Yes, but have these cities closely monitored, screen the people before entering, and limit the number of sanctuary cities.

 @9K6JKN3from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No. Those cities should use the people for some jobs to maintain those cities. Start assimilating them in to the culture sooner than later.

 @Canadianpunk89  from Pennsylvania  answered…2mos2MO

No, except for the ones who have legal status or if they fled from their home country due to an active war or a legit life and death situation.

 @9TSRTBTfrom Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

I say yes as a sanctuary cities can create an environment of lawlessness and poverty which can be dangerous for undocumented individuals

 @9TR533Janswered…5mos5MO

We should rather invest in immigration and social centres that help and support immigrants in establishing themselves and adapting to their new country

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

only if they have approval from provincial authorities and it reflects on their current policy needs/issues

 @9QZCYDNfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Yes but they shouldn't be against federal immigration policies. If they are that's when it's time to cut funding

Mexico Slams U.S. Policies as Trump Renews Border War

President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% import duties on Mexican goods if the country doesn’t stop the flow of drugs and migrants across the border.Sheinbaum said she was willing to engage in talks on the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem.“One tariff would be followed by another in response, and so on until we put at risk common businesses,” Sheinbaum said, referring to U.S. automakers that have plants on both sides of the border.She said Tuesday that Mexico had done a lot to stem the flow of migrants, noting “caravans of migrants no longer reach the border.” However, Mexico’s efforts to fight drugs like the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl — which is manufactured by Mexican cartels using chemicals imported from China — have weakened in the last year.Sheinbaum said Mexico suffered from an influx of weapons smuggled in from the United States, and said the flow of drugs “is a problem of public health and consumption in your country’s society.”Sheinbaum also criticized U.S. spending on weapons, saying the money should instead be spent regionally to address the problem of migration. “If a percentage of what the United States spends on war were dedicated to peace and development, that would address the underlying causes of migration,” she said.Sheinbaum’s bristly response suggests that Trump faces a much different Mexican president than he did in his first term.Back in late 2018, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was a charismatic, old-school politician who developed a chummy relationship with Trump. The two were eventually able to strike a bargain in which Mexico helped keep migrants away from the border — and received other countries’ deported migrants — and Trump backed down on the threats.
