Third in a five-part series. Read part 1 here and part 2 here.

Societal rot is a choice.

Does it make sense for cities and states to decide which illegal aliens can stay in the country?

No.

Should cities and states be allowed to flout federal immigration law, or any other federal law they don’t agree with?

No. 

Are cities and states that have sanctuary policies for illegal aliens harboring and enabling lawlessness?

Yes.

Would Kate Steinle and Laken Riley be alive today if sanctuary city policies didn’t exist?

Yes.

Do we have hundreds of thousands of crime victims across America because we don’t fully enforce federal immigration law?

Yes.

It seems as though President Joe Biden is less upset about the wanton killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, reportedly by an illegal alien, than he is about the suspect being referred to correctly as illegal. (Photo: Riley’s Facebook account)

It’s time to make common sense common again.

Societal rot is a choice.
