Sanctuary cities are safer ? Liberals repeat it but is there any evidence ? (illegal, illegals)

[jm1982]

I hear it often repeated by liberals that sanctuary cities are safer .

If one zoomed in and focuses on only the neighborhoods that have a high number of illegals there is no way this is true .

Los Angeles for example is a huge city . There are some very safe areas yet they are very high income and unlikely to have illegals living there .

One should be focusing on sanctuary neighborhoods. The sanctuary neighborhoods in L.A have high crime rates and are not what one would consider safe .

Just one of many of the deceptive lies the left repeats over and over .

Yes, there have been studies showing that is the case. Of course the poorer neighborhoods have higher crime but that's true even without any immigration.

I dont think I ever heard anyone say it.

Sanctuary cities are most definitely safer.....

For the illegals.

Yep that’s the truth.

Rather than just saying bs or just going with the gut feeling that "it doesn't seem right" do you have studies to point to that counter those that show there is less of a crime rate?

[whogo]

Even if they are correlation does not prove causation. Why would declaring a city a sanctuary city suddenly make it safer or make it safer in the long run?

I honestly don't know enough about this issue to respond personally but did some research --
here's what I found.
