lel... Release the migrants and asylum seekers to neighborhoods with champagne socialists and watch as Democratic approval ratings at these neighborhoods plummet while white flight hasn't fully changed the nature of the area... Show them who they are letting into their country and paying for their healthcare, education and benefits.
Releasing them to and keeping them in the sanctuary cities, in areas that are historically democratic, would contain the influence non-registered non-citizen voters can have on US general elections... Truly most of those states don't even have the most basic voter-ID laws... Maybe when the money runs out, they will realize that they've made a mistake of giving benefits that were meant for their families to complete strangers from a different country. Europeans still haven't figured that out.
Y'Know the Mexicans didn't want the Honduras migrant caravan, they called them ungrateful and entitled... Imagine that, would you accuse them of racism, since they are both mostly Mestizo...
What exactly is a champagne socialist? You realize many of these sanctuary cities are farm towns, rural, working and middle class... far from champagne anything. Prior to Trump, Obama was actually harsher on Illegal immigrants than Bush. Bush proposed granting them amnesty. Most of those who actually offer sanctuary and sponsor immigrants are Christians and happen to be Republican. You should understand with the history of the US, most of the US was colonized by Christian "missionaries" and these towns and cities are still heavily influenced by this. The issue of southern migration to the US is still a very divisive issue among the Republican party.
Are these the Champagne socialists you speak of?

In addition, the idea of non citizen voter fraud has been shown to be untrue, the only serious issues we have had in the US with voter fraud as of late have been actually perpetrated by republicans.

I honestly am not sure where you have been getting your information as of late but it seems to be terribly misinformed. Might want to look for new news sources.

Suburban liberals and socialists. You can google it, as I have. I read about this term when I encountered a study about white flight in Chicago. Poltical views are directly tied to the neighborhood you live in (social-economic class, your neighbors, the community, services, etc.) Funny to know few people get their opinions off the Internets.
Not having voter id laws is in my eyes complete lunacy. Do note I come from a place with mandatory IDs, and you're expected to have at least one type of ID on you at all times...
My Uncle lives in Staten Island. Last time I visited he told me about the wonders of the world. How the Muslims in the neighborhood tried to by an old catholic church to turn it into a mosque, and how they had a power-play prayer outside by the beach at a park nearby... NYC is getting more expensive to live in, as long as you're a working citizen. If you're an undocumented immigrant you can have free access to its shambles of a school system so you could have a unionized teacher babysit your kid while you go out and work in the black somewhere... Seattle, Los-Angeles, Austin, New Mexico, Vermont, NYC, Colorado... Sanctuary cities and areas that take kindly to undocumented immigrants.
It's easy to help someone and give them aid when it's not your own money.
In '14 I spoke with some activists when I was near Jenin. The conversation veered into the hate-speech the african migrant community was getting hit by... They told me the state should take care of them, house them, give them citizenship... I asked them if they could have let one of those people into their homes. Fed them, clothed them, trusted them to be a part of their household... They went like fish and quieted down for a moment before turning back into the whole reason why there were there in the first place... That's champagne socialists. They don't need to work so them come and harass me at my job so they can feel good about themselves...
They're generous as long as it's not their own money. I love people that open their hearts and help others just because they want to. I hate people that want to give away help to strangers so they can feel good about themselves, help they are not giving themselves - oh no, the state must do it, otherwise it's racist!
