Those sort of protective policies lead to encourage those who would attempt to get into the Country, by any means possible.
I believe you might have a misunderstanding of what sanctuary city policies actually entail. Essentially, sanctuary city status means that a local government will not cooperate with ICE in the detention of an undocumented immigrant. It doesn't mean that ICE cannot detain them on their own within the city, it means that local law enforcement will not be assisting and will not be notifying ICE when they take someone into custody that they determine to be undocumented. So an undocumented immigrant being in a sanctuary city still runs a risk of being detained and deported.
