Legal immigrants can commend Trump on his efforts to end illegal immigration

The fight over sanctuary cities is not just about illegal aliens. It reflects deeply held beliefs by most Americans about the rule of law and personal responsibility. We are both a nation of immigrants — and nation of laws — laws that are passed by our duly elected representatives and enforced by the executive branch and judicial system. Our entire history is rooted in the fact that immigrants established a new nation with the Constitution as our legal framework.
So the ongoing blatant disregard for federal immigration laws shown in a handful of cities — is contrary to our established governance between states and the federal government. This culture of lawlessness was created by the previous administration, when it prioritized the removal of criminal illegal aliens while letting other illegal aliens remain free.
