Shelby opposes illegals at Maxwell-Gunter AFB

Shelby Responds to Reports That Illegal Immigrants Could Be Housed at Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base

U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Alabama) today released a statement in response to an announcement that unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors could potentially be housed at Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery:

“This Administration has once again ignored what is in the best interest of the American people.

The decision to assess the possibility of housing illegal immigrants at Department of Defense facilities, like Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base, will only exacerbate our illegal immigration problem by not enforcing the laws on the books.

“Taxpayer dollars intended for military facilities should be used for those men and women working to keep our nation safe – not to house illegal immigrants.

Instead of searching for housing, the federal government should be expeditiously and humanely sending these individuals back home.

“President Obama’s disregard for the rule of law and his attempt to push executive amnesty has led us to where we are today."

Concluded Senator Shelby, "I remain steadfast in my opposition to illegal immigration, and I will fight against allowing those who break our laws to be housed at Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base.”
