No, Ken Blackwell, Sanctuary City Policies aren't a Threat to Anyone

On Oct. 22, Ken Blackwell penned an op-ed for The Hill in which he argued that sanctuary policies pose a threat to “decent people.” I would like to address the claims Blackwell made, but let me begin by saying that I do not take issue with opposition to sanctuary policies. 

Discussing and debating these issues is at the core of American democracy. What I do take issue with is a debate almost completely devoid of the actual facts and which ignores the body of research that exists on sanctuary policies.
