LA council adopts sanctuary city ordinance to thwart Trump immigration enforcement
“We know that there is a target on our back from this president-elect, and what we are doing here is we are hardening our defenses,” Councilman Bob Blumenfield said.

These are LAWS passed by city legislative bodies (usually the City Council) to protect the interests of people who are in the country in violation of U.S.law.
Seriously. Explain it to me.
Even ignoring the fact that these people have broken our laws, the beneficiaries of these laws are not permitted legally to work in the United States. And because of the fact that the Supreme Court has determined that public benefits cannot be denied them because of their illegal status, they are PUBLIC CHARGES. They rely on the already-strained "safety net," including SNAP benefits, Medicaid, housing subsidies, free school tuition for their offspring, and who knows what else, so they are a burden to the local, State, and Federal taxpayers.
Our elected officials have a legal and moral obligation to protect the interests of citizens and others who are legally resident in our communities. Making yours a "sanctuary city" is THE OPPOSITE of that!
Who benefits from this?
Legislators who vote for these laws should be impeached, voted out of office and indicted...there MUST be some law that they are breaking.
