Sanctuary cities were created to make more democrat voters by changing who gets more representation. The Republicans benefited from cheap labor, the rest of us lost.

Sanctuary cities are a wonderful, humanitarian idea gone wrong because good people can't get it through their stupid heads that there are some really bad people out there. I've just written a book about it. Yes, the migrant workers are victims of poverty and oppression. They are wonderful people who work hard and who are taken advantage of. MS-13 and their like (including their gringo supporters and money-launderers) are not just collateral damage. They are part of a planned invasion and child-trafficking racket. Just count: 400,000 unaccounted for children by now.

Bullcrap. Illegal is illegal, Karen... those poor migrant workers can come in legally or GTFO.

Their handlers should be prosecuted, better yet, lose their citizenship.

Karens like YOU are partially responsible for those missing and abused kids.

Did I write anything in support of Illegal workers? I live in a dairy farm community with the farms run by migrants, all legal. And vegetable farms with pickers from Jamaica, all legal.

As long as some government program says they're "legal," we can bring them here. Offshoring American jobs to a trillion Punjabs is "legal," right? No laws violated. Perfectly ethical. Why not bring in 50 million Indians? Hey, as long as its "legal."

Yes, you did, you slimy skidmark... "Sanctuary cities are a wonderful, humanitarian idea..."

'Sanctuary' cities do not protect LEGAL citizens or green card holders, ahole... only ILLEGALS.

Stop being a slimy lying libturd.

Good point. I was thinking of the good ol' days when Guatemalans, El Salvadorans, and Nicaraguans were gunned down by death squads.

Let them fight them. El Salvador has defeated them under a the aegis of a Great Leader who garnered the support of all the best elements of the nation.

Why do we need cowards who won't fight for their own land?

Sanctuary cities was a terrible idea. IT was to get democratic voters. The democrat kept packing them in because they are losing and now they know they are finished. I expect they will put up a fight. They didn't care that people were getting hurt. They wanted the illegal immigration. The republicans were guilty too. Texas and Florida and the precious red states wanted cheap labor. It's their fault most of all.

You don't eat migrant-picked food? No one you know uses Mexican roofing crews? You don't eat in restaurants or sleep in hotels? It is puerile to say that only neocon and progressive reprobates profit from one slave labor market over another.

There are migrant worker programs that allow for seasonal picking, and then they return to their shit-hole country. That's worked in the past; it can work again. They don't have to live here and be on welfare.

Friends of my parents owned a large farm in the Red River Valley. Every year they had several families of migrants come for the harvest. They housed them in shacks out of sight. Every year, when school started and the bus came to pick up the migrant children, she pitched a fit. She hated that even a penny of her tax dollars went to educate those kids, even if it was only for a few weeks.

Before the end of the good times, Quakers in the north enticed and pamphleteered Southern blacks to leave their plantations and come to the north to work for wages. The blacks worked the fields and gathered in the harvest. When the Fall came, the Quakers handed them their wages and said "we'll see you in the Spring." The blacks said "where do we go now?" Most went back to the South. Some died in the snow.

Giving someone a seasonal job doesn't require the employer to be a permanent caretaker.

You're correct. We should just let them die in the snow. There will be a new crop of workers next year!

It's understandable. It's not taxpayers' responsibility to learn Spanish in order to teach migrant children, and if teachers don't speak Spanish, the children won't learn anything anyway.

I wonder what you'll say when

you and all the other displaced non-aliens

of this country are part of the coming

New American Diaspora as you/they spread

around the world and are treated as you

would treat these powerless kids you

treat like trash under your feet.

I lived in this state for years. I was friends with migrant workers. The out-of-control immigration hurt the people that were here with the migrant program. Some of these people stayed. I know them. They became legal citizens. Their country was made unbearable by out-of-control drug cartels and out of control immigration. Texas and Florida benefited the most and only started to care in the last 8 years. They wanted it they egged it on for the almighty dollar. The country is paying the higher prices in tax, crime and the diminishment of quality of life.
