Lol... Is that one of the "facts" they teach you in your "Real news" right-wing sources? No wonder conservatives are generally so ignorant. I'm sure the economic growth is immense in Dumbf*ck, Idaho where conservatives abound..
Keep in mind, most illegal aliens in these sanctuary cities pay no taxes. Many do not work, and our taxes pay for their support, medical care, and their illegal children go our schools that we pay taxes for. They are a drain on the economy and our taxes. If you do not mind paying to support the illegal aliens go ahead. I will not.
Let's be honest, majority of people talking trash about sanctuary cities can't afford to live in them, at least live in a decent neighborhood, maybe Watts.
I make at least double the median income and I can barely afford to live in an average working class neighborhood in Chicago, no way in hell could I afford to live in a decent hood in NY or San Francisco (now I'm talking about owning not renting)
