Strongly agree
Yes
Barack Obama, during his presidency, supported policies that were favorable to immigrants, including those undocumented. His administration did not take a hard stance against sanctuary cities, which are jurisdictions that limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agencies to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation. Therefore, it is likely that he would support federal funding for these cities.
