The murder of anyone is a problem and all perps should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Sanctuary has become a buzzword though and as with all 50 States many of these crimes can be traced back to shoddy enforcement of already existing laws be it by police, Judges, lawyers.. the system. The objection with many municipalities comes when the Federal Government begins ordering DHS and Ice agents into local law enforcement Departments be it Po'dunk County sheriff or City wide to serve as immigration enforcers. As it was said to me basically it takes the eye off the day to day crime the police already find themselves overwhelmed by and erodes local community trust, resources and personnel and primary focus where they live. I'm all for consequences and there is a proposed law that opens 'sanctuary Cities' up to civil lawsuits for not complying and would make it possible for surviving family members of murder, crime victims at the hands of illegals to sue a City. I'm not completely sure how that would work as the entire community would suffer economically but that's ultimately their point as it would have every neighbor looking over their shoulders and dropping dimes to rat out anyone suspicious or as I've seen first hand down here..with the name 'Sanchez'

. Turns out Sanchez had all his legal papers in order, loves this Country but not sure if he's been able to put the front door back on it's frame or gotten his terrified child to stop balling yet. For me the massive 800 lb Gorilla in the room with illegal immigration and what would prove most effective more than a wall or Federal face masks kicking in random doors at 5am is open the employers up to penalties and suits. Nationwide..any and all businesses who hire illegals open themselves up to it but that right there would be severely damaging and revealing to many of these same politicians and law makers because they also employ illegals. Have or still do. There is great hypocrisy with some immigration hysteria. But if we want to be honest about a start, target employers maybe.
