    Gee. I wonder what the difference could be…

    But, don’t fear. As long as the current political trends continue, something tells me America might change its mind again… shortly after the new administration is inaugurated.

    Migrants are given one year to decide if they want to naturalize or move to another nation. Sanctuary cities provide free housing for a portion of that time, dependent on budget. Current immigration law leaves hosting up to individual cities, without Federal mandates for participation. Sanctuary cities are at capacity, and are using a turnstile system to allow new migrants into housing as existing migrants leave.

    The obvious solution is congressional immigration reform, which would increase Federal funding and provide migrants the right to assisted stay in places other than sanctuary cities. Congress failed to pass a bill.

    POTUS can control detainment or turn away migrants at the border with the power of Executive Order. He cannot pass a new budget, or immigration reform.

    What should Biden do?

    Turn away, detain, or nothing and overcrowd sanctuary cities with homeless migrants?

    Kind of interesting how the illegal immigrants are encouraged to break the law but that attitude is expected to not bleed into the citizens who are expected to conform to government social agenda.

      I couldn’t see it in the article so perhaps you can tell me what laws they’re being encouraged to break?
