From the fourth to the seventeenth centuries, English and other European law extended the right to sanctuary to criminals and runaway slaves.  Once inside a church, fugitives were immune to arrest and prosecution for crimes.  A famous example from literature is the gypsy girl Esmeralda safely entering the Paris cathedral of Notre Dame, while Quasimodo calls from the bell tower, “Sanctuary!”  Nowadays, the word sanctuary is used by Leftist cities and States which refuse to aid the federal government in the enforcement of immigration laws, actively shield illegal alien criminals from State and federal justice, and righteously proclaim that all illegal aliens, to whom they refer as “irregular migrants,” are welcome in their jurisdictions.  The sanctuary city/State policies gained momentum in the face of President Trump’s border wall and border security policies.  The Blue states announced that they would resist all attempts by the federal government to enforce the immigration laws already on the books.  The District of Columbia, passed the Sanctuary Values Act, which prohibits jails, police and other city agencies from sharing information with ICE or giving them special access.  It also restricts the city’s prisons from functioning as immigration detention centers.  New Jersey, I’m sorry to say,  follows the same policy.  In this regard, the Democrats, who love to throw around the word “insurrection” should be advised that any State, or city which resists, frustrates, or prevents the enforcement of federal law is engaging in a real insurrection.  The Constitution is crystal clear on this point, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States … shall be the supreme law of the land … anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”  We hadn’t heard much about sanctuary city/state insurrections since the advent of the administration of Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden.  I guess it’s not necessary for a State to frustrate the enforcement of immigration laws when the federal government itself has decided not to enforce those laws.  But the sanctuary policy was front and center in recent days, as a result of the actions of Governors Abbott and DeSantis, who have been relocating illegal aliens from Texas and Florida to places like Martha’s Vineyard and Washington, D.C.  The D.C. sanctuary policy was described above.  Martha’s Vineyard, the playground of ultra-rich, leftist/socialist A-holes, is perhaps the epicenter of self-righteous virtue signaling.  A sign on the island announces, “We stand with immigrants, with refugees, with indigenous peoples.  All are welcome here.”  Vineyard residents and visitors took pride in this sentiment right up to the moment that two planes from Florida, carrying 50 illegal aliens, landed on Martha’s Vineyard, the aliens deplaned and asked, “When do we eat?”  At that point, the welcome ended.  The aliens spent less than 48 hours on the island.  Then, the Vineyard residents declared a humanitarian crisis, and stood with the “migrants” only long enough for 125 soldiers to round them up and take them to a military base in Cape Cod.   There was plenty of room for the unvaccinated illegal aliens on the military base as the Biden administration has dismissed more than 62,000 members of the military who refused the vaccination.  This,of course, is madness, and an insult to every man and woman who ever has served in the military.  The story was much the same in Washington, D.C., where several busloads of illegals were dropped off at Kamala Harris’ residence.  The Mayor of that sanctuary city immediately panicked, and called for National Guard troops.  Do you notice a pattern to this madness?  Democrats invite illegal aliens to enter, throw the border open to all comers, including at least 78 people on the terrorist watch list that we know about, proclaim themselves and their cities the welcomers of these new arrivals, fly them all over the country, and provide them with phones, medical care, and education, but when they’re sent to one of these supposed sanctuaries by a  Red state governor, they call out the troops to arrest them.  These are the same people who lambasted President Trump for trying to stop the invasion, and warned him not to use the military to defend our own border.  And, because they are both myopic and psychotic, they perceive no hypocrisy in their actions.  New York City, perhaps the ultimate supposed sanctuary city, only added to the hypocrisy.  Mayor Adams announced that New York “is at the breaking point” due to the busloads of aliens sent there from Texas.  According to Adams, his city of 8 million can’t cope with several hundred aliens from Texas.  He thinks they should have stayed in Texas, where El Paso (population 865,000) and Eagle Pass (population 28,000) are dealing with thousands of invaders every day.  Indeed, 265 aliens arrive every hour.  They don’t call out the militia, and they get no help from the federal government.  One and all, the sanctimonious sanctuary sycophants blame Governors Abbott and DeSantis for their problems, because they dared to relocate several hundred illegals. Yet they find absolutely no fault with their own fearless, and witless leader, Joe Biden, the chief engineer of the border disaster.  These phonies call the actions of Abbott and DeSantis shameless political stunts.  But what choice did they have?  Because we don’t have an honest media, prepared to tell the American public the truth about the scope of the disaster wrought by Biden and company, the relocations were the only way to get the lying SOB’s of the media even to mention the border crisis at all.  This year alone, 2.1 million illegal aliens have been processed by ICE.  No one knows how many millions have entered without encountering an ICE agent.  Who are they?  How many dependents do they have?  Are they  afflicted with communicable diseases?  Where they will go,  and what they will do when they get there?  Are any of them criminals?  Are any mentally ill, and thus a danger to themselves or others?  How much it will cost to house, feed, clothe, educate and treat these masses?  If anyone knows, they’re not  talking.  The federal government has wrought this disaster, with the full support of the leftist A-holes who are in favor of these idiotic sanctuary policies.  Moreover, if anyone even asks for an answer to one of the questions posed above, he is branded an anti-immigration racist.  Even the Democrats must understand that this situation is unsustainable.  Clearly, their goal is to collapse the social safety net so they can turn, sorry “beautifully transform,” the country into a Socialist workers’ paradise, just like North Korea or Cuba.  November is coming.  Only your vote can stop them.
