The word “corrupt” stresses a loss of moral integrity or probity causing betrayal of principle or sworn obligations. Sanctuary for illegal immigrants, protecting them from arrest by immigration authorities, is corrupt in concept, corrupt in effect, and illegal.
Take California as a good example of a bad practice found nationwide. It is the largest and most unapologetic sanctuary state. It has laws that forbid state and local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with immigration enforcement. If the Highway Patrol stops a van full of illegal immigrants being driven to their destination in a sex trafficking scheme, they are not allowed to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
