dont think this applies to canada?
@9V2YV4B7mos7MO
I don’t want federal funding if it comes with control—let cities do their own thing without strings attached.
@9L7XNPZ1yr1Y
They should receive less funding for harboring ILLEGAL immigrants, but it should not be cut entirely, as larger problems will arise.
@9KMCFG71yr1Y
Sanctuary cities create a unique environment of lawlessness and poverty which can be dangerous/worse for undocumented individuals.
Canada doesn't really have sanctuary cities, to my knowledge. That's more of a US thing.
@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.
@94H6CM2Rhinoceros3yrs3Y
I dont kn ow hwat tha tis
@94CPRD63yrs3Y
Yes, but have audits to see where the funds are being allocated
@93SZWQ53yrs3Y
If we are diligent and let in immigrants who haven't committed violent crimes, then the need for sanctuary cities shoulder be needed.
@93KS3GS3yrs3Y
Yes, and immigrants should be heavily encouraged to integrate themselves into Canadian society and culture
@8VFD2CZ4yrs4Y
Sanctuary cities should have equal rights
@8PXLL2V4yrs4Y
@Kenyonoynek4yrs4Y
If federal government can afford it
@98SL5S5New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes but first try to solve the problem
@8WZWMW83yrs3Y
yes - as long as the expenditures are publicly transparent
i literally dont understand almost all these questions that have to do with immigration and such, i dont tend to pay to much attention to those subjects and its not talked about in my house hold.
Don’t n ow enough on this subject to answer honestly
@9ZK3JNS5mos5MO
Yes, but seize the assets of businesses who hire illegal immigrants and who exploit immigrants for low wages or attempt to get around laws to bring in more foreign workers at the expense of local workers.
