I'm not comfortable with this resistance. These people broke the law. They are illegal immigrants. I may not like the new president, but he's the president. And they should not be disobeying federal agents, regardless.
Being a sanctuary city really ticks me off - you guys aren't above the law. The law is that illegal immigrants came into this country and broke the law.
Take your 5th grade concept of morality somewhere else.
This isn't 5th grade morality. We have borders and an immigration system for a reason. We have a process to deal with legal migrants and otherwise.
When you break the law, by crossing the border, that's really breaking the law, a necessary one. I hate to say it, but Trump is not entirely wrong on immigration on the whole, aside from mass deportation.
Sanctuary cities seem to be basically "Screw you, what do you want to do about it" to the federal government, when the federal government has a constitutional and functional obligation to manage our immigration system.
So... they broke the law by "crossing the border" (which goes to show that you're really just anti-Latino)... but we shouldn't mass deport them?
Would you instead like to just hold them in animal cages and deport them at a slow, steady pace?
Let's face it. If we enacted the economic realities necessary to make cheap immigrant labor unnecessary, you would be bitching about the price of strawberries and janitors. You'd be real ticked off.
Instead you want their labor but you also want them living in fear because "THE LAW IS THERE FOR A REASON! SORRY BUT TRUMP IS RIGHT!"
Barf me out. Gag me with a spoon.
