--snip-- "Sanctuary cities" is a misleading label that has caused a great deal of confusion. The term is a misnomer for those cities and towns that prefer that the federal government handle immigration enforcement. It is wrong to attack sanctuary cities: Their policies actually help make our cities and towns safer.
A sanctuary city is a city that has decided to leave immigration enforcement to the federal government so that its own police force can concentrate on fighting crime. That's hardly a radical idea; it is a principle that the Supreme Court affirmed in Arizona v. U.S. (2012), which found that only the federal government had authority over immigration enforcement.

I stopped reading when he lied about the definition of a sanctuary city.
In all this brouhaha I have never quite seen anyone define quite what makes a “sanctuary city” into such a thing and how those things are illegal. Closest to it I have seen is some locales require a warrant to transfer a prisoner to the Federal Government. There must be something sinister about this, but I am not catching it. Is it impossible or impractical to generate such warrants?
What does the Federal Government have the authority to tell a state to do and how does that come into play here? Slinging around accusations of “traitor” does nothing to illuminate these issues. Remember that the principle that floated your boat today might torpedo it tomorrow.
The authors name is RAUL A. REYES. That being the case it’s almost a given that he would defend sanctuary cities.
Unless you live in one.
I’m OK with “sanctuary cities” as long as they are the new name for jails and prisons for these felon invaders. The writer of this piece is a real dimwit dope.
Sanctuary Cities Actually Make Us Safer
If you believe that... you’ve messed up you’re on the Wrong website...
Sanctuary mansions would make us even safer. Lets bus them all into the rich liberals’ neighborhoods.
Yep, just like disarming the law abiding will make us safer from criminals.
It gets the bad guys to go to one place, I wish that was so, it isn’t.
So...it’s OK now to have cities that exempt themselves from Federal law?
How ‘bout an NFA-free city?
Show up at the range with a Mk-19 or something? No problem! You just can’t take it out of town.
Any racism involved in this “opinion” of Raul here?
Wonder if he’d feel the same of the majority of illegals were black or Anglos?
But they’re NEVER called out, are they?
A sanctuary city is a city that has decided to leave immigration enforcement to the federal government so that its own police force can concentrate on fighting crime.
Being an illegal alien is a crime along with the crimes many of the commit here.
Sanctuary Cities Actually Make Us Safer
and the Atlantic Ocean is made out of grapefruit juice.
Hartford just had its 17th murder and is calling for govt help.
Wonder who the perps are? Some of Reyes’ pendejos? For a third generation Mexican American, he sure is dumb.
I remember when it was safe to walk the streets of Bridgeport, Ct, or any other city in that once great state.
Some people are just stuck on stupid for life.
I love the state of CT. Just beautiful! Sadly it’s infested with Progressive psycho nitwits.

If many cities and even whole states have been allowed to ignore immigration law wholesale and still get federal funding, it is fair to say that other areas can ignore same sex marriage mandates which have even lower public support.
You’ve got a red Rep. Laura del Rosa who is buddy buddy with Joelle Fishman the head of the Communist Party of Connecticut.
You’ll find a lot of information on both at the database site www.keywiki.org. Enter either name in the SEARCH box and hit Search. Photos and other goodies. Just an example of how a small communist/leftist cadre can takeover a major city, if not the whole state.
Rhode Island is almost as bad. Their political leaders, like those of Conn. are batshit leftist crazies. Massachusetts is Red Central for New England, esp. in the universities, while Vermont has always been a Marxist state since the Lee Webbs, John Froines and Dave Dellingers and company moved their and took it over in the 1970’s, according to their announced plans.
New Hampshire (originally types in error New Hampshite), has degenerated to the point of leftist cesspool. I used to write for the Manchester Union Leader under the wonderful leadership of the late Bill Loeb. Today the MUL is a joke and the Left seem to run the state.
What we need up there is another American Revolution with a massive housecleaning, and I don’t particularly care how it is done.
The New Hampshire state slogan of “Live Free or Die” is now “You’ll Live the way we want you to, and if you don’t, we’ll tax you to death to see that you do”.
