Summary: A Stanford study shows that in California, the amount of hit and runs decreased when driver's licenses were offered to illegal imiigrants. This is because immigrants are afraid to be caught driving without a license and especially in the circumstance of a car accident.
Analysis: Research has demonstrated the ide that sanctuary policies provide a safer environment because illegal immigrants become less afraid to make small encounters with law enforcement. Therefore, they can communicate to them when they see illegal activity.

I think this is great, this is helping our country be defined as 'the free' with helping immigrants to have more rights as citizens.
