Crime drops in Phoenix after city drops
\nsanctuary city status, former cops say<\/em><\/a><\/p>\nStands to reason, actually.\u00a0 While some illegal immigrants are doubtless in the US in search of employment and\/or because of bad conditions in their native lands, a significant number of them are criminals.\u00a0 It doesn’t take a huge fraction of criminals in an area to have a measurable impact on crime statistics.<\/p>\n
Further, the criminals among those illegal immigrants have brought more than themselves here illegally.\u00a0 In many cases, they’ve also brought their criminal gang ties and practices along for the ride.\u00a0 Because of that, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that giving “sanctuary” to illegal immigrants also means giving sanctuary to some number of illegal immigrant gangbangers – as well as giving them a potential base of operations in which they can commit their crimes.<\/p>\n
I’ve got no problem with anyone who immigrates to the US lawfully.\u00a0 But I do have a problem with those who didn’t.<\/p>\n
And I have an even bigger problem with public officials who look the other way at criminal activity.\u00a0 Officials condoning “sanctuary” for those breaking Federal law are doing exactly that.<\/p>\n
