Those sort of protective policies lead to encourage those who would attempt to get into the Country, by any means possible.
Wrong. It is very possible to be in favor of border security yet be opposed to destroying families who are already here. Just like it is possible to be against murder yet still oppose the death penalty for murderers. Would you argue that anyone who opposes the death penalty is encouraging murderers?
But even if you do believe that Democrats in Sanctuary Cities believe in open borders that does not change the fact that Democrats in Congress consistently vote for funding to secure our borders.
The claim the Democrats want "Open borders" is just a right wing speaking point with no basis in fact.
