You don't. That's why it's not enforced. There's no need to enforce a law for something that doesn't ever occur.

Sorry for the double post See below.

Absoulutely. Otherwise, why have the rule of law? Selective enforcement of the law leads discrimination and can be considered the first step toward anarchy.But does not enforcing one section of the law - on illegal immigration - really mean undermining the ENTIRE rule of law?
trust police chiefs where sanctuary laws are being enforced to decide for their constituencies what's best for them
This is simply ludicrous. Think about the ramifications of this statement. First, the police are not charged with interpreting the law, they are charged with law enforcement. What if a police chief wakes up today and decides he isn't going to enforce traffic laws, or drug laws, or robbery and larceny laws? Or freedom of speech laws, or 1st, 2nd, or 4th Amendment laws? Where does it end?

Illegal: Unlawful; illegitimate; illicit; unlicensed. Illegal, unlawful, illegitimate, illicit, criminal can all describe actions not in accord with law.
The favored term of the illegal alien activist/advocate is "undocumented immigrant" - quite a euphemism..
What part of illegal alien is not criminal..? To enter this (or any other) country without permission.. is in itself.. illegal.. a crime.. Did you enter Beijing without proper authorization.. I think not.. China would not be amused by the euphemism "undocumented" lol.. or try to get an "undocumented" bank loan...
Thus.. an illegal alien is committing a crime against all of us in America.. and makes folly of the blood sweat & tears of all who came here by the book.. worked hard and attained citizenship legally..
That is a fact.. and I still need the monetary data on jobs.. careers.. lost due to the illegal aliens overrunning our country.. uninvited.. illegal..

Slippery slope.
The police chiefs aren't making the laws - the city officials are.
They consider the advice of LEO when making laws. In that sense, they have some input into the lawmaking process, but don't control it.
It's about triage - responding to and enforcing the worst crimes first. LEO simply don't have the time to give a full response to every crime that's committed. So yes, they have to prioritize.
But no, they don't make the laws.
