FIRST ON FOX: Legislation introduced Thursday by three House Republicans would push states to prioritize victims of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants by linking priorities to federal funding.

The Justice for Victims of Open Border Act was introduced Thursday by Reps. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., Mayra Flores, R-Texas and Greg Steube, R-Fla.

The bill would change grant disbursements through the 1984 Victims of Crime Act. That legislation created a Crime Victims Fund which provides funding to state and local programs and services to focus on helping crime victims rebuild their lives.”
