The problem with both "sanctuary cities and churches" is that they have some sort of "us" verses the "big bad government" mentality that they actually encourage, teach, glorify, and defend as if the role of cities and churches is to thwart the federal government in its attempt and its desire to enforce federal law on those who are in violation of federal law.
-
The Federal Government (with its laws, law enforcement, and courts) is not - not - the "enemy" of either illegal immigrants or the citizens of the United States.....and any attempt by "sanctuary cities and churches" to unite "the people" against the Federal Government should not be encouraged but discouraged.
-
Any attempt to portray the Federal Government, illegal immigrants, and their home countries as (in the same order) Nazis, Jews, and death camps is ludicrous.
-
Not even Jesus spoke out against or thwarted the Roman Government and Roman Law the way these "sanctuary cities and churches" do our nation's.
