Sanctuary Cities

Share

All over the United States, there exist a series of cities where mayors and governors welcome refugees and offer sanctuary. By and large, these cities attract lawbreakers, usurpers, and the rabble by which tyrants gain power (directly through force of their arms or indirectly by making villains of them). The cities welcome illegal aliens or those fleeing the jurisdiction in which they commit a crime, and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.

Every refuge for the righteous is eventually encroached upon. My ancestors fled persecution for their religion, first to Plymouth and then to Deseret Territory. As they became prosperous, other people grew jealous thereof and attempted to lord over them. Sanctuary cities however serve as gathering grounds for the jealous, from which they can launch their campaigns to conquer the profitable and put them into bondage and then glut themselves from our labors. The denizens of such cities are and idle people, full of mischief and subtlety, who believe they were wronged by people they’ve never met and deserve exigent mercy their acts notwithstanding. CS Lewis said on his radio broadcast that “what you are comes through in what you do”, and they show themselves by their defiance of our law as the enemies of civilization.

Offering a sanctuary for lawbreakers undermines the premise of right and the rule of law. A society without law cannot endure, for it undermines all the purpose for society. Said Thomas Paine, “Society is created by our wants, government by our wickedness…for were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, mankind would need no other lawgiver.” The fact of the matter is that people do NOT listen to themselves, and sometimes they won’t even fear the law.

People who defy the law run away from themselves. They really want to escape consequences, which is contrary to all the laws of the physical world and to the demands of justice on the universe at large. Said an ancient prophet: And if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is no righteousness. And if there be no righteousness there be no happiness. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there be no punishment nor misery. And if these things are not there is no God. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

Without law, what is the point?

Santuary cities therefore eliminate all reason and rationale for a civilized society and for the advent of men. They constitute a part of a greater plot to reduce mankind to the level of the Austrelopithecine, so that the few who tell us it’s for our own good may lord over us and use us as their beasts of burden. As they tell us to rage against the machine, remember that it is the law which gives us what we know. If we remove the law, we change the equation, and then it will be the end of the world as we know it.
