Trump's decision to send illegal immigrants to refuge cities will help them stay in the country

Administration idea President Donald Trump sending immigrants who have been illegally trafficked to the United States may end up benefiting the immigrants themselves. In these cities it will be easier for them to “take root” and stay in the country. He writes about it Denver Post.

The proposal may not only place them in the cities where they are welcome, but also the authorities of the cities are more likely to give a rebuff to the federal officials who carry out deportation orders. In many shelter cities there are more resources to help immigrants file a lawsuit to stay in the United States. In addition, some of the largest national immigration protection teams are located in places like San Francisco, New York and Chicago, which are refuge cities. But the disadvantage for immigrants in these cities will be the high cost of living.

An analysis of data from Syracuse University showed that refuge cities such as New York and Los Angeles, immigrants are 20% less prone to arrest than in other localities in the country.

The idea to send immigrants to cities of refuge twice was discussed in recent months, but the White House and the Department of Homeland Security stated that the plan was rejected. However, on Friday, April 12, Trump said he was still considering the idea.

27-year-old Wilson Romero, who was separated from 7-year-old daughter while crossing the border in El Paso, Texas, is from Honduras. After separation from his daughter, he spent three months in prison. Out on the loose, he moved to his mother in San Francisco, where he reunited with his daughter.

Romero claims that he fulfills the daily public assignments without worrying about discrimination. His daughter goes to a regular kindergarten, where she made friends with children from Mexican and American families. From Honduras, they had to flee after their relatives were killed.

According to him, the biggest problem in the Bay Area is high cost of living. A former worker in a textile factory relies on his mother’s income. He began to think about asking for legal permission to move to North Carolina, where his uncle lives, and life is cheaper.

“To be honest, it's a little tough financially right now,” said Romero, who doesn't know of any charities that can help him.

The plan, discussed by Trump, will face financial, logistical and legal issues.

Transporting immigrants arrested at the border to large and distant cities would be cumbersome and expensive.

Flights chartered by ICE cost about $7 an hour and require multiple staff, including a medical professional. The agency also operates commercial flights. Carrying shipments further than the border would increase the agency's liability, especially since many of the immigrants in its care are families with young children.

Refuge cities have long been called up by Trump dissatisfaction. A few days after taking office in the 2017 year, Trump signed a decree according to which federal funding for refuge cities ceased. True decree immediately disputed in a court. He is still considered unconstitutional, although the Trump administration continues to appeal this decision.
