Furthermore Jan C. ting asserts cities are able to challenge states laws regarding immigration but that “those laws enacted by Congress under the authority of the U.S. Constitution need to be respected and enforced.” This goes to show that if cities remain sanctuary than they are defining and going against the authority of the U.S. Constitution. The defiance leads to a questioning on the constitutional progress of the country. And they would be defying the Presidents orders. If the cities do decide

My fellow congress men and women, sanctuary cities have been a danger to our citizens for years. They are defined by the department of justice as a local governmental entity that does not repost that there are aliens in custody. Some cities include Louisville Kentucky, Springfield Oregon, West Palm Beach Florida, and many others stated by the Center for Immigration Studies. By decreasing the funding of these cities we can surely reduce the damage these cities are having on the normal populations. Damage including making a dangour environment for citizens, the cities are breaking federal laws, and the trade off between illegal immigrants or citizens in poverty.

An “Illegal Immigrant” is someone who avoids inspection and/or overstays the period of time given to them as a tourist, business person, or a visitor(Dictonary.com). Illegal Immigrants need Sanctuary cities and open borders, but in reality, Sanctuary cites do not need Illegal Immigrants, and open borders because they are very well populated. According to Daily Signal, a news organization for society, news editor Josh Siegel posted a chart of the top U.S cities with the highest illegal population. The current population census in the top four sanctuary cities that are listed below are: Los Angeles, 4,041,707 people(Grad), New York City 8,537,637 people(ny.gov), Chicago 2,720,546 people (United States Census Bureau), and lastly Seattle, 684,451(Schlosser). Los Angeles and New York City, both have the highest estimated illegal population, and population census. So, if they do not put some effort in by making immigrants follow the legal process to become a citizen in the United States, then ICE will come and start deporting illegals which could decline Los Angeles, and New York City’s population drastically. Well, actually most city administrators think it is politically correct to have Sanctuary cities regardless of the consequences are looming around because it is a political agenda that Democrats favor more than the Republicans. Illegal Immigration and the

Are undocumented immigrants the ones that’re making our crime rates sky rocket? Are sanctuary cities helping out the needy undocumented immigrants or are they just letting anybody from anywhere come and do as they please? This could either become an enormous issue with the people, government, and the ones wanting to come here for freedom and safety or this could be a new beginning where people will start to notice how essential sanctuary cities could be. What are sanctuary cities and what do they do? A sanctuary city is a city where the local law enforcement will not be working with the federal authorities to deport undocumented immigrants.

Any place of refuge or asylum can be a sanctuary, though there is no specific legal definition to what constitutes a sanctuary jurisdiction. These communities can be states, cities or counties with established policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation. The state of Maryland is pushing for a bill that will limit available state and local resources during the enforcement of immigration laws. Whilst some people are of an opinion that the state government should not be writing laws shielding illegal immigrants from US federal government immigration laws, others maintain that Maryland officials should move forward with their ideas of a sanctuary. There is debate over the safety of immigrants and of

So, what are sanctuary cities? Sanctuary cities allow undocumented people to live productive and normal lives without having official documentation. Although every sanctuary city differs in specific policy, they tend to share the same goal of creating systems, like state IDs for non-residents, that allow undocumented people to hold steady jobs and contribute to their communities. Perhaps most significant, they do not conduct unnecessary immigration status checks every time someone enters police custody.

For instance, Sanctuary cities are basically magnets for undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. that have committed a crime elsewhere. These cities are also making police jobs worthless if they are not allowed to keep these criminals off the streets by not asking if they are U.S. citizens. If police were allowed to question individuals about their papers and, cities would be safer knowing that there are less undocumented immigrants as well as potential unsafe drivers on the roads and in other situations as well. Thus making citizens feel safer of their surroundings knowing that there is a decreased chance of being hurt in some way or another by living in a sanctuary city. Also, without sanctuary cities, people would be a lot happier and might even make the moral of the community better.

This writer believes that introduction of the controversial S.B. 1070 was formulated over generations of hate that has been building up from the lack of the federal government to adequately regulate immigration on the southern border of the United States. When Arizona presented the controversial S.B. 1070, this caused many Hispanics across the state to feel “elements of racial profiling, causing fear, confusion, and race-based hostility toward them and their communities” (Campbell, 2011, p 19). However, what many Hispanics do not understand is that the Arizona has been, over time, attempting to pass and also implement other variations of anti-immigration laws, which many have begun to call “e state-sanctioned ethnic-cleansing

When discussing current events, however, we need to refine this definition. An article, titled “Sanctuary Cities in Name Only,” does a spectacular job in defining “sanctuary” very specifically in the context of current events. According to the article, to become a sanctuary, cities should never allow local police to “detain noncitizens on the federal government’s behalf.” Repeatedly, this article highlights the important role that local police departments have in carrying out Trump’s mass deportation plan. How can ICE, by itself, track and sort millions of unauthorized immigrants in the country? It is frankly impossible, but it relies on the help of local police departments to

1793 was the first known start of what is now known today as Sanctuary Cities except back then it was called “The Fugitive Slave Act.” The sanctuary city was home to America’s first significant class of refugees or fugitive slaves as they were called back then (Baker, 2017). The name “sanctuary cities” comes from the 1980s protests of federal immigration policies that refused shelter to refugees from El Salvador and Guatemala. San Francisco led the way by passing a city ordinance in 1985 that specifically prohibited city police or civil magistrates from helping federal immigration officers, more cities followed suit. So did organizations not license by the state, like churches. H. Robert Baker who is a Professor

On “Dia Sin Latinos” on February 18 in 2016, along with about 20,000 people, I marched around the Wisconsin State Capitol, in Madison, in protest against the proposed “AB 450”. Assembly Bill 450, known as the “sanctuary cities bill” wanted a fine on cities that did not allow police officers to ask people about their immigration status, Allowing police officers to come up to random, innocent people and ask to see their papers. While Scott Walker and republicans say that “AB 450 is about making communities safer,” It clearly promotes racial profiling and would create a sense of fear of the police within a major part of the latino community. I do not see at all how it would make

Sanctuary cities upkeep criminals, thus creating and unsafe environment of U.S. citizens. One major example of this was the death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.

The name “sanctuary cities” comes from the 1980s protests of federal immigration policies that refused shelter to refugees from El Salvador and Guatemala. It all began when the Salvadoran government had inflicted martial law on all its citizens, which in effect pronounced the beginning of mass killings in the country. The movement was formed to offer protection to these undocumented refugees that were fleeing the Central American wars that plagued their homes. An estimated 18,000 to 20,000 people were killed or “disappeared” in the 1980’s alone. Thousands of Salvadorans fled the violence, coming north through Mexico to the United States. In July of 1980, two dozen or more Salvadorans who were crossing the Sonoran Desert were deserted by their

If these laws are not enforced, public safety, especially in sanctuary cities, may become dangerous. Today, this law is in the House in an effort to prevent another situation similar to this tragedy, and passed with an overwhelming majority of 257-167 (Clark, 2017).
