Sanctuary cities are not just misguided policies cloaked in compassion—they are a calculated strategy of power by the progressive left.

While the rhetoric centers on “inclusion” and “protecting the vulnerable,” the real agenda is structural and political. These cities defy federal law under the pretense of local governance, while quietly constructing an alternative legal order—one that benefits illegal immigrants, shields criminal networks, and chips away at national sovereignty.

This is not grassroots charity. This is top-down ideological control. Behind these cities stand powerful NGOs, many with deep ties to Democratic donors and globalist institutions. They operate as unelected shadow governments—lobbying, litigating, and implementing open-border policies with zero accountability to the American people.

Why? Because mass migration—legal or otherwise—reshapes the electoral map. It alters congressional apportionment, transforms urban demographics, and opens the door to expanding voting rights beyond citizenship. It is long-term political engineering disguised as moral activism.

The progressive left no longer plays by the rules of the Republic. They are building parallel systems of governance in defiance of Article VI of the Constitution, which declares federal law supreme. Sanctuary policies aren’t just nullification—they’re secession in slow motion.

This is a rebellion without bullets. A coup without tanks. A power grab wrapped in virtue.

The American people must recognize this for what it is: a Trojan horse rolled through the gates of our cities, funded by our own tax dollars, weaponized against the very idea of nationhood.

Enough is enough. If we want to preserve the Republic, we must confront not only the policies—but the ideology and machinery behind them.

Open Border communities also subvert valid political representation.

Our Census counts "all persons present" in the USA - not just citizens.

By concentrating illegal immigrants in certain areas, the Democratic Party gains 10-15 seats in the House of Representatives, based just on population - even if NONE of the illegal immigrants actually vote.

...Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, which clearly states that federal law is the supreme law of the land. That supremacy is not optional, and it is not up for debate by governors, mayors, or activist city councils...

As a reminder, what Article VI actually states is:

...This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land...

We live in a federal republic - the central government has been delegated certain responsibilities and powers by the States and their people, while the States and their people have retained other responsibilities and powers. In fact, the federal government is a creature of the States, and could even be abolished if 3/4 of the States chose to do so. The author apparently prefers to ignore any realities that might conflict with his concept of simple 'national sovereignty' ...

There is no such thing as a Sanctuary City. We are a Nation of Laws. And they are breaking the war.

I've read a lot of posts here about sanctuary cities most of them trashing them for protecting illegals from federal forces.

Does anyone think before they speak, is anyone educated enough to actually give an argument of merit?

No one has mentioned this isnt the first time sanctuary cities have started a war.

Before 1861, entire states were sanctuary states and the U.S. federal government violated the constitution using the military to force entire states into becoming sanctuary states.

And i have to say this country is worse off because of the federal government's involvement with states rights.

I will add, states should not get a dime of government money or a single congressman based on non citizens counted during a census. Or a single electoral vote based in illegals.

is it possible states will once again petition to leave the U.S.? It may happen, DJT may be put in the same situation Lincoln was put it, but it won't be entire states, it will be cities and the surrounding blue areas. IDK ?

The Demonicrats controlling sanctuary cities should be arrested, charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop (carried out in public) for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. Their carcasses should be left to rot off the noose.

OK then...
I was checking that pesky constitution thingie and there it was...
The power to regulate immigration is specifically granted to the fed!!!
This means that states cannot do anything about immigration.
Cities have even less.
Sooo, sanctuary cities are unconstitutional...
Cities are regulated by states, so the state is in violation of the constitution!!!

Cut off all funding to the states that support this unconstitutioal folly and let the party begin!!!

"open defiance of lawful authority—a rejection of the Republic itself."...

And we openly reject their defiance of authority with patriotism and common sense.
