Should sanctuary cities be tolerated?

There is nothing racist about wanting to remove illegal aliens. Ask China, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan. They do it all the time but you don't care, because you and others have a very racist double standard when it comes to immigration enforcement.

People are illegally in the USA? Old stuff. Is it a problem?...

It's a problem that most countries in the world recognize, but for some reason you only care when the USA tries to deal with it, because of your racist double standard when it comes to immigration enforcement.

Not much. Not compared to government and corporate corruption.

Thank you for being honest that you don't think immigration enforcement is something that a society should be worried about. Good to know you are happy with your tax dollars being wasted, tens of billions of dollars on people who do not have the right to be here.

Okay so I guess that means you won't complain when States stop enforcing the Civil Rights Act? Gotcha.

Apparently you don't.

How about the Presidential elections Act? Or Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution?

And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

We benefit far more than it costs.

What a pathetic and dishonest derail. I expect better of you.

No, I was pointing out that you are easily as selective in the enforcement of American laws. Trump should have gone to prison for his acts in attempting to steal the 2020 election. But you're concerned about some poor immigrant trying to earn a living.

Sounds plausible. But do we have numbers to verify that? I wonder how we can even identify, let alone calculate, the costs of undocumented immigration, especially in the present fraught atmosphere. Everybody has an opinion, and they all want everybody else to shut up.

I think numbers are already being tallied to measure the cost of a depleted supply of immigrant labor.

Howsomever: Surely the wealthiest society in all of history can handle this situation in a decent way. Even in an intelligent way.

It has EVERYTHING to do with the thread. If you believe that the United States should be a nation of laws, then you can't be arbitrary and capricious in their enforcement.
