Many cities such as San Francisco have a multitude of unsolvable problems such as poverty, ineptness, homelessness, and squalor. Yet each has a small population of wealthy and rich people with guilt problems. It is possible such localities have taken to heart the nature of “sanctuary” for the similarly impoverished group of aliens, sympathetic but small enough to manage as a substitute problem.  Cleansing guilt through sanctuary this way is little more than throwing crumbs at the real problem they are indisposed to solve.

"If you believe in sanctuary cities, you have a religion where you get to feel good about yourself, you don’t actually have to do anything, and others pay for your faith. " - Anon.  (Convenient!   The take-away here is that we mustn’t call the intellectual left stupid anymore.   They did dream this one up!)

There is a problem in Kentucky. There is a problem in San Francisco. There is a problem in GITMO, the Guantanamo Bay facility, housing Islamic terrorists.  For the first, a county clerk refuses to issue marriage licenses to gays. She faces a judge on a contempt of court citation, and with that possible jail time.  For the second, illegals are being released even if they are felons. It seems clear that sanctuary city San Francisco citizens are more far tolerant of criminals than most other cities.  For the third, there is the question of what to do with inmates under the Administration desire to close the GITMO facility. So, we have the situation where a person acting on conscious and harming no one faces the full force of the law including jail, where wanted felons are released from custody as a matter of city policy, and where we do have dangerous people needing housing - but not in Cuba. Resolutions: The poor woman in Kentucky is toast, done in by the law and the ACLU.
