PRINCETON: Shame on council for supporting sanctuary status

During President Obama’s final State of the Union address, he proclaimed that the United States is a nation of laws. Well, apparently not, Mr. President.
When Attorney General Loretta Lynch was recently asked by Congress to explain what she is doing to enforce a law against so-called “sanctuary cities,“ she squirmed and said that she needed to study the issue and report back.
An attorney general who won’t enforce the law. What an absolute disgrace!
So I sat this evening reading an article in The Princeton Packet about an illegal alien, Arnoldo Agreda-Rodriquez, who assaulted a woman in Princeton and told her during the attack, “this is the last time I will see your face.“ Chilling.
Of course my thoughts immediately went to the family of Kate Steinle, a beautiful young American woman brutally murdered by an illegal alien who was shielded by a sanctuary city.
My heart sank further and my head spun as I read the last paragraph of the article which contained a quote from Princeton Councilwoman Jo S. Butler, “it will fuel the fire of those who think we shouldn’t be a sanctuary city.“
Indeed, Councilwoman Butler, indeed, the flames have been fanned. A nation of laws? I could not help think of Shakespeare’s line from Richard III: “the world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.“
The world has indeed turned upside down. Shame on the Princeton Council for supporting this outrageous notion of sanctuary cities. A plague on all your houses! 
