"Very well organized and presented, this study will be useful to
both scholars and policy makers." -- C.K. Piehl, emeritus,

"This is a very important book that takes a holistic approach to
examining sanctuary city policy historically and explains the
contemporary consequences of reframing this issue for Latino
communities today. This book is not just a resource with innovative
data and methodology; it provides a powerful historical theoretical
explanation for the way elite, media, and mass opinion and behavior
change around the issue of sanctuary cities. This book is a
must-read for
anyone studying public policy and opinion formation." -- Jessica
Lavariega Monforti, editor of Latinos in the American Political
System
"This truly massive deep dive into 35 years of history and data
related to sanctuary policies represents a model of good social
science. Collingwood and Gonzalez O'Brien aim in these pages to
change the national conversation about a controversial and
increasingly polarized issue. In a compelling, accessible narrative
backed up with hard facts, they succeed in bolstering claims made
by pro-sanctuary advocates and dismissing claims made by sanctuary
opponents.
This book is sure to become a well-cited resource for those seeking
to preserve and expand sanctuary policies." -- Melissa R.
Michelson, Menlo College
"Collingwood and Gonzalez O'Brien's brief yet comprehensive guide
to sanctuary cities illustrates how opposition to sanctuary
policies is driven by partisanship and demographic change rather
than crime or the economy, while also demonstrating that sanctuary
policies have a range of positive outcomes. This book will be an
indispensable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in
this timely, important, and provocative issue." -- Deborah J.
Schildkraut,
Tufts University
