporter that appeared to attend the Harrisburg press conference, Metcalfe said "I am not interested in assimilating illegal aliens, I'm interested in deporting illegal aliens.

This news is about three weeks old but it is so bad it needs watching. There is a more complete article on NPR that I am attaching that shows there are more than three bills. One seeks to defund any sanctuary campus and keep away State and fed funds. Universities like Penn would be impacted.
