Sanctuary California should be a cautionary tale, not a goal

.

By Stephen Frank,  California Political News and Views

If you like to be a victim of a crime.  California is the place to be.  If you are an American citizen committing a crime, you will probably be arrested, tried and if convicted jailed.  If you are an illegal alien you will be protected from deportation.  And, if needed Gov. News will give you a pardon, so you can’t be deported!

“What anti-borders politicians have done to California over the last 30 years is a disgrace.  The home of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, once a beacon of opportunity and prosperity, is today a sinking ship.  Immigration policy is a significant factor in that decline.

Taking on a massive population of illegal aliens has come at a colossal cost to Californians, in terms of finances, safety, and job opportunities, to name a few.  State residents foot the bill for more than $23 billion that is directly attributable to illegal immigration and its effects.  That breaks down to almost $2,000 for every legally present household each year.  This from a state that is already carrying more than $1.3 trillion in total state, county, and municipal debt.  Who wouldn’t want to pay a hefty tax each year to encourage more illegal aliens to move to your community?

Dan Walters is known for being an objective observer and journalist.  Even he sees the disaster of the Democrat policy of sanctuary and protecting criminals.
