"When I won the election in 2016, the New York Times had to beg their fleeing subscribers for forgiveness in that they covered the election (and me) so badly...Their sources often don't even exist, a fraud. They will lie and cheat any way possible to make me look bad. In six years they will be gone."

Residents in sanctuary cities don't seem to mind immigrants, and I'm sure the immigrants would be much happier, knowing that they could legally work without the threat of deportation.
This could likely backfire on Trump.
This could be a case of him just assuming that everyone else hates brown people as much as he does, and that the Democrats just used them as political chess pieces. He may feel like he's making them put their money where their mouth is, and they're just scratching the backs of their heads saying "...okay?".

The idea is that dumping brown people in the cities will turn them into nightmarish hellscapes and prove once and for all that the invaders are rapists, murderers, and thieves.
Massive own goal. Taking migrants to the few places that the american gestapo isn't welcome.

HAHA! Now we know why Mitch and Rand helped get the sanctions lifted on trumps handlers.

Trump's promise of a $4,000 pay hike for the average working family just came up $3,999.99 short
According to the Economic Policy Institute’s Larry Mishel, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employer Costs for Employee Compensation shows that “bonuses actually fell $0.22 between December 2017 and December 2018 and the average bonus for 2018 was just $0.01 higher than in 2017.”
While the White House continues to insist to this day that bonuses—big ones!—were handed out at companies across America all thanks to the T.C.J.A (née the Cut Cut Cut Act), it has backed away from putting an exact number on the rewards now that the actual data is out. When the administration was selling the plan, it claimed the average American family would wake up to an extra $4,000 in its pocket, and maybe even up to $9,000. Those figures were provided by Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers, whose chairman, leading light Kevin Hassett, argued during the shutdown that furloughed workers should consider the (unpaid) time off a free vacation.
