Victor Davis Hanson critiques sanctuary cities and modern social trends

Victor Davis Hanson has provided commentary regarding the current state of American culture and the legal implications of sanctuary cities.

Hanson describes the contemporary era as a “modern medieval world,” suggesting a societal split where one segment progresses rapidly while another regresses toward conditions reminiscent of the post-Roman period, such as poor sanitation and lack of centralized security.

Addressing the topic of sanctuary cities, Hanson argues that these jurisdictions are unconstitutional. He posits that if conservative movements were to adopt similar states' rights arguments, they might attempt to ignore federal mandates, such as the Endangered Species Act or federal firearm registration requirements.
