What's crazy is that immigration decides if they're legal or not and it can take up to 30 years to 'wait in line' so ICE can look at someone with a valid green card or visa, someone who is fully reporting to immigration at every turn, who entered legally, and has no criminal record and call them illegal. It's not some shitty action movie. There aren't secret criminals around every corner, the majority of 'illegal' immigrants actually DID come in legally. It's very rare that someone gets past the boarder. Under Trump ICE started deciding a lot of people were here illegally. People who previously were entirely legal and reporting regularly to immigration. They deported people who had legal jobs, family who were citizens, dependents who were citizens, and even deported veterans, who actually have earned a right to citizenship through military service, but you know what? They didn't file on time, they didn't realize they had to have their full documentation on them because immigration specifically told them to never have their documents on their person. All sorts of shitty loopholes just to make scared little racists feel warm at night.
sanctuary cities are a good idea because they allow undocumented immigrants to interact with law enforcement without fear of being reported to ICE. Undocumented immigrants can feel comfortable giving a statement to police or reporting a crime. Sanctuary cities do not provide protection from ICE for undocumented immigrants who commit crimes. The only thing they do is refuse to hold undocumented immigrants for ICE after they are free to go.

This is a self aware wolf; no leopard face eating is happening here. That would require Toni to be wailing about someone being deported.
