[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why people are so upset with Tx and FL for transporting immigrants to sanction cities. I've heard is that it's unfair to the people being sent. [b]My question is that if a city declares itself as a sanction city, then it is stating that they welcome and can accommodate the influx of people[/b]. So, why is it so wrong to send people to cities that can accommodate them?[/quote]

1. Sanctuary cities were designated thus to prevent undocumented residents from living in a constant state of fear of being deported at any moment and for the safety of the undocumented (who are often among the most vulnerable residents) because they are less likely to ask for help from the police and other local government representatives if they fear deportation. For cities that have large percentages of immigrants, legal or otherwise, that makes a lot of sense. I have a relative who is a mayor of a mid-size city and they reiterated this position. This does not translate into telling people to come to that city and promising to accommodate them.

2. [b]Transporting people across state lines under false pretense is immoral and possibly illegal.

This is not happening.  The migrants WANT to go to the cities where they are sent.  
And, if NY or LA or Chicago have an issue with it, then they need to stop with the message that "All are welcome here."[/quote]
