   New York City has been named the "worst" sanctuary city in the   
   U.S. by a hawkish immigration group, just as the Big Apple’s   
   mayor continues to feud with the governor of Texas over the   
   busing of migrants into the city.   
      
   The Immigration Reform Law Institute, the legal arm of the   
   Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), published its   
   list of "worst" sanctuary jurisdictions on Tuesday, and put New   
   York City at the top.   
      
   "Sanctuary" jurisdictions are those that bar local law   
   enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration agencies.   
   Such cities and states will typically also move to abolish any   
   distinction between legal and illegal immigration.   
      
   IRLI says that New York has "doubled down" on its sanctuary   
   policies to go from second in the rankings in 2019 to top spot.   
   It cited New York City Council’s passing of legislation granting   
   noncitizens the right to vote in local elections, the banning of   
   the use of "illegal alien" and the release of thousands of   
   criminal illegal immigrants back onto its streets.

   Behind New York City in the rankings was Los Angeles in second   
   place, followed by Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco,   
   Minneapolis and Seattle. Behind them were Wake County in North   
   Carolina, Middlesex County in New Jersey and Portland, Oregon.   
      
   "These communities have earned their places on this list because   
   of incredibly poor leadership at the city, county and state   
   levels," Dale Wilcox, IRLI’s executive director and general   
   counsel, said in a statement. "Data overwhelmingly shows that   
   sanctuary policies lead to more crime, fear and death. The   
   leaders of these communities should not escape accountability   
   for the damage they have caused. Their residents deserve much   
   more."   
      
   Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director   
   Tom Homan, also an IRLI senior fellow, says that sanctuary   
   policies only provide sanctuary to criminals.

   "Immigrant communities don’t want criminals in their   
   neighborhoods either. Victims and witnesses of crime don’t want   
   the offender back in their communities to seek revenge," he   
   said. "All communities deserve protection from criminals but   
   sanctuary policies put immigrant communities at greater risk of   
   crime."   
      
   Supporters of sanctuary cities say they allow illegal immigrants   
   to get the services they need without fear, and encourage them   
   to cooperate with law enforcement on other matters without   
   fearing deportation. Opponents say it allows for the release of   
   criminals onto the streets who would otherwise be removed from   
   the country.   
      
   The ranking comes as Mayor Eric Adams, who has backed New York   
   City’s sanctuary city status, has called for federal help after   
   Texas has started busing a few thousand migrants to the city’s   
   Port Authority. Adams recently said that 4,000 migrants have   
   entered the city’s homeless system in recent months.   
      
   "We just need help. We need help," Adams said in a press   
   conference last week, calling for federal aid including from   
   FEMA.   
      
   He’s also blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on multiple occasions:   
      
   "He is an anti-American governor that is really going against   
   everything we stand for," he said about Abbott Thursday. "And I   
   am going to do everything feasible to make sure the people of   
   Texas realize how harmful he is to us globally."   
      
   Abbott has pointed to New York City’s sanctuary status as a   
   reason for why the migrants are being sent there and has noted   
   that the numbers are a fraction of the massive numbers   
   encountered at the border.   
      
   "If the mayors of America’s most populous city and the nation’s   
   capital are complaining about a few thousand migrants, imagine   
   what these small border communities with more limited resources   
   face on the frontlines," Abbott said in a recent piece for Fox   
   News Opinion.
