Donald Trump's proposal to move migrants into sanctuary cities raises logistical, legal issues

WASHINGTON – A myriad of logistical and legal obstacles await President Donald Trump if he follows through on his threat to place migrants arriving at the border into so-called sanctuary cities, a move apparently designed to punish Democrats for refusing to support his immigration policies.

Not only is the idea impractical and a misuse of government resources, experts said Friday, it also is illegal.

“Homeland security dollars are supposed to be used to protect national security, not go after your political opponents,” said Kerri Talbot, an attorney and federal advocacy director for the advocacy group the Immigration Hub.

Omar Jadwat, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Immigrants' Rights Project, dismissed the idea as “an absurd non-starter.”

You don't pack them into railcars and ship them off anywhere you please. What a monstrous thing to propose.

Fuck him.

We are going to make him look like a fool.

We will take care of whoever comes to our cities. We always do. We open up or public spaces. We feed and clothe. We will take care of them.
