C.E. Dyer explains it is absurd that sanctuary cities — cities that pledge that they will not seek out or prosecute illegal immigrants despite the fact that they are in violation of the law — even exist in the United States as they actively flout federal law and serve to endanger both their own citizens and the rest of the country.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry just confirmed the danger of sanctuary cities during prepared remarks given to the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security according to the Washington Examiner.

Landry told the committee that sanctuary city policies “allow illegals to commit crimes, then roam free in our communities.”

The Examiner reported:

“The remarks came in a hearing on New Orleans, and how the city has become a “sanctuary city” following new policies that went into effect on Feb. 28 that forbid city police from inquiring into an individual’s immigration status. Those policies were written by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division following a request in 2010 by Mayor Mitch Landrieu for the agency to help reform the city’s police department.”

Landry, who was previously a member of the House, cited recent crime statistics from Los Angeles, another sanctuary city, that show the negative effect sanctuary city policies have on cities that adopt them:

“[L]os Angeles saw all crime rise in 2015: violent crime up 19.9 percent, homicides up 10.2 percent, shooting victims up 12.6 percent, rapes up 8.6 percent, robberies up 12.3 percent, and aggravated assault up 27.5 percent.”

Landry noted how such anti-law-and-order policies undermine the rest of law-abiding society as they “encourage further illegal immigration and promote an underground economy that sabotages the tax base.”

The Examiner reported on how sanctuary city policies work in New Orleans thanks to the Department of Justice:

“In the “sanctuary city” policies in New Orleans, police officers are unable to communicate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and are forbidden to share knowledge of someone being an illegal immigrant with anyone. The Department of Justice’s inspector general recently said the policy is in violation of federal law — something the DOJ itself allows to continue.”

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said that the DOJ’s work to have New Orleans impose sanctuary city policies is “an effort to further their political agenda.”

Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) agreed with Landry and Gowdy in his remarks that sanctuary city policies have “resulted in thousands of criminal aliens being released to commit more crimes.”

This is absolutely true and something we’ve reported about here at TFPP. The DOJ has aggressively worked to nationalize local police forces which is exactly what they’ve started to implement in New Orleans.

The DOJ steps in and files a lawsuit against the city which, as part of the settlement, issues a “consent decree” that essentially cedes control of their police force to the DOJ so that they can implement their agenda.

Just like how Obamacare’s individual mandate was the first step toward single-payer, nationalized government healthcare, the “consent decree” is just the first step toward the nationalization of local police forces in the United States.

These are efforts to “fundamentally transform” America and as the statistics show, Americans are paying the price for this radical agenda.
