@layman,
Quote:some democratically-controlled "sanctuary city," with widespread violence and lawlessness
If you think we have such widespread violence and lawlessness, you obviously also have a very low opinion of our police and law enforcement agencies.
Fortunately, your view of such "sanctuary cities" appears to be more fantasy than reality.
BTW, El Salvador and Honduras have some of
the highest violence rates in the world--In both 2015 and 2016, El Salvador was the world′s most violent country, and its capital, San Salvador, was the most murderous city. Honduras: San Pedro Sula, which for years wore the unwelcome crown as the world′s most murderous city, now ranks third.
Is it really any wonder why so many, desperate to protect their lives and the lives of their children, come here seeking asylum?
