I’ve read too many stories of undocumented immigrants committing acts of violence against legal citizens, and how ICE wasn’t able to detain or deport them. If you think there are good reasons for a sanctuary city please share your thoughts.

Ten minutes of research should easily clarify this for you. Police departments need help from the community, not opposition, to solve crimes. That’s also why almost no local police departments participate in ICE’s 287(g) program. And most departments that have tried it, dropped out. Immigration is a federal matter. Cities and towns don’t have authority over immigration, so why should they get involved? It only leads to problems.

Would you prefer federal agents in your town then? How else will ICE know unless they're notified by state or local?

Every time someone is booked, their fingerprints and record are processed through the NCIC. If there is a hit on the DHS database, ICE is directly notified.

Now you know...

Yes, and so it's up to the Federal law enforcement to enforce that law, not local law enforcement. Maybe we should have ICE giving out speeding tickets.

Sanctuary Cities are dumb because they are saying open borders are fine. All you have to do is cross the border and make it to a sanctuary city and noone can touch you. Lower class people should be the most pissed about this driving down wages for everyone else.

Sanctuary cities aren't saying they are for open borders, since cities cannot determine whether the US has a border or not.

If lower class people are happy to work on farms, then indeed, they should be unhappy about low wages, but it doesn't appear they want farm jobs. Low wage workers should be unhappy with people like Trump who keep hiring foreign workers over US workers.

Dealing with invaders is more important than states rights.

Do you not realize that warrants exist? And they can be carried out -- you just need to go through the legislated process that you are supposed to.

Same good be said about the gun violence emergency. That's more important than the 2nd amendment. But here we are.

Are you going to vote for changing the laws and funding the resources to make this happen? Because you could do this legally, if you were committed to making it happen.

Are you, really, or are you just trolling for larks?

Being here without authorization is an administrative violation of federal law. It’s on ICE to enforce this law, not local police. All cities should be sanctuary cities.

This is flat out ignorance. Sorry dude, you have been lied to about what a "sanctuary city" is.

Wrong. “Lower class people” tend to be the most empathetic ones. Also wrong about no one can touch you in sanctuary cities. ICE and CBP operate with the same authority in every city, sanctuary or not.

Why is the term sanctuary city used? So the only thing sanctuary city means is that local cops won't run immigration checks on people?

In a nutshell, yes. It means local and state law enforcement will not do the work of federal law enforcement for them. Federal agencies and processes still apply as they were established -- nothing about that changes. It's just that federal enforcement has to go through the legal and established protocols to do their jobs.

Need some education on sanctuary cities. Prince George’s County is a sanctuary county. Are all cities and towns in PG sanctuary?
