NIMBY's

The migrant situation in New York City is an example of not in my back yard. It was magnanimous when they announced the sanctuary city status. A sanctuary city is a city whose municipal laws tend to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation or prosecution, despite federal immigration law. Many even quoted the Stature of Liberty, give me your tired and your poor to show how compassionate they were. This was well and good when the migrants were a thousand miles away but when they got closer to home things changed. The mayors of a number of sanctuary cities began to move migrants into other cities (deportation) without asking the permission of these other places. Then they turned to Washington for financial help something they were quiet about when the migrants were far away. It is a lot like rich people who live in gated communities and say we should have fewer Blacks prison. Many of these people have personal body guards.
