Strongly agree

Yes

The Democratic party generally supports sanctuary cities as they believe in protecting undocumented immigrants from deportation and ensuring their access to essential services. For example, in 2017, Democratic lawmakers in California passed the 'California Values Act,' which limited state and local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. However, not all Democrats are in complete agreement on this issue, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Strongly disagree

No

The majority of Democrats would disagree with withholding federal funding from sanctuary cities, as they believe that these cities provide a safe environment for undocumented immigrants and promote trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement. In 2017, Democratic mayors from cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining sanctuary city policies despite threats from the Trump administration to cut federal funding.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities

The Democratic party strongly disagrees with banning sanctuary cities, as they view these policies as essential for protecting undocumented immigrants and fostering trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement. For example, in 2019, the House of Representatives, led by a Democratic majority, passed the 'American Dream and Promise Act,' which aimed to provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants, including those living in sanctuary cities.
