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.

they should be able to receive federal funding, but it is only when necessary and they would have to abide by federal law to get it
@LennenMad 10mos10MO
No, these cities should be treated as embassies of the nationalities residing there, thus they require no funding from our federal government.
@9FPQSTV2yrs2Y
Should be funded by community
@9F8P4TZWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
No, but the people should still be supported.
@9D9TMQ2 2yrs2Y
Yes because a city is a city.
@8FNW7T35yrs5Y
Yes, but only legal citizens.
@96CGBD23yrs3Y
No, their states can provide funding if possible.
@95QZC7Y3yrs3Y
It should be a choice on ballots if someone wants their taxes to be used to fund sanctuary cities
@95QNTP2Libertarian3yrs3Y
No, sanctuary cities are good however, dependence on the government should be reduced
@9574FK63yrs3Y
Yes, If what they need the money for is a pressing issue. But opportunities should be presented not just money thrown at them.
@94RX24K3yrs3Y
no, I don't think so, but I also don't really understand.
@94CVFTJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if such a system should be coupled with a much larger path to citizenship program.
@944Y77Y3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should grant immigrants citizenship
@93YH8X73yrs3Y
No, because the federal government shouldn’t fund state entities
@93VMVJ83yrs3Y
Yes every city should not excluded from getting federal money but Ban sanctuary cities
@8YXHKTT3yrs3Y
Abolish the government and give equal opportunities.
@8YTLLH43yrs3Y
No, but sanctuary cities shouldn't be banned.
@8YSGF343yrs3Y
Yes, but only a little funding, and use the funding to help people gain legal citizenship
@8XVMVXPIndependent3yrs3Y
Federal funding could invite federal regulations. This issue needs to remain on a municipal level.
@8VFPHLVLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, but they should also be able to opt out of federal taxes if funding is cut.
@8TZ2DQR4yrs4Y
No, the local governments need to pay for it themselves
@8TYHGQ64yrs4Y
Yes, but funding should be split between the federal government and either the city, county, or state instead and reforms should be put in place to ensure that what happened to Kate Steinle doesn't happen again while still protecting law-abiding illegal immigrants from deportation.
@8TNLYVR4yrs4Y
Yes just like any cities but sanctuary cities should not receive more money then ant other cities
@8QRXTSP4yrs4Y
Yes, but inly for humanitarian aid
@8PYV7G24yrs4Y
No and ban santuary cities
@8PR397M4yrs4Y
There should be no sanctuary cities. Immigration policy should reflect all states and cities within the United States of America. If we have the ecosystem in place by which most Americans can grow their own vegetables, and not rely on what's available in grocery stores during plandemics, then we can handle vast multitudes of people coming into our Country, but without that infrastructure only burdens our existing economy. Many nations wanting to free up their own economy send their multitudes to Europe and America so that our economy is devastated, this has to stop, that is until such time as we can support them.
@8NM9SSW5yrs5Y
Yes, but only if the immigrants pay taxes and are not hard criminals.
@8NKP6JT5yrs5Y
They should receive the same amount of federal funding that any other city receives.
@8KQC2QD5yrs5Y
No, if only used for these types of programs
@8JJ5B7GLibertarian5yrs5Y
No cities should recieve *any* Federal Funding, except Washington DC.
@8HRHKGF5yrs5Y
Sanctuary cities should not receive federal funding and they should be charged with aiding and abetting criminals.
@8G564NQ5yrs5Y
Nowhere should receive “federal funding” because it’s just stolen funds being funneled back. The federal government needs to fund a national defense, and not really anything else. That money should’ve never left the states/individuals and been with the feds anyway.
@8DV9RGW5yrs5Y
No, and no cities should recieve federal funding.
@8DRD6VK5yrs5Y
Yes, they should receive the same federal funds as any other location.
@8DBPVWK5yrs5Y
No more funding than non-sanctuary cities
@8D723925yrs5Y
I don’t support the concept of sanctuary cities, but funding should not be withheld because of it. That’s nothing but political extortion.
@8D29Z2F5yrs5Y
Yes, use sanctuary cities as a way to acclimate immigrants to American society while they aquire a path to citizenship.
@9CKJQCN2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they fully cooperate with ICE
@9BMFMHP2yrs2Y
I think the city/ state should be responsible.
@9B6B3KW2yrs2Y
Depends unless those cities are already existing cities with many American citizens already living there (cutting off federal funding to those cities would basically leave those citizens high and dry)
@9867L8X2yrs2Y
No ban santuary cities and make rural areas santuary zones for illegal immigrants
@97PWB7L3yrs3Y
Sanctuary cities are a form of state nullification
@8YRKVPH3yrs3Y
I don’t understand this question.
@8V9TCKQ4yrs4Y
Sanctuary cites should be funded by private charity’s
@8G7F9S25yrs5Y
Should receive the same funding as any other city, no more no less
@9VF8C7W 8mos8MO
The Bible talks about cities of refuge in cases of accidental death.
I only believe in sanctuary cities for those convicted of involuntary manslaughter
