Apparently, Trump says that by releasing large numbers of illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, he is trying to overwhelm the sanctuary cities in hopes of causing them to collapse.
It's not exactly a nice tactic by any means, and to me, it seems a bit dirty and fishy.
No, but according to the people who support sanctuary cities taking on illegal immigrants will not cause the cities to collapse.
I'm with Fnord this plan makes perfect sense (if the administration can get the courts to sign off on it). Places in the country that think we should be taking on illegal immigrants volunteer to do so. Places that think we should be deporting illegal immigrants, get to move them quickly to another U.S. locale with a clean conscience.
From a humanitarian perspective immigrants are almost certainly better off in sanctuary cities than border detention centers.
If, the sanctuary cities find themselves overwhelmed, it is proof positive that blanket acceptance of illegal immigrants is poor policy.
I'm not a Trump fan, but will give him credit where credit is due.
