I don't understand the counter argument. How is this political when the same politicians are welcoming such illegal immigration, giving them free stuff they don't even give Americans and refuse to fix the problem?
It's honestly mind boggling that anyone who openly supports Sanctuary Cities would be against this idea. It makes perfect sense. The places that want illegal immigration and defend them can now have an unlimited supply. Other communities that don't want lawlessness and breaching of their sovereignty will be void of it.
Trump's threat worked

Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only....
Friday 4:45 PM:
AP: "The Latest: Court allows return of asylum seekers to Mexico."
The background is simple. On Monday, Judge Richard Seeborg ruled that we must take in anyone who claims asylum and let them stay in the USA until their hearing. Illegal aliens often skip the hearings and the deportation that goes with them.
In other words, Seeborg single-handedly erased our border.
Seeborg is the same obstructionist judge who earlier blocked the Trump administration from restoring the citizenship question on the census that Obama had unilaterally removed in the 2010 Census. That unconstitutional decision is on appeal.
Seeborg is one of the hundreds of political operatives Obama embedded in the judiciary for the rest of their lives. They are part of the resistance.
The president just told them: sanctuary this.
A three-member panel of the Ninth backed down.
The Recorder reported, "the panel — made up of Circuit Judges Diarmuid O’Scannlain, William Fletcher and Paul Watford — has stayed Seeborg’s nationwide injunction until it can hear the government’s emergency motion. It set a Tuesday morning deadline for plaintiffs in the case to file an opposition to the government’s request."
How does a district judge get the power to issue a nationwide injunction? Congress needs to limit rulings by judges like Seeborg to their district.
Or better yet, the Supreme Court should.
But that battle is for a future day.
For now, President Trump succeeded in keeping illegal aliens out of the country until they can prove they really are refugees.
And we all had fun watching Donald J Trump checkmate the opposition.
