America’s Reddest (and Stealthiest) Sanctuary State — Not So Stealthy Now
How to end the Beehive State’s sanctuary status
 
By Ronald W. Mortensen on July 24, 2024

For decades, Utah has been America’s stealthiest sanctuary state, but that all came crashing down when Salt Lake City TV station KUTV, reported that “Denver is paying travel costs to send migrants to Utah — roughly 2,000 so far — even as the state, Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County lack capacity to care for them, and as they urge asylum seekers to go someplace else.”

Following the KUTV report, the New York Times, Daily Mail, Wall Street Journal, and the Deseret News (which is owned by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) all reported on Utah’s status as one of the most welcoming states in the nation for individuals crossing the southern border. The Deseret News did, however, continue to tell its readers that “Utah is not officially a sanctuary state.”

Now that Utah’s stealth sanctuary status has been exposed, this article looks at how Utah’s elected officials responded to the KUTV report and what needs to be done to end Utah’s sanctuary state status.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I reckon the memory of the attacks on The Saints in Missouri in the 1830's still haunt them. Enough so that they remain hesitant to "drive the invading illegals" out (as they themselves were "driven out" of their settlements, more than once).

But... they had better get some gumption along with the intestinal fortitude to do so this time. Otherwise they're gonna lose their state "to the left"...
