Philadelphia mayor’s first act is to make Philly a Sanctuary City

Before taking office on Monday as the 99th mayor of Philadelphia, the 57-year old Democrat served on the City Council for more than two decades before being elected mayor in November.

During his time as a councilman, Kenney worked on inequality, immigration, gay rights and criminal justice reform.

What could go wrong?

A breakdown of the Chicago killing fields shows that 83% of those murdered in Chicago in one year had criminal records. In Philly, it’s 75%. In Milwaukee it’s 77% percent. In New Orleans, it’s 64%. In Baltimore, it’s 91%. Many were felons who had served time. And as many as 80% of the homicides were gang related.

Gun control efforts in Chicago, Philadelphia, or any other major city are doomed because gangs represent organized crime networks which stretch down to Mexico. And Democrats pander to those gangs because it helps them get elected.
