Majority of Voters Say Justice Dept Should Penalize ‘Sanctuary Cities’ Housing Illegals

FreeBeacon.com:

A majority of likely U.S. voters believe the Justice Department should take legal action against cities that provide sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Friday, 62 percent of likely voters say the Justice Department should penalize “sanctuary cities” that do not comply with the federal government’s immigration laws.

The poll comes as sanctuary cities undergo extra scrutiny following last week’s murder of a San Francisco woman suspected to have been carried out by an illegal immigrant.

Only 26 percent oppose the federal government taking legal action against such cities, and 12 percent of likely voters are undecided on the issue.

Furthermore, a majority of 58 percent agree that the federal government should cut off funds to these sanctuary cities for providing asylum for illegal immigrants to the U.S., while 32 percent oppose such punishment.

Ignore the liberal lies out there. This issue isn't about an 'entire race of people' as some hyperbole's on the Left would like you to believe. It's about people, of any race, coming into this country illegally and on top of that committing crimes while they're here. Those are the people who need to be deported and stay deported and any person or town that protects them needs to feel the full force of the law.
