A sanctuary city is one that obstructs (directly or indirectly) the enforcement of federal immigration laws. http://www.apsanlaw.com/law-246.List-of-Sanctuary-cities.html http://www.apsanlaw.com/law-246.List-of-Sanctuary-cities.htm... Since this list is most of your bigger more liberal cities (LA, SF, NYC), I do wonder what it means to cut off all federal funding to those cities.

I live by one of those cities, and there are indeed a lot of visa overstayers living there. The prospect of those people being too scared to call 911 if they witness a crime is something I am decidedly NOT looking forward to.

  Hopefully we can crack down on employers so that these visa over-stayers don't stay long enough for that to happen.

    Crack down on employers? Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Basically the federal government says "Round these people up, an oh by the way do it on your own dime." These cities basically say no, we're not going to pay for that.
