President Trump pretty much exposed the hypocrisy of these so-called "sanctuary cities".  Liberals want illegals ("asylum seekers") allowed into the country as long as it doesn't affect them.  The problem isn't so much the "asylum seekers" arriving at the ports of entry (though that is quickly becoming another problem).  The real problem at the border is the drug cartels and the gang members entering the country illegally.  It has become well known and documented that those with less-than-desirable histories know that if you have a child with you then you won't get deported IF caught.  They don't come right up to ports of entry and declare asylum, they rather sneak across people's property often littering and destroying in the process as well as doing un-thinkable things to the children that they bring in tow.
