Iowa Against Sanctuary Cities

Source: pjmedia.com

The anti sanctuary city rule is gaining steem (pun intended). Several cities in California have put forth legislation to ban federal rules on detaining and holding illegal immigrants. Iowa has joined the wave of citizens realizing that illegal immigrants are not a positive addition to their population. Governor Kim Reynolds signed a state law that bars Iowa cities and counties from becoming a 'Sanctuary' city, even though it may mean that they will face a reduction in state funding.

Cities and states are waking up to the realization that although not all illegal immigrants maybe violent but some are and all of them have knowingly broke the law. What is the logic in exposing your community to those whom are violent. With violent crime making front page news, not that all violent crime is due to illegal immigrants, the community expects government to do their best to minimize crime not to exacerbate it.

Immigration is one of the laws that founded this nation but note that I say immigration, not illegal immigration. With the exception of the American Indian, we are all immigrants. But one of the rules was that we abide by the law of land and properly going through the immigration process is one of the laws. When it comes to politicians who advocate breaking the law, I question why law abiding citizens don't stop voting them in.
