Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is “strongly opposed” to any Iowa city declaring itself a “sanctuary” in an effort to shield undocumented immigrants from deportation.

President Trump has outlined a plan that calls for enhanced border security, reducing legal immigration and addressing the status of the so-called “Dreamers”. Reynolds says that is a “great place” for Congress to start its deliberations.

Iowa Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst announced they are co-sponsoring a proposal that would spend 25 billion dollars on border security and provide legal status to one-point-eight MILLION people who have or could have signed up for President Obama’s DACA protections.
