Sounds like folks in sanctuary cities may be getting some new neighbors.

Great idea as far as I can see.

A good place to start would be Pelosi's front lawn.

It's about time we gave the left exactly what they have been asking for.
Can you imagine NYC and 'Frisco with no airplanes, no guns and plenty of MS13'ers and Jihadists? It could be a new reality TV hit!

Wasn't there a movie, Escape from New York?

I liked the idea a long time ago. The libs want illegals allowed to come and stay...as long as its not where they are. And yes, drop them off right at Pelosi's curb. And dont know why Trump dont want to do it, its a perfect solution to me.

No can do ... she lives in a gated community, you know, behind a WALL.

No can do, ?

We can do ! All I have been hearing for the last two years is that "walls don't work", .

Perfect solution President Trump ! Cards well played Sir !

Ah, I lied. I have heard more. "Illegal immigrants are a boost to the economy", "they make for a safer community".

Just so ya'll know, most of our illegal immigrants are already in sanctuary cities.

https://www.pewresearch.org...thorized-immigrants/
The only ones on this list that are not sanctuary cities seem to be:

Phoenix
Dallas-Ft Worth
Austin(Only because the state of Texas will not let them)
Houston(Only because the state of Texas will not let them)
Miami

I also did some googling on individual cities because certain states do not have "sanctuary city" polices. I counted cities that refuse to co-operate with ICE as sanctuary cities, "Freedom" cities, and cities with sanctuary policies.

Since that appears to be the case already, I wonder why the Progressives are objecting?

Because its a waste of money and there is no legal ground for it? It also splits up families in unnecessary ways.

The goal of this policy is not to solve the problem, the goal is to 'punish' liberals(which won't even work, because sanctuary cities do not see this as a punishment as they already have massive immigrant populations). There is such a huge push right not towards punishing the other side and turning democrats into the enemy that there is no actual focus on solutions. If we want to solve this problem, which I agree is a problem, we have to talk about solutions that actually work.

Solutions that work much better than a wall/enforcement:
- Economically and politically stable Latin American countries. We need to take responsibility for our actions as a country and realize that the lack of stability in many of these countries is a direct result of US interference.Source
- End the war on drugs. Our black market for illegal drugs funds many of the cartels in the area and is not reducing substance abuse in this country. We need to decriminalize the majority of drug use and focus on rehabilitation instead of sending everyone to prison. We need to treat addiction as a disease, not a legal problem. Source
- Increase trade between Latin countries and support human rights policies, the quicker that other countries catch up economically the less they can exploit us. After all, mexico is not stealing our jobs, automation is. Source
- To stop terrorism we need to focus on legal ports of entry, not the border. Source

There are many solutions to this problem, but a wall and enforcement is not one of them. Our money would be better spent in many, many other places.
