Crime rate plummets when Phoenix drops sanctuary city policies

A study by City.com reveals that the crime rate in Phoenix dropped dramatically after the city dropped its sanctuary city policies.

There are many reason why crime rates decline over a certain period of time. But the study suggests a provacative link between fewer criminal illegal aliens roaming the streets and a falling crime rate.

Breitbart:

“When we eliminated our sanctuary policy back in 2008, we saw crime, violent and stolen vehicles fall by 25 percent,” former Phoenix police officer and Executive Director of the Arizona Police Association Levi Bolton told Fox News Channel’s William La Jeunesse in an . “We saw a 20-year low crime rate. When we were allowed and had the discretion to contact our federal immigration partners, crime fell drastically.”

Lajeunesse reported data from City-Data.com revealing that from 2008 to 2009, the murder rate in Phoenix dropped by 27 percent. Other crimes fell as well. Auto thefts fell by 36 percent, robberies 23 percent, thefts by 19 percent, burglaries by 14 percent, and assaults by 13 percent, the report states. The rates fell again in 2010, but by smaller numbers. The overall crime index fell by 20 percent the first year after the city’s policy change.

Police chiefs around the country tout that sanctuary cities are safer than cities that actually turn criminal aliens over to immigration officials for removal from the country.

“Police chiefs across the nation believe that enlisting local police to enforce immigration law is a bad idea,” California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon (D) told reporters during a recent press conference “Having [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] pluck criminals out of jail and send them across the border or wherever they came only to come right back endangers our communities.”

Police chiefs of major cities are generally just one step away from making it into the upper levels of state politics. If the state’s political bigwigs want sanctuary cities then these dirtbags will say whatever it is that will get them the nod and the monies to move up to the next level. Reducing crime in their cities is way down the list of priorities for them.

Yeah but the faggot liberals would prefer high crime as long as their agenda is met. And as long as they're not the ones being murdered.

This is quite major news.

I was told by someone I know who works for the PHX PD that it is common for illegal alien criminals to be released and never show up for their court dates. Of course, they drop their fake IDs and just use one of their other fake IDs.

I’d wager that some decided to lay low instead of being blatant because now it carries a penalty....

Staggering figures unsurprising to any but incendiary dementiacrat cream-puffs. Who would gladly sacrifice the well-being, even the very lives of Americans in exchange for an absurd agenda stacked with lies.

“ ... murder rate in Phoenix dropped by 27 percent. Other crimes fell as well. Auto thefts fell by 36 percent, robberies 23 percent, thefts by 19 percent, burglaries by 14 percent, and assaults by 13 percent, the report states.”
