Sanctuary Cities’ Death Rattle Grows Louder

While our society seems to be drowning in an unrelenting torrent of lies, propaganda, and half-truths, we may draw some comfort from the fact that, over time, many of history’s most outrageous deceptions eventually were conquered by truth. The Titanic was the great unsinkable ship, until it sunk. The Third Reich was supposed to rule for 1,000 years and was gone after 12. More recently, Joe Biden was proclaimed to be “sharp as a tack,” until the truth could no longer be concealed .

A similar inconvenient truth is now crashing into the once lauded concept of sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities sound great to those who filter life through their emotions. Was it ever practical, however, to defy federal authority and declare large, metropolitan areas safe zones for foreign nationals who violate our immigration laws? No, but it did wonders for making supporters of the idea feel compassionate and superior to anyone who raised warning flags. And no politicians has been punished for advancing this project. Thus was born the sanctuary city concept in the 1980s, and it spread to communities throughout the land.

With a body of evidence spanning four decades now, it is time to judge sanctuary cities not by their pseudo-humanitarian goals, but by reality. Many of America’s largest, once-beautiful cities have been brought to their knees by overcrowding, crime, and the astronomical costs of providing for the never-ending flow of illegal aliens to their communities.

Well, when the world is dumping its prisons to come here, I'd expect some increase in crime, and they may even get creative about it.
But don't expect to see it in the Media any time soon.

Besides, if they get rid of the police, will the social workers keep tabs on the stats?
From what I've seen of that lot, they'd smooth that over just to look good.

Wanna get smug Rats? Wanna get smirky? Think you're playing the long con? Let's get smirky.

Your cities are in an untenable situation, full of illegals and permanent welfare cases that do little more dwindle your tax base and empty your coffers. Your businesses and personal wealth is exiting, either via leaving or getting burnt down and killed. You infrastructure is crumbling and the atmospheric spike in crime makes day-to-day life near impossible. So you sit on this powder keg that is absolutely ready to blow up into decades of anarchic dystopia that will mean the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Wanna get hard core long term strategy? When this blows up it's gonna greatly reduce your population and influence on electoral politics. We out here in the Red zones don't have to do nothing but watch. We'll take your businesses, skilled labor, and productive citizens and simply go right around your dead zone and let the country politically balance itself. That's how it's gonna go down.

Sorry my workboot wiped that smirk off your face.
