    @NocturnalMorning It means people coming from other countries illegally and getting free stuff here, in Seattle luxury hotels, cars, and drivers licenses so they can vote, and unfortunately drive, isn’t free, it’s paid for by the legitimate citizens who worked for that money and now have to go without things.

      Please research the actual economic impacts of illegal immigration before speaking on the matter. Your fellow users will thank you.

        @Feathercrown I live within 13 miles of a sanctuary city, I’ve seen the economic impacts first hand, no jobs, cities land values falling by 50%, tent cities everywhere, human shit on the sidewalks everywhere, fentynal overdoses everywhere. About the only thing that has benefited economically is that we can get cheep street drugs.

          I wish property values dropped by 50%! I would actually buy a house back there.

          Having lived in multiple sanctuary cities I’m comfortable saying every single point you’re attempting to make is the kind of pure bullshit one would only believe if their only source is Twitter or broadcast news.

              People not having kids isn’t because someone else came and took a minimum wage or less job, the drug trade, or shit on the sidewalk. It’s because there aren’t jobs that are widely accessible with pay commensurate with cost of living.

              Don’t be mad at immigrants for being exploited, be mad at the people exploiting them and the government which refuses to enforce cost of living wage or other social services such as, for example, healthcare and high quality public transit.
