If Thomas Edison hadnt repeatedly tried and failed (1,000 times), paid attention to results, and modified his approach to fix each flaw, the invention of the light bulb might have been in question. Trial, and error, admitting mistakes, acknowledging the obvious, and correcting course is the basis of scientific endeavor. Unfortunately, any such objective scrutiny of results and applied remedies is often missing in the public policy process, particularly when it comes to sanctuary policies for illegal aliens. Unlike Edison, leftist politicians who put in place sanctuary havens for lawbreakers now refuse to recognize the cause and effect of their colossalmistakes.

Yet, in the midst of Bidens Border Crisis that fuels massive flows of migrants to states and major urban areas within them, the evidence is now crystal clear: Sanctuary policies are an abject failure resulting in skyrocketing costs, increased gangs, drugs, crime, housing shortages, and publicoutcry.

Sanctuary policies generally referring to municipalities (or even entire states) that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities exist in some 600 cities and counties. Three sanctuary jurisdictions, in particular, are currently experiencing dramatic cause and effect due to theirpolicies.

George Bernard Shaw once observed, No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answers are obvious. While sanctuary-supporting politicians, blinded by the pursuit of power and corrupted by special interests, may have difficulty seeing the obvious, the citizens of New York, Chicago, and Boston can see it, and for them the answer is easy: End sanctuary policiesnow.

Sanctuary policies lack any inherent public benefit and impose adverse impact on local communities. They must be reversed because if not now in the middle of unprecedented turmoil with incontrovertible proof of failure, then when if ever would it betime?
