The Mayor of Sante Fe NM was on Megan Kelly tonight. He appeared to be a reasonably nice guy, but his rationale for justification of sancturary cities was was about as far fetched as one could imagine. He used statistics showing that Sante Fe had not shown an appreciable increase in crime over the last few years to support his case. He also said that they take people in, don't question whether they are illegal or not, try to fit them into their community, help them find jobs which in turn is taking away jobs away from legitimate citizens, and adds to the cost for schooiing, medical care, and other services that they are receiving. He kept emphasizing that he was dealing with "reality" regardless of the fact that they were illegal immigrants and could also be criminals. It was like he felt obligated to help them not withstanding the fact that they were breaking the federal law.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                There are over 30 States with over 300 jurisdictions that have been identified as having a policy that is non-cooperative and obstructs immigration enforcement. All of these locations have come about during Obama's eight years. We have no idea to what extent our country is housing illegal immigrants and what their intentions are for being here. We should consider ourselves lucky that we are not subjected to Hillary for the next four or eight years.
