I still can't understand how 'sanctuary cities' are a thing. The federal and state governments should gradually cut funding to those cities until they comply. It always just seems like if it helps the democrats it's the right thing to do and if it helps the republicans it's super offensive and racist!!!

Trump has said he will be doing just that.
Heres hoping.

Aussie here, it's nuts right. I was talking about this with a liberal friend and he was convinced that it disadvantages the poor and minorities. Even destitute Mexico with its sprawling slums and millions of poor has government issued photo IDs for federal elections.

They can also use the schools, collect welfare, get housing subsidies, and food stamps without any proof to be here legally.

They need a SSN to get services (except schooling). If we offered a free national ID for all citizens we can require that for voting, but we don't.
