The Cost of Being a Sanctuary City

July 3, 2008

Wikipedia states that a sanctuary city generally does “not allow municipal funds or resources to be used to enforce federal immigration laws.” I think this definition is biased and am surprised that Wikipedia hasn’t already flagged it. Stated otherwise, a sanctuary city is one that permits municipal funds and resources to be squandered to circumvent federal immigration laws. In the case of San Francisco, the city has spent $2.3 million since 2003 incarcerating immigrant youth instead of turning them over to the feds for deportation. While the City has a bad rap for its anti-business climate, it does welcome enterprising illegal immigrant drug dealers with open arms.
