We understand that Massachusetts is considering a statute to bring Immigration Sanctuary to the entire State, and we have been asked to offer our view of what that could mean realistically. Having several hundred years of combined experience in the field of American Immigration and being a nonpartisan organization, we will be relatively brief in our commentary in comparison to the magnitude of the issue.

The primary purpose of the Immigration Laws of the United States is to protect National Security and Public Safety part of which is safeguarding public health and the economy.

An unknown number in the equation if not intentionally over-looked is communicable diseases that aliens bring, especially minor children. Diseases like measles that were practically wiped out in America is back and dramatically increasing. https://emergency.cdc.gov/coca/calls/2019/callinfo_052119.asp And one of the most insidious diseases is AFM, (acute-flaccid-myelitis) https://www.cdc.gov/acute-flaccid-myelitis/cases-in-us.html . Which many suspect arrived in the United States in August 2014 with the surge of minor Central American children and remains a significant problem today though difficult to diagnose and treat. It has polio like symptoms and mainly affects younger children.

Similarly, an unknown number of aliens that enter the United States illegally are not apprehended at the border and travel into the interior otherwise unnoticed. These aliens probably are the more aggressive type and such opportunity to locate in a sanctuary jurisdiction would definitely appeal to the criminal element. What Sanctuary would do would be to provide an incentive to the criminal element to travel to and reside in Massachusetts which logically would result in increased criminal activity especially resulting in dangerous drugs in public schools and a dramatic increase is sexual assaults against minor children as young as preschool age. https://www.libertynation.com/illegal-immigrants-child-sexual-assault-epidemic/ We should mention the increased costs of public education, https://nationaleconomicseditorial.com/2018/01/24/illegal-immigration-destroys-american-schools/ , which further disadvantages American children.

This is a thumbnail sketch of what Sanctuary will reasonably bring Massachusetts and is not all inclusive.

Sanctuary basically is formally ignoring and not participating in the 287 (g) program with Department of Homeland Security which is designed to identify aliens illegally in the United States that have been arrested and detained by local police for violating state and local laws and notifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the release date of that criminal illegal alien so that illegal alien can be removed from the United States rather than turned back on the street in the community.

By passing a Sanctuary Law Massachusetts would be providing political protection to criminal activity committed by illegal aliens in general and specifically to the operatives engaged in the transnational drug trade bringing marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and fentanyl into the United States for distribution and sale. https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/new-york-city-hub-deadly-drug-trade-michael-cutler/ Sanctuary then is a decision with known consequences.
