Comment on What happened to "Sanctuary Cities" where they bussed so called "immigrants" there? Was there a long term effect or anything? Or did cities may had a hiccup or two and that's about it?

Most of the noise about that was New York City. NYC doesn’t have the kind of tent cities other big US cities do because it lost a lawsuit in the 1980s and is under a court order requiring some minimal funding for homeless shelters. The previous mayor of NYC tried to use the busses as an excuse to get on TV and cry about how much of a crisis it was every day hoping to pressure a judge to cancel the order and let him defund the homeless shelters. That didn’t work, and then Mamdani got elected and this is one of those situations where he just turned off the orphan crushing machine and it was immediately fine.
