If you're opposed to "big government," you should be for sanctuary cities: local police (and the tax dollars you pay them to operate) shouldn't be wasted on the work of the Federal Government (which handles immigration and customs matters).

If you want a "safe city," you should be for sanctuary cities: if people of color and immigrants, many of whom are here legally, feel as though they or their friends and family will be arrested, detained, questioned, or otherwise harassed over immigration matters, they won't talk to the police. They need to TRUST the police, report crime, give witness statements, etc, in order for the police to be able to enforce the laws effectively. People trust the police in sanctuary cities.

Sanctuary cities are AFFORDABLE and SAFE cities.

The facts don't lie. There are no reasons to oppose sanctuary cities other than bigoted, outdated views of "them" taking from "us."
