re: For Those Who Support Sanctuary Cities, Convince Me Why It's a Good Thing

Why are you in favor of sanctuary cities?



Don't expect a logical answer from a liberal.

Just trying to give them a chance to give us a rational & sensible reason why it's good for any city to adopt a sanctuary status.

Personally, I'm still waiting. So far, all I've read in favor of sanctuary status is 1) it would allow illegal immigrants to feel safe about reporting crime, and 2) some sort of matter regarding local law enforcement aiding and abetting federal officials for free.

Neither rationale moves my meter even a single millimeter. I mean, if crime is THAT PREVALENT in these neighborhoods, all the more reason to get them the hell out of the country NOW. As for the second reason, looks to me like ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY should fall under the scope of what local law enforcement should be doing. If we need to pay them extra for this, I'm okay with some more of my tax dollars going towards rounding up AND DEPORTING illegal immigrants.
