A Trump Administration proposal to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities spurred cries of dismay from Democrats. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif) called the idea “cruel and inhumane. Sanctuary cities are already struggling with the difficulties and expense of dealing with the newcomers who have come on their own. Living conditions are degraded, as anyone who has visited San Francisco recently may have discovered. It isn’t fair for the federal government to send us more of these people.”
On the other hand, President Trump argues that “my proposal would more expeditiously get the illegal immigrants to places that vow to protect them from deportation. I would have thought that this idea should be received more positively by the Democrats who oppose taking any actions to reduce the flow of illegal immigration into our country.”
“The whole point of open borders is to bring in the voters who will help transform America into the kind of nation former President Obama envisioned,” Pelosi argued. “For this to be most effective, the immigrants need to be sent to states and congressional districts currently voting for Republicans. That’s the way President Obama handled the catch-and-release program. Trump has no right to change that policy.”
The Speaker expressed confidence that “the courts will block this latest attempt to overthrow the policies of President Obama. On so many policy issues the courts have been ruling that it is illegal for Trump to reverse the policies implemented by the previous administration. The courts have correctly placed the pursuit of good policy ahead of ritualistic adherence to the letter of the law.”
In related news, Pelosi denounced former Obama Administration Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson for agreeing with Trump’s assessment that there is a crisis on the border. “Where is this man’s sense of honor and loyalty?” she asked. “President Obama made him a member of his cabinet. Now he is stabbing his benefactor in the back by siding with the enemy of everything that is good and pure in this country.”

Gracias amigos! (Hope you’re brushing up on your Espanol? GONNA NEED IT!)
The Cloward/Piven strategy is clear here - to overwhelm the system, overload courts and detention facilities, and force illegals onto US soil. It will continue until/unless we change the circumstances.
We need a wall! Furthermore, we need a new way to deal with the illegals who are already here, those who will slip through even the tightest border security, and those who truly deserve amnesty and eventual citizenship.
Build the wall first, of course. But what if the wall was a mile away from the actual border? In a few places, I mean. In this no-man's land, kind of a DMZ, I would build the "refugee centers". Anyone undocumented or awaiting a "hearing" will be shipped here. No one is forced to stay, but if they leave the only way to go is south...

I like your thinking there.
