Sanctuary Cities Start Rejecting Democrat’s Immigration Enforcement Policies
November 11, 2019 Jim-Kouri

The majority of U.S. Border Patrol Agents are dedicated to protecting Americans and America. They don’t deserve to be denigrated by the likes of hack politicians.
Following the massacre of American Mormon women and children by alleged drug cartel members in Mexico – which the news media attempted to downplay – a growing number of Americans are revisiting their city’s, county’s or state’s sanctuary policies to protect illegal aliens from federal law enforcement officers.

For example, voters in the “Blue City” of Tucson, Arizona on last Tuesday’s election day gave an overwhelming “thumbs down” for a ballot initiative that would have made it the sole sanctuary city in what many regard a red state.

The ballot initiative to declare the city a sanctuary for illegal immigrants surprisingly lost the supported of the mayor and city council, all of whom are left-wing Democrats, who said the initiative risked public safety and millions of dollars the city gets from the state and federal governments.

The ballot measure was pushed by far-left activists who oppose the federal laws regarding immigration. They also believed it was a first step in giving political power to Tucson’s Latino community. They claimed it would have sent the message that immigrants are safe and protected in Tucson at a time when many are fearful of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

The Latino leadership and political activists also see it as being a step-or-two backward to giving illegal immigrants the right to vote in local elections or holding public office.

The initiative, known as Proposition 205, would have hampered police officer from inquiring about the immigration status of a suspect arrested for a criminal act or prevented them from cooperating with federal law enforcement officials from Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and others involved in capturing illegal immigrants and confiscating illegal drugs, firearms, and other contraband.
