Fox reported Trump to sign executive order to build the wall, end sanctuary cities.

Re: Fox reported Trump to sign executive order to build the wall, end sanctuary citie

I can think of practical and aesthetic reasons.

First, I know I wouldn't want a giant wall crossing my land obstructing my scenic view.

But I also doubt there are many ranchers who would want to be cut off from a free water supply.



The wall would be in built up urban areas so the scenic views are limited

Land owners on the desert complain about illegals crossing their land, leaving trash, stealing, carrying drugs, sometimes shooting at them or killing cattle.

The last thing any land owner wants is hoards of strangers crisscrossing their land night and day.

local law enforcement is not required to enforce federal law, because if they were the states would be called on by the feds costing them their own tax dollars for something we are taxed for by the federal government to do.
States don't have to enforce federal laws, but they have to abide by them. The media makes it sound as if the feds want the city police to go out on the town and start rounding up aliens when in fact the aliens the feds want are already locked up in city, county, and state jails and prisons. The feds place a detainer demanding that the feds be notified upon the pending release of the alien from jail and then hold the alien for 48 hours to allow the feds to take custody.

The cities are aware that the feds want these aliens, yet they ignore the federal detainers and let the criminal aliens back onto the streets. It's not a matter of local agencies enforcing immigration law; it's just a matter of them complying with federal law not to let the bad guys back out onto the street after the feds have served them with notice that the alien is wanted.

i agree, but i was commenting why the city is taking the attitude they are

chicago and its local politicians do not want to associate with the current administration over immigration, because they would come under fire from their own supportive base.
