Even if one favors "sanctuary cities" they don't favor "open borders".


I view "sanctuary for all" as an extension of that poem, yes. If as a nation we were generally open to taking in the "tired and poor" as the poem goes, then there's no need for sanctuary cities. I think immigration is a foreign policy issue, so I am not particularly on board with local govt's trying to usurp the feds on this issue.

The dems want to eliminate the need for sanctuary cities, by being more open to immigration in general (thus having more legals and fewer illegals - maybe a guest worker program). You can disagree with that, but it's not the same as "open borders", which is the semantic loop I've allowed myself to get stuck in here.
