Immigration is a federal issue. States have no right to undermine that.

Problem is, immigration is very complicated and difficult. If it were more straight forward, people would come here the legal way. But it's a crazy system so people come here illegally. Fix the immigration system. No, I do not support sanctuary cities or states and I have already called my congress people to let them know. (Liberal Democrat here, of course--not all of us/probably most of us do not support illegals but we DO support LEGAL immigration.)

Repeat after me. Employers could - in one month - clean up millions of these situations.
But they don't and they won't because.

1. Immigrants work smarter and harder than you.
2. The Bosses make more money this way.

Think of it like organized crime - called the Republican Party and Corporate Profits. It's the very foundation of our country - virtual slavery.
Of course employers could clear it up - we all know that and most of us have posted that we're in favor of fines going into the millions and prison time for anyone hiring them.

Immigrants don't always work harder and smarter, but they do work cheaper and yes, the top dogs make more money that way. There's a reason large companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. retain in-house attorneys to cover their butts when hiring HB-1 visas.

Both sides of the aisle are crooked and couldn't care less about we, the people. All this finger pointing does nothing to resolve anything. We should all be livid with both parties and start demanding more from them.

Do you have a study you can link to proving your statement that Republicans hire most of the illegals? I'd be interested in seeing it.

It is not. You immigrate to a COUNTRY, not a state.

Plus, states have open borders, so illegals in California would end up affecting other states as well.

Screw sanctuary cities and anyone who supports them while we have American citizens that are homeless or dying because they fell through the cracks. And lets not get started on the VA. I seriously think any politician who pushed for their sanctuary cities over Americans should be arrested and hung for all to see for treason on the American people.

I bet most of you posting here consider yourselves Christians. But you don't seem to care about your fellow man at all...it's all about you. How is it that atheists care more about other people than you do.

Tell me, which countries can poor Americans be rescued by?

None.

America is all they have, because other countries strictly prioritize their own citizens.

Why should America push their own citizens aside in order to mollycoddle illegals with home countries of their own? Are Americans worth less to you than foreigners?

I'm against sanctuary cities/states BECAUSE I care about other Americans.

Illegal aliens sure aren't my own or of my house .

You're not speaking for all atheists (or agnostics).
