The administration of President Donald Trump is going to relocate six of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regional offices. 

The Hill reports that Kelly Loeffler, the administrator of the SBA, made the announcement on Thursday.

It appears to be no coincidence that the six offices are currently located in "sanctuary cities," those that profess to provide sanctuary, from the federal government, for illegal immigrants residing in America.

Loeffler is making the move because she believes that the existing locations are bad for business.

The details:

The full press release can be found here.

It, in part, reads:

Today, U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced a series of reforms to put American citizens first by ending taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens and moving SBA offices out of sanctuary cities. These actions support President Trump’s agenda to secure our borders – which has already resulted in the lowest rates(Link is external) of illegal border crossings in history.

The press release goes on to explain that the SBA, under Loeffler's leadership, is now taking two big steps.

One is "a new policy requiring SBA loan applications to include a citizenship verification provision to ensure only legal, eligible applicants can access SBA programs."

The other is "the SBA will relocate six of its regional offices currently in municipalities that do not comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement." The offices that are being moved are in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York City, and Seattle.

"Cut off access..."

Loeffler released a statement on Thursday, explaining the decision.

She said:

Over the last four years, the record invasion of illegal aliens has jeopardized both the lives of American citizens and the livelihoods of American small business owners, who have each become victims of Joe Biden’s migrant crime spree. Under President Trump, the SBA is committed to putting American citizens first again – starting by ensuring that zero taxpayer dollars go to fund illegal aliens.

Loeffler went on to announce the actions she is taking to further this goal.

She said:

Today, I am pleased to announce that this agency will cut off access to loans for illegal aliens and relocate our regional offices out of sanctuary cities that reward criminal behavior. We will return our focus to empowering legal, eligible business owners across the United States – in partnership with the municipalities who share this Administration’s commitment to secure borders and safe communities.

This certainly appears to be a step in the right direction.
