As Governor, I\u2019d like to make it a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While neighboring Maryland and Pennsylvania have a <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Map-Sanctuary-Cities-Counties-and-States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">host<\/a> of sanctuary counties, Capito said that West Virginia would never let that happen, calling their very existence a \u201cslap in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of so-called \u2018sanctuary cities\u2019 \u2013 where the rule of law is disregarded \u2013 is a slap in the face to our democracy,\u201d he told The Daily Wire. \u201cLook at liberal bastions like California and New York. Their sanctuary status tells people it\u2019s fine to break the law. It\u2019s a message that encourages crime. How\u2019s that going for them?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In the ad, Capito highlighted\u00a0his work in the state legislature last year to help pass a <a href=\"https:\/\/legiscan.com\/WV\/text\/HB2008\/id\/2747701\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure<\/a> that effectively bans sanctuary cities by requiring all local entities to cooperate with the enforcement of immigration laws. Capito, who stepped down from the legislature in December to campaign for governor, was House Judiciary chair when the anti-sanctuary city measure made it through both chambers and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theintelligencer.net\/news\/top-headlines\/2023\/04\/capito-co-sponsoring-bill-to-ban-sanctuary-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed<\/a> by Republican Governor Jim Justice.<\/p>\n<p>Capito said that the total number of illegal immigrants who have entered under President Joe Biden is more than three times the population of West Virginia. He said under his leadership the state would take action to make sure that illegal immigrants do not make their way into West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do things differently in West Virginia,\u201d Capito said. \u201cWe support law enforcement. Since Biden refused to secure our southern border, we took legislative action to protect public safety by banning sanctuary cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Other Republican gubernatorial candidates for West Virginia include Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, businessman Chris Miller, and Secretary of State Mac Warner.
