The limousine liberal gentry of Cambridge, Mass. are extending the welcome mat to illegal immigrants invaders.
From the WAPO:
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- This famously liberal city is serving notice that illegal immigrants are welcome, even while Congress is considering tough new penalties. Police won't harass you. Education and health care are available.
Here's the hitch: You probably can't afford to live here.
Back in 1985, when Cambridge first declared itself a "sanctuary city," rent control kept apartments affordable.
Today, however, Cambridge no longer has rent control; cheap apartments were turned into luxury condominiums and the city -- home of Harvard and MIT -- is among the most expensive places to live in the United States. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is around $1,400 a month.
If this wasn’t so patently stupid (and quite possibly illegal itself) it would be hilarious! You gotta wonder if they know they really don’t have to worry much – that this is just another example of style over substance.
If and when the Congress passes comprehensive immigration legislation, a big proviso in there needs to state in no uncertain terms that cities and states that harbor illegal immigrants invaders and give them sanctuary will lose federal funding as soon as such a policy or ordinance is in place.
