REVOKE MASSACHUSETTS’ SANCTUARY STATUS
Sanctuary Policies Compound Illegal Immigration
Each year, millions of aliens deliberately violate our nation’s laws by illegally crossing U.S. borders or overstaying their visas. The problem has grown dramatically in recent years, as the number of migrants crossing the southern border has reached historic levels.
Currently, there are no signs that illegal immigration will slow. In December 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered over 371,000 illegal aliens at our borders in a single month, the highest ever recorded figure. This has set the U.S. on track to have yet another record year of illegal immigration in FY 2024.
Compounding this lawlessness are sanctuary policies followed by towns, cities, counties, states, and other jurisdictions that restrict most forms of cooperation with federal immigration authorities. They are explicitly forbidden under federal law (8 USC § 1373) and violate the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) and the 10th Amendment.
PETITION DRIVE TO REVOKE MASSACHUSETTS WOKE SANCTUARY STATUS
In July 2017, Massachusetts’ Supreme Judicial Court issued a ruling in the Lunn v. Commonwealth case which effectively made it a sanctuary state. This undermines the rule of law by violating federal immigration policies. Ultimately, illegal immigration creates dire economic consequences, and severely impacts our schools, neighborhoods, hospitals, and emergency rooms, the courts and law enforcement. And we the taxpayers are picking up the tab!
