Disconnected leaders in Rockland County, NY thought their constituents would approve of their county becoming a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. The proposal looked to go through until Rockland County residents showed up in the hundreds to assure their leaders didn’t move to choose foreigners’ best interests over Americans’ best interests.
The call by GOP lawmakers set off the alarms that inspired the immediate, strong reaction from the citizens needed to quell this act of insurrection before it ever started. The GOP legislators warned, “This legislation prioritizes ideology over safety, weakens cooperation between levels of government, and places unnecessary financial and security burdens on our community. Ultimately, sanctuary counties fail the most basic responsibility of government: protecting the public. No political statement is worth compromising safety, accountability, or the rule of law.”

“This legislation prioritizes ideology over safety, weakens cooperation between levels of government, and places unnecessary financial and security burdens on our community.”
Rockland County in New York is dropping its efforts to declare itself a “sanctuary” jurisdiction after facing public backlash and concerns from law enforcement.
On Tuesday night, hundreds gathered at the Rockland County Legislature to protest the proposal, which would prevent local law enforcement from working with federal immigration agents to apprehend those who are in the US illegally. Patriot protesters filled the legislative chambers, forcing many to wait outside. Amid the pressure, legislators pulled the vote, saying they would revisit it in March and hold another public hearing.
