dont think this applies to canada?
Yes, but to a certain point, where it is enough to do further research on the indivieul's past to encore any of their records interme of criminal offenses.
@8J64JW6New Democratic4yrs4Y
I'm unclear as to how these cities are governed. do those residing there fall under the same laws and regulations as bonified citizens of that country? If they recieve funding, do they also pay taxes and are responsible to ensure the proper education of their children, etc.?
@8T3T55PConservative4yrs4Y
Usually sanctuary city’s just don’t really enforce immigration laws to an extent. In Toronto like hospitals and police won’t go out of their way to check if you’re an illegal immigrant. So they don’t really deport illegal immigrants. Undocumented mean illegal so you can’t pay taxes if you’re not even supposed to be here.
@8V7C4Z7Bloc Québécois4yrs4Y
No, but we should allow sanctuary cities
@8TVYWZ6New Democratic4yrs4Y
We should provide these individuals with a path to immigrate properly rather then punish them however we shouldn’t just allow people to enter without being properly vetted and not have a process to deal with them.
@8PPRN77New Democratic4yrs4Y
If they receive federal funding, they would no longer be sanctuary cities.
@98SL5S5New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes but first try to solve the problem
@8V5CRKSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
We should not be responsible for refugees
@8V5TPXXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I would need more clarity on how funding would be allocated, and it’s difficult to decide when two sanctuary cities might be drastically different. A good idea might be to provide funded outreach helping new individuals to become documented citizens.
