    Me too, I guess it's something like "not in my backyard".

    Essentially, there are a lot of illegal immigrants coming into the US. It's a problem politics have been fighting about for a while now. Some think we need to open our doors to them. Others think that they need to be stopped. The ones who want the open doors, liberals, go against federal law and declare their cities "sanctuary cities" where illegal immigrants wont be deported. Conservatives, who want to deport the illegal immigrants, threatened to move as many illegal immigrants as possible to the sanctuary cities. Liberals are now saying that they don't want that.

    No problem. It's kinda oversimplified, but trying to explain the whole history of the illegal immigrant debate would lead to a novel sized explanation. Yay politics!
