Political Group Survey: the AFA survey question on defunding sanctuary cities
Source: AFA Survey
The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws'?
Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
Also see the AFA survey question on E-verify as a related survey question; the Christian Coalition survey question on border security from a similar survey question; and the 2018 PVS survey question on rejecting amnesty.
