Like I said, there are things we should be able to agree on. I have no problem saying that, on these points, I can agree with LM, and the author of this article.Well, sure... but you'd be wrong.
Sanctuary cities often improve public safety. Without fear of deportation, immigrants are more likely to report abuses, crimes, and cooperate with investigations.
Counties with sanctuary policies have, on average, fewer crimes committed compared to non-sanctuary counties.
Median household annual income is, on average, higher in sanctuary counties compared to non-sanctuary counties. The poverty rate is lower. The unemployment rate is lower.
Protecting immigrant neighbors is economically advantageous.
And then there's the Constitution’s Tenth Amendment thingy.
