I believe the answer is YES!
President Trump taunted California on Friday with an attention-grabbing threat to dump detained migrants into the state’s “sanctuary cities,” despite warnings from his advisors that such action would run afoul of the law.
Trump’s proposal, which government officials said is aimed at punishing Democratic strongholds for their positions on immigration policy, calls for sending the detainees to sanctuary cities, where they can live without fear of local authorities reporting them to federal immigration officials. There are hundreds of sanctuary jurisdictions nationwide, ranging from tiny rural counties to New York City and the entire state of California.
Rather than fearing the consequences of such an action perhaps it would be a good thing. After all we have a need for care givers, truck drivers, and farm workers. In addition those people with limited skills could help revive the garment industry in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The Washington Post had an article titled “As Trump targets immigrants, elderly brace to lose caregivers” reporting “Now these workers’ days are numbered: The Trump administration decided to end TPS (temporary protection status) for Haitians, giving them until July 22, 2019, to leave the country or face deportation.” Home Health Care News says there is currently a shortage of care givers.
Beyond the decency of taking in those searching for a new life, California’s economy would benefit from the needed labor supply.
