He didn’t outright declare that we should be a sanctuary city-he was actually pretty equivocal-but he is an elected Democrat. The son of the former Secretary of State under President Jimmy Carter, in fact.

I mostly skimmed this article but I take it that that Mr. Vance is a Democrat and probably in line with whether or not NYC would support being a sanctuary city?

Great summary of the key items addressed in Vance’s speech. I especially liked your take on the Rockfellar/Lindsay Republicans. A couple of weeks ago at the Republican E83 Street Republican venue, a woman who was actually rather visously assaulted by an illegal immigrant received no synpathy from the Republican councilman Eric Ulrich seemd to me to be as close to a Democrat anyone could be. He was not for aggressive enforcement subscribing to the false belief that it would cause communities to shut the police out. I agree with you that this line of thinking is basicly nonsensical in the same way using the phrase “Islamic Terrorist” will make the “beheaders” really angry!
