Sanctuary laws defy the will of the American people
American Thinker ^ | December 27, 2019 | Brian Lonergan

Last month champions of freedom around the world celebrated the 30th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The significance of that landmark event of the last century endures today. It is a reminder that, while totalitarianism and government-sponsored repression can still take root, the will of resilient and brave people can ultimately win.

The spirit of those courageous Germans from 1989, singing at the wall and knocking it down with sledgehammers, is alive today in America. People in unlikely places are standing up against onerous sanctuary laws that their political leaders are trying to foist upon them.

Evidence can be found in two elections last month. While Arizona is a traditional red state that is now trending purple, its second-largest city of Tucson has long been a blue stronghold. That’s why it was so surprising that its citizens soundly rejected a ballot initiative by a 71-29 margin that would have declared Tucson a sanctuary city.

In deep-blue Sussex County, N.J., residents similarly voted by a 2-1 margin to support an initiative that would allow law enforcement to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

What is going on here?

It’s quite simple, really. Voters are standing up and rebelling against the propaganda they have been force-fed by politicians and the media. The dubious message has been that sanctuary laws are good for their community, that they make it safer, more welcoming and fair. It’s a classic “the emperor wears no clothes” moment. The rhetoric does not match up with what people see and hear in their own lives every day.

Of course. Liberal judges are always trying to circumvent the votes of the people. Did we get to decide the issue of gay marriage? They let the states vote at first, and when they didn’t like the result, they forced it through claiming it was a constitutional right instead.

A consistent 65-70% of the citizens have wanted enforcement for 30 years through FOUR Presidents (well, three and one usurper).
Every time there are ballot initiatives like Prop 187, the citizens say they want to keep their country.
The establishment doesn’t care.
They already planned our future for US.
We will become North Mexico.

Unless we remove from office those who support amnesty, like Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio, every other Bush League Republican and every Democrat.
They already have 30 million illegal aliens here, with another 30 million legal immigrants who want open borders to bring in the rest of their family.

That’s true and that’s a good thing and fortunately the will of the people is finally turning against the illegal aliens sanctuaries.

This article is about illegal alien sanctuaries.

I kind of like the irony of the position that this puts Democrats.

Sanctuaries for fraudulently documented foreigners to evade US laws are OK, but not for Constitutional rights for citizens.

Which is what rogue govenors don’t
do for sanctuary cities.

The will of the People and the Law of the Land...

Except in Virginia where the Sheriffs and others are on the right track...
