Drawing on a new dataset of sanctuary and nonsanctuary cities, we theorize that policy adoption is driven primarily by two factors and their interaction: the size of the foreign-born population and local partisanship. We examine cities that passed sanctuary policies between 2000 and 2018 and compare these localities to nonsanctuaries. Using a novel time series cross-section dataset (TSCS) of all cities and designated places and a Cox proportional hazard model, we find that Democratic-leaning cities with high foreign-born populations predict sanctuary passage, whereas Republican-leaning cities with larger foreign-born populations are unlikely to adopt these policies. We thus find that while partisanship motivates sanctuary policy adoption, at the same time, the size of the foreign-born population also increases the likelihood of passage.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10780874231152786 Sanctuary cities, Immigration, State and local politics, Latino politics. 48574 Urban Affairs Review URBAN DEVELOPMENT AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 403126 IIPA IIPA 2024-11-05 60(1), Jan, 2024: p.49-72 AR133475 2024-11-05 AR
