Non-Status Migrants: Services and Sanctuary City

non-status migrants: Becoming a Sanctuary City means that refugees and non-status migrants have safe access to essential services like health care, education and social services, according to Rabble. It means that municipal services -- and the police in particular -- do not report refugees or undocumented migrants to border authorities or immigration officials. Grassroots migrant justice organizers are raising concerns and seeking to centre migrant voices and actions in response. In a Sanctuary City, everyone, including non-status migrants, can use city services without fear of deportation. Trump comes into the picture and a series of mayors and city councils across the country are trying to quickly differentiate themselves from him, Syed Hussan, a member of No One is Illegal-Toronto, told rabble. Though an increasing number of cities across Canada are considering adopting Sanctuary City declarations that claim to welcome refugees and undocumented migrants, deportations persist and basic public services to non-status migrants are still not being provided.
