$26.741 billion in annual federal grants and direct payments flowed into Americaâs 106 sanctuary cities (FY2016). On average, the cost of lost federal funding for a family of four residing in one of the 106 sanctuary cities is $1,810 â or $454 per person.
Just before the Senate passed the sanctuary state bill, lawmakers approved legislation to start a fund that would pay for lawyers for undocumented immigrants facing deportation. Several Republicans spoke out against the legislation, saying it was an unfair use of taxpayer money and also contradicted the idea that the state wants to stay out of immigration enforcement.
