I enjoy the symbolism of this, but fear it will backfire if a tragedy in these places occurs and services are withheld.
Yea, we’ve got the Rats coming to town here in Denver for their convention next year—that’s a frickin’ tragedy!
“but fear it will backfire if a tragedy in these places occurs and services are withheld.”
The tragedy has already happened...numerous times in numerous cities...
drunken driving, assaults, rapes, drug dealing, criminal acts committed over and over by illegal aliens being protected and coddled by namby-pamby left wing politicians.
these cities are willfully breaking the law by refusing to cooperate with federal immigration laws. Payback’s a bitch.
If a tragedy occurs it is the fault of the illegal for being there in the first place. I have sympathy for them but let them stay in their own country unless they can come here through legal channels.
That's exactly what it will take to wake up the local politicians to this invasion. I live within the bounds of the invaded city of Los Angeles, a sanctuary city with a pro-MECHA Mayor, and a Governor (Arnold) who is mute on this issue, and we are being overrun by Mexican illegals. They have absolutely no respect for America, are are sucking this state dry.
I think the threat of witholding services will cause the cities to rescend their policies. When states and cities stand to lose federal funds they tend to change policy rapidly. I don’t think it is just a symbolic act- anything tied to money has teeth.
Three of the six Ft Dix attackers lived in sanctuary cities in NJ. They were stopped numerous times for traffic violations by local LE. If they did not live in those cities, their illegal status would have been discovered and they would have been deported. Instead they were allowed to stay to plan the attacks. If fate was not so good, and the electronic store clerk did not report the video, some of my DoD fellow workers could have ended up in body bags. The detriment of sanctuary cities have already struck America. It was close enough to make it personal for me. No one has raised this issue in court yet, because sanctuary cities allow illegals to be protected from deportation, and it gives them a place to hatch other schemes to bypass employment laws such as ID theft. Utah just released a survey of their own state benefits records and found up to 20,000 SSN do not match other official records. Illegal immigrants are the main suspect. Sanctuary cities are contributing to a public nusiance by ignoring a federal regulation designed to protect this nation and the injured parties should have the right to sue them. It is no different from a city that publicly declares that they would ignore FDA laws and tainted food got out of their city to poison another community. The city can be liable for ignoring a federal law. Tragedy has already struck the US due to sanctuary cities, and that was 9/11 with nine of the 19 attackers who were illegal immigrants living in sanctuary cities.
Well, that would be soooo sad! Cities like Austin, TX, that forbid their police to notify the INS when illegal aliens are arrested for crimes deserve to have their funds cut off.

What is tragic about an illegal not receiving medical treatment? They sure don’t have such services available back in Mexico?
