President Trump is set to sign an executive order that will expose the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the left’s position on illegal immigration in sanctuary cities.
The Constitution is crystal clear on this. Article I, Section 8 explicitly grants Congress the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization. The idea that local jurisdictions can simply opt out of federal immigration law is absurd on its face. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of how our constitutional republic functions.
Sanctuary cities are hotbeds of crime and fiscal irresponsibility. The left claims these policies make communities safer, but the data tells a different story. Studies show that sanctuary jurisdictions have higher rates of violent crime and place an enormous burden on taxpayers. Facts don’t care about your feelings, and the facts here are indisputable.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that sanctuary policies did make cities safer. Even if that were true, which it demonstrably isn’t, it would still be unconstitutional. The rule of law matters. You don’t get to pick and choose which federal laws you’ll follow based on your feelings.
In conclusion, Trump’s executive order is a necessary step to uphold the Constitution and protect American citizens. It will force sanctuary jurisdictions to confront the reality of their failed policies.
