6. The Hill reported on February 27:

A survey from Harvard–Harris Poll found that 80 percent of voters say local authorities should have to comply with the law by reporting to federal agents the illegal immigrants they come into contact with.

Hundreds of cities across the nation — many with Democratic mayors or city councils — are refusing to do so [and have declared their cities to be “sanctuary cities,” which are cities which permit residence by illegal immigrants to help them avoid deportation.].

President Trump has signed an executive order directing Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to find ways to [cut] federal funding to these sanctuary cities. A Reuters analysis found the top 10 sanctuary cities in the U.S. receive $2.27 billion in federal funding for programs ranging from public health services to early childhood education.

The Harvard–Harris Poll survey found strong support for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, with 77 percent saying they support comprehensive immigration reform against only 23 percent who oppose.

“While there is broad support for comprehensive immigration reform, there is overwhelming opposition to sanctuary cities,” said Harvard–Harris co-director Mark Penn. “The public wants honest immigrants treated fairly and those who commit crimes deported and that's very clear from the data.”

The finding is one of several in the survey that show President Trump has support for some of the…immigration proposals [strongly opposed by progressives] that were a hallmark of his campaign.
