California’s sanctuary city no more

San Francisco used to shield juvenile illegal immigrants — even convicted criminals — from deportation. It was right to stop the practice.

Is Los Angeles some kind of “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants? People on all sides of the debate like to think so. Those who want to protect the immigrants and their families use the term with a certain bravado, as if to stress that their city has adopted a firm and unique moral stance. Those who want the immigrants out use it too, but as an expression of derision for what they insist is the flouting of federal immigration law.

There is no doubt that Los Angeles is a capital of illegal immigration, based on numbers alone. But a sanctuary city? L.A., take a seat. If you want to see what a real sanctuary city does, have a look at San Francisco.
