next up, the heat is on for sanctuary cities.he city leaders could be slapped with smuggling charges if they don't obey immigration laws. eboni's docket. we'll break it down next. >> time now for the docket, a few issues are as controversial, polarizing as illegal immigration. it's so hot button that i suggest that donald trump rose to the issue on his presidency. this week, 10 people died after being smuggled in a tractor trailer and shows how dire the consequences are of continuing to kick the can down the road on real policy solutions around immigration reform. sanctuary cities have been the answer for many of the pro immigrant community. now while their intention is to protect the immigrant community, i submit that they further endanger the immigrant community itself along with greater law enforcement and the public itself. >> sanctuary cities are the criminal's biggest friend. if you're ailing a smuggler and smuggling people for a living, that is one sales pitch. we can get you to a sanctuary city where they will help shield

we need to get rid of sanctuary cities.ry cities have the effect of attracting criminal elements because they know they can go there and the local police won't be turning them over to i.c.e. to deport them. that's what kate's law was trying to address. then you have employers who are employing people under the table. that's another problem. >> eboni: let me say, a lot of people talk about immigration reform. it was the signature issue of the trump administration. we had president george w. bush, barack obama, lots of presidents, different party try to tackle it but not really. why hasn't there been any real effort? >> jason: i think there was a lack of political will for the democrats and republicans to enforce the law, but i agree a lot with eric. you don't solve this problem until you fix legal immigration. head of the border patrol union, their morale has never been higher. he talked to the acting i.c.e. director, i heard him on neil cavuto's show. he's had almost 200 people lose their lives trying to get across the dese

i wish we could take away the magnet of sanctuary cities. e cities that choose to shield these people from immigrational enforcement. to shield, harbor folks from immigration enforcement, those are knowingly in the united states illegally and to help conceal or harbor them is also a crime. some of these jurisdictions, you need to read the fine print and make sure they're on the right side of the law. >> i was thinking director, too, for the last chat, the idea of finding safe haven in the united states, if you know that you're trying to get in the united states, you are probably going to seek out a sanctuary local so you wouldn't be hounded once you're there the safety issue is getting there. in this case, assuming it was the case where they were trying to get to a safe city, we don't know, it can kill you. >> these people that choose to take this trip up here is dangerous. they know as much as we do about what sanctuary cities are and where they're located. i wish these jurisdictions would work with us, wish they think about the decisions th

sanctuary cities are a criminal's biggest threat. if you're an ail yelien smuggle that is a sales pitch. can get you to a sanctuary city where they will shield you from immigration. sanctuary cities need to help us. they endanger public safety and my law enforcement officers. one of our officers will knock on a door that anyone in law enforcement knows that is one of the most dangerous to do. so instead of doing it in the safety and current of a county jail, we have to arrest them in the community. the ail yent themselves are put at risk. we have to think of the people and we have lost many in the last few years at the hands of violent criminal ail yelienalie have to come to us and work with us. >>. >> the fact that the president has been criticizing the attorney general, has that impacted your ability to do your job? >> so i will end it there, but nothing will change the way we do our business. they will keep enforcing law, sir? >>. >> are you telling the country now, and if you're not, what is different about your approach with m s
