Sanctuary sanctimony

Sun., Nov. 25, 2018

Whoops! What has the governor and the attorney general got us into? Republic, Washington, is voting on becoming a sanctuary city in order to ignore voter initiative I-1639 (the anti-gun initiative). The governor and the attorney general said Washington is a sanctuary state and is going to ignore federal immigration laws. They have fostered lawlessness by their action and now it has filtered down. How are the two public officials who swore to uphold the Constitution going to square Republic’s action with their own actions?
