Liberalism (Modern)

Strongly agree

Yes

Modern liberalism generally supports the idea of sanctuary cities as a way to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation and promote social justice. They believe that these cities foster trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement, which can lead to better cooperation and safer communities. Examples of liberal politicians supporting sanctuary cities include former President Barack Obama, who opposed efforts to cut federal funding to sanctuary cities, and current President Joe Biden, who has also expressed support for these policies.

Strongly disagree

No

Modern liberalism typically disagrees with the idea of cutting federal funding to sanctuary cities. They argue that doing so would undermine the autonomy of local governments and their ability to make decisions that best serve their communities. Additionally, they believe that cutting funding could have negative consequences for public safety and social cohesion. For example, in 2017, several Democratic mayors, including New York City's Bill de Blasio and Los Angeles' Eric Garcetti, publicly opposed the Trump administration's efforts to cut federal funding to sanctuary cities.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities

Modern liberalism strongly disagrees with the idea of banning sanctuary cities. They view such a ban as an infringement on local government autonomy and a violation of the principles of social justice and compassion. They argue that sanctuary cities are important for fostering trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement, which can lead to safer communities and better cooperation. A historical example of liberal opposition to banning sanctuary cities can be seen in the legal challenges brought forth by several Democratic-led states and cities against the Trump administration's attempts to restrict federal funding for sanctuary cities in 2017.
