What “Sanctuary” Looks Like

by

I feel comfortable saying that there are a small number of registered Democrats who would take a homeless “migrant” into their home and a few more who genuinely believe “sanctuary policies are about doing good, but most of them wouldn’t give a migrant the time of day especially the ones in elected office. It’s virtue signaling and bait and switch.

“Democrats” and everyone else discovered this under the watchful eye of Border Tsar Kam-ala Harris. The overseer (as in, look the other way) of the Biden Admininstrations displacement agenda. And before you cry misinformation, if it’s not displacement, what is it? I wrote a few words on the subject here.

The question isn’t: can it be prevented, limited, restricted, controlled, managed, vetted, or any other term? The question is why it isn’t. This is bad for America: public health, safety, quality of life, longevity, the economy, the climate, crime, resource management, and national safety. We must therefore ask, are these negative outcomes the goal, or is there a different one, and what is that? The answer to this is any number of well-worn theories about replacement or displacement, which gain increasing credibility if the harms are not the goal.

Conversely, by denying that this is about replacement or displacement and assuming an unwillingness to admit complete incompetence in place of malice, what other conclusions are we to draw? We must assume that the Biden-Harris administration wanted rising foreign disease, drug gangs, and overdose deaths, more crime, cultural division, and strained public resources.

Martha’s Vinyard (Pronounced Vin YOD) famously frog-marched a surprise gift of illegals off the quaint, well-heeled island in under 48 hours. The armed escort was for the illegals’ health and safety. Nearby Nantucket must not have been able to claim they lacked the resources or services for proper care and feeding because there are Alien Invaders in their midst. And it’s not anything like the glossy tri-fold brochure.

Six arrests on Nantucket by ICE — all six accused of assaulting (or even a direct allegation of raping) children, all six released by local authorities who refuse to honor ICE detainers, never mind that they shouldn’t be in the US in the first place as every one of them is here illegally.

Nantucket has 14,445 people (off-season pop., as far as I can tell). About 3,000 of those are under the age of 20, and about 1600 of those are under the age of fifteen.

I can’t say how many illegal migrants were deposited on Nantucket, but it has recently (since COVID) experienced a 10% demographic shift away from mostly white. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I think it does these elite enclaves good to walk the talk, but within that mix are some number of criminal aliens who are raping children in a state with a catch and release process similar to that of the US Government – except, where do you release them too?

That might be why Nantucket invited ICE to come and remove these alleged offenders, but at what cost and how many children too late?

On Sept. 16, ERO Boston announced the Sept. 10 arrest of 28-year-old Salvadoran illegal immigrant Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo, who is charged with one count of rape of a child with a 10-year age difference and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. It is unclear when and where Aldana-Arevalo entered the United States.

Elmer Sola unlawfully entered the United States, then made his way into our Nantucket community before allegedly committing some horrific and despicable crimes against a child,” Lyons said. “The officers of ERO Boston will not tolerate such a threat to the children of our New England neighborhoods.”

On Sept. 17, ERO officials announced the Sept. 11 arrest of Gean Do Amaral Belafronte, an illegal immigrant from Brazil who is charged with indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years or older. 

ERO Boston on Tuesday announced a second arrest that occurred on Sept. 11. Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez, a 41-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was charged with a sex crime against a Nantucket resident. He was arraigned on Aug. 19 for indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years or older and arrested on Sept. 11.

ERO Boston on Thursday announced the Sept. 12 arrest of 30-year-old, Angel Gabriel Deras-Mejia, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant and documented member of MS-13.

Angel Gabriel Deras-Mejia unlawfully entered the United States then made his way to Massachusetts, to apparently commit crimes of violence,” Lyons said. “To make matters worse, Deras-Mejia is a documented member of a notorious transnational criminal organization and represents a significant threat to the residents of Nantucket.”

“And from the what comes around” department, ICE is arresting criminal aliens on Martha’s VinYOD as well.

This is what they voted for, and they didn’t even know it, so the exit question has to be: What else don’t they know or won’t know until the evil in their party has claimed that part of their lives? It’s a long list, and they’re not ready to hear it, even after this. But that is no reason to stop trying.
