I understand why we shouldn't deport people who haven't broken the law and have established themselves in the US for a time, but if you enter illegally, are not a green card holder, and you commit a felony?

Adios.

Issue with sanctuary cities is that just saying magic words and declaring sanctuary does not really change anything:

There was that one guy who attacked with a rifle/firebombs tried to burn down that detention center which was filled with people and kids. Was he one of yours?

The most effective thing about "sanctuary cities" is that these cities are pledging not to use local resources to aid ICE. Local law enforcement and govt agencies can't stop ICE, but they don't have to do their footwork for them.
