Are sanctuary cities a better for undocument migrants or are they worse for illegal immigrants?

I live in upstate NY and would welcome migrants. If NYC is overwhelmed we could totally accommodate up here. We have jobs to fill and a distinct lack of decent ethnic cuisine. Let’s do this.

But this is the thing, I don’t know if the idea is even evil so much as it is just procedurally stupid and revealing of their thought process.

Trump might be able to shoot a man in Times Square and get elected, but I’m not sure if using immigrant babies as a revenge plot will go over so hot.

i think you’re overestimating his base’s compassion and much of the rest of the country’s willingness to look the other way.

I’m sure that a big chunk of his base will think this is fine and dandy.

You mean the fake news trucks? They’d do anything to besmirch the good name of the Donald.

If SDNY can get moving, they might be able to seize Trump Tower in time to house many of these people seeking asylum.
