Dear Mr. Clay,
Thank you for expressing your concerns about the resolution. I encourage you to review the resolution when it is published on Thursday. The resolution does not establish Homer as a sanctuary city, it is really a resolution stating
inclusion and respect for diversity of all types and does not focus on those who are in the U.S. without documentation. The resolution does not advocate not following local, state, or federal law. (Sorry for the double negative there, not sure how else to
make that statement.)

Dear Homer city council,
This letter comes in response to the HCCouncil's upcoming consideration on a resolution to make Homer a sanctuary city.
It is my strong belief that this is a very bad idea.
Our country, state and local governments are based on the rule of law.
Presently there are laws on the books that allow individuals to be prosecuted / deported if they have entered the country illegally. If society chooses not to enforce these laws, what's to stop others from picking and choosing which laws to enforce and
which to ignore? When that happens, you're not too far from anarchy.
Laws are in place for an ordered society.
I implore you to not allow this resolution to move forward.
If you choose to not abide by the laws in place , you leave the citizens of this community few options to protect them selves from lawlessness.
Thank you for your consideration.
Phil Clay
