Here's one for you Bubbles. He's a criminal, but all-in-all, he fits your bill.

Officials in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, recently codified into law city policies that have been in effect since 2019 limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
The all-Democrat Lancaster City Council unanimously passed an ordinance last month preventing local police and any city official from inquiring about a person’s immigration status unless it's required by state or federal law or by court order, or reasonably necessary in the course of a criminal investigation. It also prohibits them from providing any information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that could result in civil or noncriminal immigration enforcement actions.
Such “sanctuary” policies have been at the center of the national debate over immigration and border security ahead of the 2024 presidential election in November.
But the debate didn't stop city leaders from taking measures they say ensures that Lancaster remains a welcoming city where immigrants, asylum-seekers and refugees can feel comfortable seeking city services and reporting crimes, according to Jaime Arroyo, the council's vice president.
“This ordinance wouldn’t jeopardize anyone’s safety. City police will still cooperate with ICE if it’s mandated on a state or federal level but won’t go out of their way to ask for documentation,” Arroyo told NBC-affiliate WGAL-TV in Lancaster.
Immigrant rights advocates who rallied in support of the Trust Act said it allows residents, regardless of status, to feel like they can "more fully participate in civic society without fear" and feel safe when reporting crimes to police, using health and social services for their families or enrolling their children in school.

Shoo-fly
This country needs more people. Hard-working Christians seem like a good thing to have more of. Viva Mexicans.
Time for Governor Abbott to start sending miggies to Lancaster. I imagine that will tickle the hell out of the Amish.
LancasterCity, which skews democrat, passed this.
Population about 50k.
Lancaster County, which skews Republican, has a population of about 500k.
Once the illegals sucked the money out of Lancaster and migrated on they’ll wake-up
I didn’t mean you, I meant the illegals and the politicians and the NGOs and whatnot.
It would be better to have people who speak English, or at the least, don’t become users of governmental welfare. Also would be nice to have immigrants who support American values. Instead, we have a mad rush of criminals coming to rob and rape and murder.
May I have another please
It seems to me whenever the illegals find a place that will accept the violent crime, theft and overall lack of respect of the law , they buckle down until theyre forced to leave.
Sounds like an open invitation for a few of Abbott's buses straight from the border. Adams in NY might wish to send over a few thousand too.
Sounds like they need Texas to add them to the free illegal alien bus route. Ship them daily bus loads of illegals for a few months. It will just be a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of illegal aliens flowing into Texas every day.
Surely these fine people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania will welcome a few hundred thousand illegal alien “newcomers” into their homes rather than making them sleep in the streets of Texas border towns.
A huge Republican county for Pa has gotta have the vote diluted out somehow!

“...Jaime Arroyo, the council’s vice president...”
There is the problem, right there. /spit
Ping...
Did they ask the citizens?
I am concerned that Lan-KISS-ter will experience a bloodbath of illegals flooding the good city.
Here's one for you Bubbles. He's a criminal, but all-in-all, he fits your bill.
Most of the illegal aliens now streaming across Biden’s open border are not Mexicans. They cross Mexico, several Central and South American countries and even oceans to get here from nearly every continent in Earth (so far I don’t think we have gotten any from Australia or Antarctica).
Hahah, Hey Texas, send a few more dozen busses to this town and see how long this lasts.
I am betting parents aren’t going to enjoy their grade school daughters being accosted, harassed and whistled at etc by the adult male illegals..
And please don’t tell me I’m making stuff up, this is the kind of crap that was going on in California when I lived there more than 20 years ago... You think this isn’t going to happen you are a fool.
