Does ICE facility warrant ending Surprise cityhood?

OPINION — I just read an article that revealed the next in a long line of absurd stunts aimed at Arizona by leftists. Do they actually think that their ongoing tantrum against the much-needed ICE detention facility here justifies decertifying Surprise as a city?

Who in the heck do these people think they are? If they can coerce 70,000 others who are gullible and easily deceived to agree with their ballot measure, then the safe, clean, pleasant and attractive well-run city of Surprise will lose the first-rate services we now enjoy and we’ll end up battling Maricopa County for fractions of those same services.

Very easy to understand that we will pay more and get less. All of this because a tiny sliver of rabble-rousers and their hangers-on don’t like the idea of illegals and violent criminals, all with extensive criminal records, being taken out of circulation in order to safeguard the rest of us. I’d be surprised if any of them even live in Surprise.
