For several decades, Americans have lamented the demise of their once-great big cities. In the country’s rise to superpower status after World War II, metropolises like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles were attractive destinations to anyone looking for opportunity and the best life in the West had to offer.
Today, it seems most people can’t escape from big cities fast enough. Crime is on the rise, as is overcrowding, the high cost of living and general squalor. This is not the result of an act of God, but the consequences for years of bad public policies. Who have been the loudest advocates for these policies? Without question, it has been America’s sanctuary mayors, and it is past time to call them out for the destruction they have wrought.
Sanctuary mayors, alongside city council members, governors and other political figures of the same ilk, believe in lawless communities. By refusing to cooperate with federal immigration laws, they bring chaos into their cities and make victims of not just legal residents, but the illegal migrants they claim to be helping.
Since the corporate media has long ago abandoned its watchdog role and hides the truth about sanctuary cities, it falls on others to call out those responsible for this mayhem. The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) recently compiled a ranking of America’s worst sanctuary mayors for 2024, and every mayor cited has been a shameless ambassador for the policies that have made their cities more overcrowded, broke and dangerous.
