Conservative Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming is introducing a new piece of legislation aimed at keeping student visas out of so-called sanctuary cities.
Hageman defeated former Rep. Liz Cheney two years ago in what may be the biggest upgrade in Wyoming history.
This bill will be greeted with hostility by Democrats, who have made it clear that they care more about illegals than American citizens, but every Republican in Congress should embrace it.

Exclusive–Rep. Hageman Introduces ‘No Student Visas for Sanctuary Cities Act’
A new bill aimed at holding sanctuary cities “accountable” has been introduced by Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), with Breitbart News obtaining exclusive access to the proposed legislation as well as the congresswoman’s letter to President Donald Trump pledging to help him stop Democrat-controlled jurisdictions from harboring illegal migrants.
The “No Student Visas for Sanctuary Cities Act,” introduced Wednesday, would “hold sanctuary cities accountable for their violation of federal law and for their aiding of illegal aliens” by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit student visas being granted for institutions in such jurisdictions, Hageman’s office told Breitbart News.
“Leftist proponents of open borders, or no borders at all, have infiltrated many of our states, cities, and counties and caused the so-called leaders within them to completely undermine the rule of law,” the congresswoman explained. “Instead of protecting their citizens, sanctuary city officials have chosen those here unlawfully — many of them members of international cartels and other transnational criminal organizations –- over their constituents.”
Hageman, who has represented Wyoming’s at-large congressional district after beating former Rep. Liz Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary, went on to explain that “Prohibiting student visas is an accountability measure to pressure obstructors of justice to take action in complying with the rules set forth by Congressional representatives of the American people.”
The Trump administration has already revoked thousands of student visas and more of that is coming. Hageman is addressing the issue from the other side by suggesting that we should issue less student visas, especially to schools in cities that ignore our immigration laws.
