MOST AMERICANS, ESPECIALLY MINORITIES, SAY NO TO SANCTUARY CITIES Poll: Only 1 in 3 wants own community to protect illegals

The sanctuary movement in the U.S. – the cities, counties and states that refuse to cooperate with the federal government in the prosecution and deportation of illegal aliens – is extensive, with some estimates saying 300 cities take part

But a new poll finds that only one in four Republicans and unaffiliated voters favor living in such a community. A full 40 percent of all voters think “sanctuary communities are less safe than communities that do not protect illegal immigrants from federal authorities.”

The results come from a new Rasmussen poll conducted March 22-23.

The margin of sampling error is plus or minute three percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

In November, a Rasmussen poll found 50 percent of voters said the U.S. Justice Department “should take legal action against cities that provide sanctuary for illegal immigrants.”

The same poll discovered “52 percent still want to cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities.”

The new results were reported Friday.
