PHOENIX (AP) - An idea floated by President Donald Trump[1] to send immigrants from the border to “sanctuary cities” to exact revenge on Democratic foes could end up doing the migrants a favor.

Immigration advocates say sanctuary cities typically make it easier for migrants to put down roots and stay in the country.

The plan would put thousands of immigrants in cities that are not only welcoming to them, but also more likely to rebuff federal officials carrying out deportation orders. Many of these locations have more resources to help immigrants make their legal cases to stay in the United States than smaller cities.

Trump[2] blames troubles on the border on Democrats and their inaction in Congress.
