Critics Question Lack of Crackdown on Sanctuary Cities

More than fifty cities in the United States, believing that enforcement of immigration laws is the responsibily of the federal government, are offering sanctuary to illegal immigrants. Given the administration's lawsuit against Arizona, critics are asking why these cities are "getting a pass" for ignoring the law. According to Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-IL, the statement they are making is that it is not up to them "to preemt the federal government." Others, like Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Liberty Commission and a supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, oppose sanctuary cities. "We can't have government officials deciding which laws they are going to enforce or not enforce. That undermines the rule of law." To read more on this issue, click here.
