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.

yes and no sanctuary cities are a fine option but I don't think the the government should be funding them
The amount of sanctuary cities can stay the same, but give less funding to them, so they'll eventually die off anyway, an euthanization of sorts.
@9FG363TRepublican2yrs2Y
yes but not large sums of money, they are humans however they are not American citizens and they must pay taxes and work in order to receive funds
Yes, specifically for the immigrants and upkeep of the city
@96MXB8SRepublican3yrs3Y
If The city is offering to be a sanctuary city, they should have the money to hold up a sanctuary city without help from the government. At that point it is wasting money on something the government doesn't need to.
@96LXF343yrs3Y
Yes, and document those who are there so the government can know who is all in their country to prevent major drug and sex trafficking
@95JRPYW3yrs3Y
Yes, but they have to be paying tax
@92CYJ2T3yrs3Y
No, why should a city who doesn't follow federal guidelines receive more money than a city that does follow federal guidelines
@8ZV8QCGRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes, only is they can show proof of becoming a citizen
@8Z9TG76Libertarian3yrs3Y
Sanctuary cities shouldn't be publicly funded but they shouldn't be banned either. Rather we should offer up citizenship.
@8YWYVGY3yrs3Y
There should be ways to slowly grant them citizenship and pay taxes.
@8YV2FZQ3yrs3Y
They should not receive federal funding for the use of Illegal immigrants short of helping to send them to their home country.
@8YSXXL23yrs3Y
No, but we should create a pathway to citizenship
@8YRH79K3yrs3Y
No because its not going to Americans
@8YM79T63yrs3Y
I am unsure/Lack the information to make a solid decision
@8XFM6VSProgressive4yrs4Y
It depends, if most residents in the sanctuary city pay taxes, then yes. if not, then no.
@8X67H7W4yrs4Y
Yes, and there should be a program for amnesty for undocumented immigrants
@8VJGXVCRepublican4yrs4Y
No, cities should not receive any federal funding
@8SJRRPT4yrs4Y
they don't comply with federal law, so no, but do believe they should be allowed to exist
@8SGJY6T4yrs4Y
The same funding other cities have
@8R8P9WY4yrs4Y
Sanctuary Cities should not exist because every land in the U.S should be like Sanctuary Cities.
@8QPMXHS4yrs4Y
No, this should be left to the states that want to adopt these policies.
@8QKRFD74yrs4Y
No, nothing should receive federal funding
@8Q2KPPF4yrs4Y
Yes, for programs where they can work while in the process of receiving a green card
@8PR5GWY4yrs4Y
Yes if the people in those cities pay taxes.
@8PGGKX75yrs5Y
Yes, and we should no longer allow for sanctuary cities.
@c4mmi35yrs5Y
Yes, all cities deserve funding
@8NYZK9V5yrs5Y
Yes, and they should get audited yearly.
@8NR2SJM5yrs5Y
Yes, sanctuary states need to be utilized to expedite the legal citizenship process, otherwise, they should be banned if they are simply harboring illegal immigrants.
@8LQMB3K5yrs5Y
i dont kow, id have to do more reasearch
Yes, with certain restrictions or certain applications
@8HH2LNQ5yrs5Y
No, sanctuary cities receive state funding
@8HM7P3D5yrs5Y
Am not informed enough to have an opinion
@9B4QGZC2yrs2Y
Yes, all humans deserve rights and decency
@97BZKD23yrs3Y
I do think they should receive some funding with restrictions.
@96SH32ZLibertarian3yrs3Y
yes, but only if they are actively housing asylum seekers.
Yes but on projects that are not used to support illegal activities. SC should still be doing background checks.
@8ZKXT593yrs3Y
Yes, but only as part of an integrated immigration program setup to allow immigrants to reside in the states and work towards citizenship.
@8YRHS293yrs3Y
Yes, but with the goal of either gaining their citizenship if they are going to live here, or they will have to return to their country after a designated amount of time.
@8T2V6GS4yrs4Y
no, because sanctuary cities are kind of against some of the federal governments stuff
@8LFPZQ3Libertarian5yrs5Y
No cities should get federal funding
@8GHX28Z5yrs5Y
Add common sense laws to begin legal immigration process for those who qualify
@8R8XD9Z4yrs4Y
I think that if the people who live there manage to maintain and demonstrate that they are capable of showing that they work hard for what they deserve, they will be given the opportunity to obtain the feral funding
