Question pertaining to the Law.... It seems to me that sometimes I get so caught up in the frustrating & irritating effects of things, that I don't take the time to look at the simplest things!  Case in point:           ILLEGAL Aliens, Sanctuary Cities/States, etc.  Question:        Is  Aiding and Abetting a Criminal and/or Fugitive is against the law in the United States of America? If yes, then would it not be a crime for any American Citizen (including those who hold elected government positions) to provide a person or persons who have entered the United States without permission (AKA ILLEGALLY which IS a criminal act)  "sanctuary" and/or offer them financial/housing/food etc. assistance ?   Further I would ask this: Is it against the law to hide these same criminals (yes, they are criminals, according to Federal Law) from law enforcement officials? Seriously, I may be asking obvious questions here, but it seems that sometimes the obvious questions also offer the obvious answers to the problem.  Perhaps the way to stop this entire stupid debate about "the wall" and "ILLEGAL Immigrants" is simply to pressure the District Attorneys of Sanctuary States/Cities to prosecute the Governors/Mayors for aiding and abetting criminals.  Perhaps the Federal side of this would be to publicly pressure the DOJ to indict any state/local District Attorneys who refuse to prosecute these crimes with RICO charges (for conspiring with Governors/Mayors to protect and give aid to criminals)? Thoughts?
