The Truth Behind Sanctuary Cities [View all]

'Over a hundred years ago, the racist anti-immigrant cartoonist, Thomas Nast, did his best to whip up anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. The time was the 1880’s. His cartoons portrayed the Irish as monkeys, Catholic Bishops as crocodiles climbing onto America’s shores to eat up white Anglo-Saxon Protestant families, and hordes of lawless immigrants swarming off of boats to take up degenerate lives of crime in America’s cities.

Fast forward to the present.

The Know-Nothing Party has finally taken the White House with Donald Trump’s presidency. What is his top target where cities are concerned? Not infrastructure, bridges, jobs, schools, or restoring dwindling numbers of sworn officers on the streets, rather bringing “sanctuary cities under control” by cutting off any and all federal funding possible.'>>>
