Section 1324 title 8 makes it a federal felony to ENCOURAGE illegals to live in america. All these states and cities that call themselves sanctuaries are committing a crime and the officials should be prosecuted. Problem solved.

aug 8 2023 "Sanctuary" state Massachusetts is the latest to declare a state of emergency over its inability to handle thousands of immigrants who have arrived after being released from federal custody at the United States-Mexico border.
"This is a national issue that demands a national response," Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) said during a press conference on Tuesday morning. "Today, I am declaring a state of emergency in Massachusetts."
Healey called on Washington to help Massachusetts because the state could not financially or logistically respond to the 20,000 people living in state-funded shelters, hotels, dormitories, and other emergency facilities statewide — an 80% increase from
a year ago. The state's 1983 "right to shelter" law maintains that any family, regardless of immigration status, is guaranteed immediate state-provided housing.
"It's more families than our state has ever served, exponentially more than our state has ever served in our emergency assistance program," Healey said at the event 2,000 miles away from the southern tip of Texas and the border crisis epicenter.
Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll spoke and pleaded with the public to take in immigrant families.
"If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family," Driscoll said.
