Reply to comment by Unconfidence in Colorado to stop busing migrants after pleas from NYC and Chicago mayors by callingforduty

What’s ridiculous is state’s and cities publicly advertising themselves as sanctuaries that will shelter and support illegal immigrants and then working out deals with other states to stop immigrants from getting to the self proclaimed sanctuaries. Not fair? It’s not fair to turn your back on the people you welcomed and promised to protect.

Yes border security is a federal responsibility, border states have been calling this out for years while sanctuary states and cities have promised to undermine border protections by sheltering people violating the U.S. border laws.

Also, we consider what Texas and Florida did to be human trafficking, isn’t preventing them from going where they want kidnapping?

Just a clarification- sanctuary cities simply means they are going to use local funds to support and enforce local laws and regulations. Federal funds should be used for federal laws and regulations, such as immigration. They aren’t saying they’re a safe haven for immigrants, they’re saying that they’re not going to arrest someone solely for being an undocumented immigrant and hold them for who knows how long for ICE to show up and deport them, spending lots of resources on someone who isn’t actually a danger to the community.

As much as it's kidnapping for me not to buy you a bus ticket where you want to go.
