There are currently 183 self-declared "sanctuary cities" in America. Plus all the towns, and villages, and counties and even states. Like Taxifornia, and New Yawk. And Illinoway. However, deciding not to enforce America's laws is anarchy. And is prema facie evidence of the choice to exit America. They are anarchists. Anti-American anarchists.
Like the State in which I currently reside. Unfortunately. 47 of our 54 counties are owned and controlled by the Democrat Party. Giving Democrats a supermajority in both the State Assembly and Senate. Meaning they can conjure up the dumbest laws imaginable, and then pass them! Nearly 1,000 every single year, for the past 20 years! We now have 366,244 laws on the books. When will that be enough?
Oh yeah, CA just passed a law making it illegal for clerks to chase down shoplifters! It's now a misdemeanor. And they'll likely jail the poor employees.
Stealing? Meh...
I say "currently," because folks like me are bailing like rats from a sinking ship, so there are fewer of us every day. So far more than 600,000 taxpayers have run for the exits from the once-Great State of California. Another half-million are expected to bail this year alone. And these are the folks who can afford to move. To sell their houses and pack up and run like bandits. Taking their $100k a year jobs with them.
Pretty soon the taxpayers will be replaced with tax-takers. There will be no choice then but to hike taxes again, thus spurring another round of expatriots. In Taxifornia's case, it'll go from 13.3%, the Nation's highest, to, what, send me your paycheck? Buy bye Endless Summer.
As I'm (in)famous for saying,
"Pretty soon there won't be anyone left here but sign twirlers and Starbucks baristas."
Except the sign twirlers in O'Biden's economy won't then be able to afford that cup of coffee, leaving the baristas out of a job...
These sanctuary cities, adopted the UN's socialist policy back in the 1980's that every city everywhere should provide food, shelter and clothing to everybody. From anywhere. Forever.
Nice thought, but beyond impractical, at the very best. There will always be poor, as Jesus told us, just as there will always be rich, as I'm telling you. We have the absolute Right here in America, guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence, to "pursue happiness." You do not have the Right to attain happiness, however. That's up to you.
Yet, the "Progressives" amongst us who'd seized control of city councils across its "Bluest" parts of our once-Great Nation demanded that illegal aliens be welcomed to any of these cities without first paying the price of admission. If they could only somehow manage to make their way up that far. Since most of these cities are Up North. As in NYC, and Chicago, and Seattle. How conveeeeeenient.
For a time this "feel good" measure made them all feel good. No harm, no foul. Trump was keeping them out, for the most part, fighting like Hell as he was to build that wall, so they could sit atop their High Horse with glee.
But thennn, O'Biden got immaculated.
He'd promised on the campaign trail back in September, 2019 that if elected he'd welcome 3 million new illegals every year. And that seems to be one of the only promises he's keeping. And the keeping of that promise is getting a whole bunch of folks' panties in a bunch. As in, the mayors of dozens of Big Blue cities.
"Progressives" never seem to think out the possible results of those feel-good actions, do they?
Like Eric Adams from NYC. Who has so far had to find housing for more than 95,000 "migrants" his President O'Biden has sent his way. And will keep on sending. $4.3 Billion dollars he says this boondoggle will cost the taxpayers of New York City. So far. And so today he begged his city council to drop the "required to find shelter" demand in their charter.
Imagine that.
Smug, entitled, out-of-touch elitist commies get their asses handed to them every now and then. In front of God and everybody.
Like now...
I think good ol' Eric can file this one under, "Sh*t Happened..."*
* Hey Eric, this little boondoggle is costing your taxpayers $9.8 Million Dollars a Day. Might want to call your buddy Joe...
Sorry Charlie: I kinda disagree with your statement: He'd promised on the campaign trail back in September, 2019 that if elected he'd welcome 3 million new illegals every year. And that seems to be one of the only promises he's keeping.
ReplyDeleteHe's kept promise after promise that puts America last, , as in get rid of coal, pursue electric and climate change agenda and anything that destroys Trump, our economy, weakens our nation and leads to social and moral decline. It's almost like he's working for the enemy, or his own pocketbook, or both.
