Strongly agree

No

Given Reagan's conservative stance and his approach to immigration, it is likely that he would have been against federal funding for sanctuary cities. His administration was known for implementing strict immigration policies, including the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which made it illegal to knowingly hire or recruit illegal immigrants.

Agree

No, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities

While Reagan was tough on immigration, it's not clear that he would have supported an outright ban on sanctuary cities. However, given his conservative stance and his administration's strict immigration policies, it is plausible that he would have been in favor of measures to discourage the use of sanctuary cities.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Ronald Reagan was a conservative Republican who generally favored limited government and was tough on immigration. While the concept of sanctuary cities was not as prominent during his presidency as it is today, it is likely that he would have opposed federal funding for such cities, given his overall political philosophy and stance on immigration.
