Liberal city mayors feel the heat as sanctuary city policies bring heavy costs

Liberal cities, including sanctuary cities that limit federal immigration enforcement, are dealing with massive costs from the flood of migrants hitting their cities from the southern border, and they are hoping the federal government will shoulder the burden.

The migrant crisis has been ravaging the border since early 2021, but this year has seen record highs, with a monthly record of encounters in September. Fiscal Year 2023 broke records for encounters at the southern border as well.
