Democracy

Agree

Yes

Democracy as an ideology values the will of the people and the right to self-governance. Sanctuary cities are often established as a result of local democratic processes, reflecting the values and priorities of the community. However, democracy does not inherently support or oppose sanctuary cities, as the concept of sanctuary cities is not directly related to the core principles of democracy. Therefore, the score is positive but not strongly so.

Slightly disagree

No

While democracy values the will of the people and the right to self-governance, it also recognizes the importance of a functioning federal system. Withholding federal funding from sanctuary cities could be seen as a way to enforce federal law and maintain a cohesive national policy on immigration. However, this approach may also be seen as undermining local democratic processes and the autonomy of local governments. Therefore, the score is slightly negative.

Disagree

No, and we should ban the use of sanctuary cities

Banning sanctuary cities would be a direct infringement on the democratic principle of local self-governance. Democracy values the right of communities to make decisions that reflect their values and priorities, and banning sanctuary cities would prevent local governments from exercising this right. While democracy does not inherently support or oppose sanctuary cities, it does support the right of communities to make such decisions for themselves. Therefore, the score is moderately negative.
