Based on a recent UC Berkeley poll 74 % of Californians want to abolish Sanctuary Cities. It is understandable peaceful Americans—citizens, immigrants, even illegal immigrants—don’t want criminals traversing back and forth over the border with impunity and the protection of the state.
While Sanctuary Cities are theoretically about immigration, in numerous ways they are more about the mobocracy and chaos that has developed into a powerful tool of left-wing ascendency. If this nullification and arbitrary enforcement of law remains acceptable—as it has with the Supreme Court, what happens when America is unwilling to engage in a conversation about the deliberate disregard of federal law that directly leads to anarchy because some find those laws ideologically problematic and immoral.
I recognize that there are tremendously hard-working illegal immigrants that agonize in the shadows and that many would make incredible Americans; however, there are numerous illegal immigrants who are criminals. Disregarding the law encourages criminality—not immigration—to fester and grow. Duplicity and arbitrary enforcement of the law is more problematic than virtuous and in the end hurts the cause of reform and immigration for that matter.
