A sanctuary city is a city that adopts local policies designed to not prosecute people solely for being an undocumented individual in the country in which they are currently living. In January 2017, President Trump issued an executive order that would withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities. In April 2017 a federal judge ruled that Trump’s order was unconstitutional.

The federal government should not fund sanctuary cities. however the federal government cannot ban sanctuary cities since this is within the jurisdiction of the states and cities involved. Let state's/local governments decide if they want to make their city a "Sanctuary City" or fund sanctuary cities within their state.
Yes, because a city's basic services to function and thrive (like sanitation, infrastructure, and emergency services) need federal and state funding
@9RTFVXY10mos10MO
No, and replace sanctuary cities with designated zones near the border on land uninhibited by current citizens.
No. The focus should be on reforming a broken immigration system. Then there would be no incentive for illegal immigration and sanctuary cities wouldn’t be necessary
Yes, but reform and streamline the process for immigrants without a violent criminal record to become citizens, and this will reduce and eventually eliminate the need for sanctuary cities
Only if they fight against illegal immigration
