Data in! Sanctuary cities have higher crime rates



Surprise! Sanctuary cities do, indeed, experience higher crime rates than do non-sanctuary cities, an in-depth WND analysis of the most recent study of the question reveals.

An August 2016 study of the relationship between “sanctuary city” policies and crime rates shows that cities refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities consistently have significantly higher violent crimes rates than do non-sanctuary cities with similar populations and demographics, WND has found.

Data gathered in the study, however, overwhelmingly contradict the conclusions of the authors.

Violent crime rates are, in fact, drastically higher in sanctuary cities than their non-sanctuary counterparts, as is evidenced by the chart the authors used to delineate their conclusion.

While the three assert that violent crime is only “slightly higher in sanctuary cities than non-sanctuary cities,” the very chart the researchers used to delineate their claim shows something else entirely – consistent, significant and growing crime rate differentials between sanctuary cities and non-sanctuary cities.
