Twenty-one cities, several of them sanctuary cities, have pledged to make one million immigrants American citizens by the end of 2017.

The Naturalize Now initiative is aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from deportation under the Trump administration. President Trump is not against legal immigration, but has promised to crack down on illegal residency in the U.S., especially of criminals.

The cities include New York City, NY; San Francisco, CA; Seattle; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; Jersey City, NJ; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; and Tucson, AZ.

Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles and other progressive elected officials have joined in the path to citizenship effort.

"We celebrate our independence on July 4, and honor the values of freedom, justice, unity, and equality that make us who we are," Garcetti said.

The House of Representatives passed two immigration bills June 29, "Kate's Law" and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act. The bills exact harsher penalties on those who re-enter after being deported and put pressure on local governments to cooperate with feds on immigration enforcement.
Interesting title from Fox news.

It should say Legal Immigrants. That title is going to stir up some heat from far right thinking they are legalizing illegals.

I don't really ever hear people say legal immigrants, just immigrants.

I don't hear immigrants, all I hear is "illegals".

Neither of those bills will be adopted by the Senate in their current forms but 1 million Citizens in 2017 seems to be a tall order. Just pass the Bridge Act and that will be a good start.

This is bad reporting from Fox news. Naturalize Now initiative is about getting 1 million Green Card holders to naturalize, not illegal immigrants.
