If my city was designated as a so called “sanctuary city”. I’d move.

A city that provides refuge for undocumented immigrants.@Tracos

One that gives the rights of citizens to illegal aliens and attempts to interfere with ICE and Customs and Border Patrol. @Tracos

Do they are effectively legalizing them ?

One might say that. One might also say such cities are violating the state constitutions and the rights of citizens. @Tracos

But if they are legalized citizens they are no longer illegal aliens

“effectively” legalizing illegal aliens means that so called sanctuary cities shield illegal aliens from legal consequences and also give them legal rights costing real money paid for by real citizens. @Tracos

But they still have to work and pay taxes like any citizen right?

They can collect Medicaid welfare and any benefits just like a citizen and you and I pay for it. @Tracos

@jackjjackson Lmao now that’s a blatant lie 😂

Open you just blatantly lied. In edition they are eligible to vote in state and local elections and have state issued drivers licenses@QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson Lmao 😂
Man, you can suuuuuuuper stretch some of that, and the drivers license thing is true, at least in CA - but state elections 😂

In practical terms, illegals get no real access to medicaid, no welfare, etc, can't meaningfully vote in any real sense (lol schoolboard in one city), etc, etc.
