President Trump still “likes” the idea of transferring immigrants in the U.S. illegally to so-called sanctuary cities like San Francisco, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Sunday.
President Trump speaks during a roundtable on immigration and border security at the U.S. Border Patrol Calexico Station on April 5.
"This is again his manufactured chaos that he's created over the last two years on the border," Thompson said on ABC’s “This Week.” That comment may have been calculated to touch on a sensitive point: Trump has a well-known aversion to ceding too much of the spotlight to underlings. Democrats, she said, “have said they want these individuals into their communities, so let’s see if it works and everybody gets a win out of it.”
Immigration advocates argued that the idea, if implemented, would backfire on Trump because it would deliver immigrants here illegally to communities that would refuse to turn them over to immigration agents for deportation. The immigrants then would be free to go anywhere in the country.
