Not the same. Sanctuary City says not enforcing immigration laws. |

Pritsker, 2021 
Pritzker, 2024 "There are plenty of other cities where, if he's gonna send people, they could be sent — but no, he's choosing only Democratic states, Democratic cities..." i.e...... STOP SENDING THE MIGRANTS TO ILLINOIS! When you make life easier for people who break our laws, and enter the US illegally, why are you surprised when they want to come to your state? And, why is anyone surprised when more and more keep coming? |

Democrats need to organize a protest at the Capitol. Thousands of Democrats need to show up holding signs like “Close the Border” and “Pass HR-2” and “End Birthright Citizenship.” No republicans will dare go protest at the Capitol ever again, so Democrats are going to have to do it. No republican wants to risk getting thrown in prison for 20 years. But a protest from Democrats will be tolerated. So someone organize it and get out there and do it!!! |

Current law requires asylum seekers to be able to apply for asylum and have their cases heard. Is the Biden Admin not doing that part? I do agree that something needs to be done, but which immigration law is the Biden Admin not following? They even retained the rule that forces asylum seekers to remain in MX until their case is heard. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/13/title-42-migration-biden-new-policy-tougher The problem is that the system is overloaded. People come here because they know someone will give them a job. Who's giving them jobs? Is it the crunchy progressive MOMS shopping liberal? Or is it the R, low tax supporting lawncare company owner? |

He can deport using Title 8 like Obama did. This is what Mayorkas said in May: "Starting at midnight, people who arrive at our southern border will be subject to our immigration enforcement authorities under Title Eight of the United States Code," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a White House briefing Thursday afternoon. "Here is what that means. If anyone arrives at our southern border after midnight tonight, they will be presumed ineligible for asylum and subject to steeper consequences for unlawful entry, including a minimum five-year ban on reentry and potential criminal prosecution," he warned. "The transition to Title Eight processing will be swift and immediate," he said. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/title-8-immigration-law/story?id=99226848#:~:text=Title%208%2C%20which%20includes%20decades,were%20afforded%20under%20Title%2042. Are they doing this? Hell no! Nothing in our law requires "asylum-seekers" (in quotes because most are not eligible and they know it) to remain in the US. The law reads: "If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States." https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-and-asylum/asylum#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20eligible%20for,arrival%20to%20the%20United%20States. In fact, the law requires the US to detain these people: "The law also mandates that all those seeking asylum in the United States shall be detained, "pending a final resolution of credible fear of persecution, and, if found not to have such a fear, until removed."94 This can mean months of detention in one of the immigration centers or local jails around the country used by ..." https://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports98/us-immig/Ins989-04.htm#:~:text=The%20law%20also%20mandates%20that,around%20the%20country%20used%20by Biden could be doing a lot. But, he isn't. So, we can only assume that this is part of his plan - to flood this country with under educated, under skilled people. |

Why isn't this being enforced and an orderly process put in place? People who are trying to follow procedures and use the immigration app that is in place or trying to enter via official ports of entry should be prioritized. People who rush the boarder should automatically be deemed inadmissible. All it would take would be for highly publicized deportation flights to take place to get the word out. |

Gov. Abbott is simply following IL law:
Illinois is officially a ‘sanctuary state’ for immigrants https://www.chicagotribune.com/hoy/ct-hoy-illinois-is-officially-a-sanctuary-state-for-immigrants-20170828-story.html (Sometimes it is a good idea to think through the consequences of policies that make for good PR) |

His disability has made him an emasculated, angry, and spiteful man. He’s just rollin on revenge and stickin it to the Dems. He can’t protect himself and he didn’t protect Uvalde. |

| What is Texas supposed to do with these people? Better to send them to other states. |

Better yet - Biden get off his duff and start enforcing immigration laws. |

DP. What are you even talking about? The illegal immigrants given bus rides to NYC and Chicago are the *lucky* ones. Do you actually think they'd prefer to be stuck a border detention center or sleeping on the streets of El Paso? They were given free rides to the city of their choosing, where many of them already have family (other illegal immigrants) living. You are straining credibility by pretending anyone was misled here. Get a grip. |

DP. Great, then what Abbott is doing is working. Chicago and NYC are becoming overburdened, much like border states, though to a much tinier degree. They're getting a taste of what many claimed was "not a crisis" and their outrage might FINALLY make Biden sit up and take notice. Because it certainly didn't when the outrage was coming from red states. |
