The US does not have sancturary cities as such, but it does have laws that offer protection to immigrants who qualify as asylees or refugees. Illegal immigrants have in a few instances sought sanctuary from deportation by seeking refuge under the protection of a church or religious organization. The US Supreme Court has ruled that such action is not recognizable under Immigration law and the immigrant(s) are still subject to seizure, detainment and deportation and those assisting them or refusing to cooperate with authorities can be prosecuted regardless of their religious status/views.

What is negative about sanctuary cities?
Well first off sanctuary cities allow illegal immigrants to live in the city, pretty much undocumented, if I'm not mistaken. Aside from that many cities have adopted this law like thing called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," where local police officers are not allowed to quesiton immigration status unless they are actually committing a crime in sanctuary cities. So it kind of makes it hard for the whole terrorist watch to work out. The ILLEGAL immigrants are also able to gain rights that we as citzens work for, such as government support.
