Last I heard the sanctuary cities were welcoming immigrants.

What I hate more than anything about the MAGA Rightists is that they just make shit up. Whatever they wish were true, is as good as true. Liberal = socialist, good as true. Social programs never work, might as well be true. For-profit ventures can solve everything, immigrants are dangerous, the press is enemy of the people, it all might as well be true!

The city leaders certainly are to (if history is any guide) assuage votes. The people, according to the research, certainly are not.

You're correct but this is a statement about tactics and separate from the "whether or not cities are welcoming immigrants" statement.

The rest of your post is just a derivative of the above and not germane.

Then the meme is still wrong, becuase if your premise is true, then "just like that liberals never wanted immigrants in their cities".

The claim that sanctuary cities are unwelcoming was pulled from thin air. It's a lie worthy of Trump himself. The last time I checked, a mayor is still a credible spokesman for their city - certainly not Cher, sorry.

We're done. I've shown evidence, you've shown conjecture. I provided evidence that the populace is not happy about illegal aliens.

The meme being wrong may be technically true--just like Native American Indians once welcomed the white settlers before they utterly trashed the Indian tribes.

Update: Holy shit, you stooped so low as to misrepresent the facts themselves! You said:

"just like that liberals never wanted immigrants in their cities".

That's not what the meme states. The meme says, And just like that, liberals didn't want illegal immigrants in their cities." This is not the same statement.

C'mon, man. Read what I sent you. Your credibility is null--I can't trust you to correctly process information.

"just like that liberals never wanted immigrants in their cities".

You didn't get it, I was intentionally rephrasing the meme to fit with the study you linked to; "didn't want" vs. "never wanted".

As I said, the meme tries to accuse liberals of being NIMBY's, but that's intenlectually dishonest. What is the evidence for this "flip flop"? Cher?!

The mayors of several "sanctuary cities" are openly welcoming of immigrants, yesterday, today and the next day. It's too bad the courts will strike down Trump's attempt to offload immigrants in sanctuary cities, because it sounds to me like what Trump wants to give away, the sancturary cities are willing to receive.

I like to stay on the topic at hand recognizing recent events, yes.
