Very strongly agree

No, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities

Many Republicans strongly support banning sanctuary cities altogether. For example, former President Donald Trump, a Republican, issued an executive order in 2017 to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities and called for their elimination. This stance is also reflected in the party's platform and the positions of many Republican lawmakers.

However, some moderate Republicans may not fully support a complete ban on sanctuary cities, which is why the score is not a full 5.
