I'm here on a J1 working visa. I agreed to equally draconian restrictions as part of that process. I've had my fingerprints taken, been photographed, my eyeballs scanned, a criminal and financial background check executed and an in-person interview at the US embassy in London at 8am, all at my expense. If something happens at the airport and I am delayed leaving before my visa expires, I will never be allowed in the country again. But if I flee to a Sanctuary City I am free to stay here forever. That's messed up.
