Dan Cadman talks about sanctuary cities with the Center for Immigration Studies. Sanctuary Cities Fact Sheet.

I strongly endorse the termination of cities running sanctuary cities on your tax dollars.  The U.S. has been transformed by illegal and legal immigration for decades now in all 50 states; not just the southwest and southern states.  And most have utter contempt for the indigenous population.  Why wouldn't they when we give away the store?  Immigrants are rarely grateful, ingrates to be sure, and feel entitled to services and monies funded by the American taxpayers.  Recently, it's been announced that California taxpayers are on the hook for the healthcare of immigrants, which means that California will be playing host to hordes of sick immigrants.  Look around your city to see how many 30-year-old to 40-year-old Latinas occupy government positions that pay $150,000 to $200,000 a year while the average American salary is around $41,000.  I personally know one former principal in Los Angeles who makes $200,000 and I know one librarian who pulls in $170,000 a year.   Maybe we can stop with the egregious salaries of these folks and force the immigrants who do come to the U.S. to learn, read, and speak English instead of paying insane amounts of taxpayer dollars for them in positions that require no more than speaking Spanish.  The young and older men own all of the city landscaping jobs.  

“Sanctuary” is the practice of shielding aliens in the United States in violation of law from the reach of federal immigration officers. Once the isolated practice of a few church groups permitting a family or two that had crossed the border illegally to shelter in their sanctum, it has morphed into something completely different in recent years.

BACKGROUND

Today, hundreds of city and county jurisdictions, and even a few states (such as California and Oregon), officially enact laws, regulations, or policies designed to impede federal agents from identifying and taking aliens into custody. Ironically, most of these laws and policies mandate a policy of non-cooperation between state/local police on one hand, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on the other. This happens most frequently in interactions involving police arrests of aliens for criminal violations: An ICE agent seeks information about an arrested alien for purposes of initiating removal proceedings or files a detainer asking a police or sheriff’s office to turn the alien over upon release from its jail.

Often, local enforcement would like to cooperate, but their hands are tied because of state laws preventing them from doing so. In Oregon, for instance, at least half of the county sheriffs have endorsed a citizen initiative placed on the November ballot that would repeal the state’s sanctuary law so that they can cooperate with ICE in identifying and removing alien criminals. In California, some locales have rebelled against the state’s sanctuary law and voted to ignore it.

Keep doing your great work, Rep. Comer. The Sanctuary Cities are the outgrowth of a movement that began about 40 years ago to smuggle family members of Communist insurgencies into the United States. @capitalresearch did a brilliant study of it at the time.
