In Sanctuary Cities, American Lives Don’t Matter, by Brian Lonergan

By Brian Lonergan, Chronicles - America’s “sanctuary” communities claim to possess higher levels of compassion for others, but the reality is that the measure of a human life in these places has quietly been assigned a hierarchical value based on immigration status.
