Positive development: A strike against Sanctuary Nation
By Michelle Malkin-6/15/07

There was a glimmer of hope on the shamnesty landscape today in the House. Stalwart immigration enforcement proponent Tom Tancredo won approval--by a significant margin--of his amendment banning DHS funds for renegade sanctuary cities. From Rep. Tancredo's website:

U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo’s (R-CO) amendment to cut funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Bill (H.R. 2638) for cities that employ a sanctuary policy passed the House with strong bipartisan support today; 234 to 189.
“The times, they are a changing,” said an exuberant Tancredo, who had introduced the same amendment several times in the past with far less support. “This should also serve as a warning sign to the White House and supporters of re-introducing an amnesty bill from the Senate. If that legislation makes it to the House, it is in serious trouble.”

The Amendment would prevent cities like Denver and San Francisco who employ a sanctuary policy for illegal aliens from receiving first responder funds, including law enforcement and terrorism prevention grants, among other programs.

It's a step in the right direction. The Democrat support for the bill--234-189, with no fewer than 49 Democrats voting in favor--is a good sign. Is it a sign of things to come as the second Senate showdown looms next week?

We'll see.

In the meantime, sanctuary cities are on notice: Defy immigration law, risk your homeland security funding.
