> No citizen is required to make themselves known to their state government either.

The hospital is required to create a birth certificate for you. I knew a guy growing up who was born to extremely off the grid people and it was a constant problem for him until he decided to just get himself the birth certificate and all other paperwork to avoid the obvious problems with trying to live that way and participate in our society.

Most importantly, if you plan to vote, you're going to have to "make yourself known" and actually prove you have the right. We're creating a class that otherwise doesn't exist and to the extent they do they accept the limitations that come with it.

> at least until the the census rolls around

The federal census? And while living under sanctuary status you think they're going to participate?

> cities are better off abstaining from questions of immigration status entirely.

So services that are reserved for immigrants? How do we means test those? Isn't the act of applying for an AB60 license declaring your immigration status implicitly? I get that some people may not want cities to do this but I have trouble with the extent of this logic.

> [0]: which there wasn't

There absolutely was. It's called a section 287(g) delegation. Los Angeles ended this in 2015.
