Sheriff David Clarke has made a name for himself by not backing down from, well, anything. Clarke has been an outspoken supporter of President Trump’s policies, especially those pertaining to the deportation of criminal illegals.

This lawman doesn’t see immigration as the complicated issue that many want to make it; to him, a criminal is a criminal. His job is to keep his county safe, and if he, and other officers like him are unable to arrest and prosecute the lawless, he just can’t do his job.

Clarke makes a good point about sanctuary cities being a constitutional issue. Yes, it is up to the states to decide if they want to enforce certain laws, but they MUST comply with the enforcement of federal laws and enforcement agents.

There’s no doubt that many of those in support of giving refuge to illegals are themselves, honest and law abiding citizens. Our kinder and gentler side might speak up and say that these people just need a safe place to lay their heads. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that we are actually making these “sanctuaries” a place that is totally unsafe for legal immigrants and illegals alike.

Can you imagine the fear these families are going through, go have legally come to America in search of a better life and find that their friendly neighborhood gang members are already here?

Consider this, if you were mugged by someone who was virtually untouchable by the government or law enforcement, and you knew he was untouchable, and he knew he was untouchable, and he said that if you reported he would come for your family, what would you do? You would keep your big mouth shut because there’s nothing scarier than a thug that’s got nobody to answer to.
