Sounds like suicide to me.
“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic giant to step the ocean and crush us at one blow Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years.
“At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
Abraham Lincoln, 1837
“Sounds like suicide to me.”
Places that even consider this are already close to extinction; it is a last resort, often pushed by the public employees, to save their jobs at the expense of a larger pool of taxpayers (county, state, federal level). If NYC wasn’t a “sanctuary city” it would look like the poorest areas of Afghanistan; while there is a strong resemblance, there are still schools, policemen, and firemen.
Sounds like suicide to me.
Can’t kill something that’s already dead.
