Why send them to DC and make them the burden of DC residents and taxpayers?

It's a federal issue, which takes action by Congress to do anything about it.

Don't you know that DC residents and taxpayers have no representation and no vote in Congress?[/quote]

What’s the punishment? Welcoming hard working people who want to be here into our community.

Being a sanctuary city comes with responsibilities. [/quote]

All that "sanctuary city" means is that the city does not enforce federal laws.   And, it's not their job to enforce federal laws.[/quote]

And that comes with responsibilities. I don’t get why you’re so opposed to immigrants.[/quote]

By "responsibilities" you mean you feel DC should be punished - for not doing something that is not their job, but the federal government's job to do, and for which DC receives no federal dollars to do.   And again, DC has no say in immigrant policy.  We don't have a vote.  If you want federal action on this, you need to send them to places that DO have a vote.[/quote][/quote]

Were you not able to vote in the most recent presidential election?[/quote]
They need to bring civics back to middle and high school. You seem slow if you don’t know the basic between creating laws.

With that said, I do like some of the proposals in the new Republican Congress immigration bill, but it fails to address DACA. As such, it’s dead on arrival. And that’s if and only if they can get the southern rural congressmen to sign on. It seems they don’t like the e-verify requirement in the bill because they need migrants out in the fields picking crops. E-verify is a non-starter for that group of republicans. [/quote]
