A new analysis reveals that approximately 8 million illegal aliens reside in sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States.
of analysis Approximately 7.9 million undocumented immigrants reside in sanctuary states, counties, and cities, according to research from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which tracks sanctuary jurisdictions that protect illegal aliens from federal immigration law. It turns out.
“Although there are significant inaccuracies in the data, the bottom line is that nearly 8 million undocumented immigrants, or 56 percent of the national total, live in sanctuary jurisdictions,” said Jason Richwine of CIS. is writing.
Specifically, approximately 6.3 million illegal aliens reside in the sanctuary states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. Rich Wine has discovered.
In addition, more than 750,000 illegal aliens live in Maryland, New Mexico, and Virginia, where many protected areas are located.
More than 820,000 illegal aliens live in sanctuary counties and cities in nonsanctuary states, such as Douglas County, Kansas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Richwine suggests states follow the example of immigrant-heavy states Texas and Florida, which have banned sanctuary jurisdictions.
“These two states do not have local sanctuaries due to state-wide bans. Every state should follow that lead,” Richwine wrote. “Eliminating sanctuary is one of the most important steps states can take to support the Trump administration's enforcement.”
Incoming border czar Thomas Homan is calling on sanctuary states and counties to end policies that protect illegal aliens from federal immigration laws and make it more complicated for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to make arrests. He pointed out that he was doing so.
“I want to send a clear message: If you put us in jail, we can arrest bad people in prison and within the safety and security of prison. ” Homan said. said Fox News. “One officer can do it, but when you put a threat to public safety back into the community, you put the community at risk. You put my officer at risk. You. puts aliens at risk.”
