More than half of all the illegals in America are being shield from their crime in the so-called “sanctuary cities” and counties all across America according to a new report.
The report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has tracked America’s sanctuary jurisdictions and found that 7.9 million illegals reside in those areas of the country.
“Although there is much imprecision in the data, the bottom line is that close to eight million illegal aliens, equaling 56 percent of the estimated nationwide total, live in sanctuary jurisdictions,” CIS’s Jason Richwine reported.
The data indicates that most of these lawbreaking illegals, 6.3 million, live in a handful of the bluest states. That list includes California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington.
New Mexico, Maryland, and Virginia, all of which have so-called sanctuary jurisdictions, account for another 750,000 illegals. Meanwhile, another 820,00 live in Kansas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Richwine points out that two high immigration states, Texas and Florida, have banned sanctuary policies and he suggests that all other states adopt that rule.
“Those two states have no local sanctuaries because they ban them statewide. Every state should follow their lead,”” Richwine explained. “Eliminating sanctuaries is one of the most important steps that states can take to assist the Trump administration with enforcement.”
Donald Trump is promising to initiate the largest deportation machine in U.S. history once he takes office on January 20, 2025.
