Wherever leftists have political control, they pass laws and regulations claiming that they are “sanctuary” cities and states where illegal aliens will be protected from a federal government seeking to enforce immigration laws. In his first term, Trump didn't know how to stop this, and under Biden, the federal government was an accomplice in illegal immigration. Now, though,
