Analysis Of Donald Trump's 100 Day Plan

"The federal government doesn't always fully reimburse these localities for the expenses uncured for incarcerate them. So they'd rather just say no to the federal government," explains Political Scientist at Elmira College, Dr. Jim Twombly. President Trump has said he will fine any community deeming itself a sanctuary city. "Now the president is saying 'well okay, I'm going to double punish you. I'm not only going to reimburse you for that incarceration, I'm going to take away other funds the federal government would give to you," says Twombly.

As Donald Trump’s presidency unfolds his promise to crack down on immigration and cut funding to sanctuary cities is becoming a reality, however, each city is handling it differently. Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump promised to crack down on illegal immigrants and “sanctuary cities”. Sanctuary city is a vague term that is being thrown around right now. It loosely refers to a towns or cities that don’t immediately turn over illegals who commit small crimes, and don’t cooperate fully with immigration services (“Sanctuary Cities: Top 3 Pros and Cons”). Most Texas cities have vowed to remain loyal to their citizens, and not rip families apart due to politics and money. Cutting federal funding to a city is not an

A congress current event is the measures that the government wants to imply to sanctuary cities.’’ Legislation directed at sanctuary cities will likely contain defunding provisions, and attempt to establish more prescriptive immigration laws. Now the 115th Congress, both the Senate and House have each introduced anti-sanctuary city bills. On Jan. 3, 2017, Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., introduced H.R.83’’ “Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act,” and on Jan. 10, 2017, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., introduced S.87 “A bill to ensure that state and local law enforcement may cooperate with federal officials to protect our communities from violent criminals and suspected terrorists who are illegally present in the United States.”

Imagine you have a bowl of M&M’s and you have the option to eat as many or as few as you want. However, for every 1,000 M&M’s in the bowl there is one that is poisoned. Your odds are still good! Just pray you don’t get that one M&M that can end your life. While most would use common sense and say that eating the M&M’s are too risky, this game of life and death occurs when we allow illegal immigrants to stay in America. Sanctuary Cities are notorious for taking this risk and they have started seeing the result of eating the wrong M&M.

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

First of all, the U.S Constitution protects these sanctuary cities. Since federal government and state government. If the city in the state decides to become a sanctuary city, there should be nothing in the way of them. The federal government shouldn’t intervene into something that they shouldn’t be in. Good relationships with local law enforcement and the people of the city documented or not, is essential in order for prosperous growth. When the people of the city and the law enforcement can help each other and communicate without fear of being deported or stripped from their family, then that city should be an example for all others. Protecting these undocumented immigrants from unjust Federal Immigration Laws should be one of the main goals. The government is taking the hard working people that have been here their entire lives. Trump’s idea of sanctuary cities is a bit blurry due to the fact that he only looks at crimes. Trump does not look at all the important things that undocumented people and families do like work the jobs that no one else wants to do. They do it efficiently as well, it’s not like if they do a bad job. Undocumented immigrants are actually working the fields putting all the food that other people use on their plates. As a matter of fact, now that Mr. Trump wants to build “a giant beautiful wall”, most of the people that will be actually building will

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

Sanctuary cities are considered to be havens for undocumented immigrants who have entered the United States for economic opportunities, to escape violence, or other various reasons. One of the first sanctuary cities in the country was Los Angeles, which along with the rest of Los Angeles County is home to roughly 814,000 undocumented immigrants as of 2013 (PPIC). Many of these undocumented immigrants have never committed a criminal act outside of the civil offence of entering the country without the proper immigration documents. While there may be flaws to sanctuary cities, Los Angeles’ status as a sanctuary city is vital to the protection of not only the undocumented immigrants living there but the rest of the community as well.

On April 23rd, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070, “The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” which it gives the police authority to check immigration status of any individual. The main intention of SB1070 is to cut down a majority of the illegal immigrants entering the United States by having the immigrants carry immigration papers to prove their identification of their legal status. However, SB1070 had focused more on trying to secure the border resulting into taking the citizens’ constitutional rights while causing uproar with a large amount of controversy. The senate bill 1070 that has been passed is causing racial profiling, unconstitutional acts, and has put the federal government into question

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

Can sanctuary cities be effective in both the policing and protection of undocumented citizens and if so, how will they regulate the population in question? A main issue being displayed here is a lack of standardized regulations being set by sanctuary cities. Instead of setting a precedent of resisting government immigration policies, these efforts would better have spent towards setting up and promoting programs that assist illegal immigrants in becoming American citizens. This paper will look at articles regarding sanctuary cities from Slate, Vox and the Wall Street Journal and decide which has the strongest argument.

A sanctuary city is a city where that specific city limits there laws to enforce immigration laws. Sanctuary cities are located all across the country. The area where there is the most of are the coast and are located near some major airports. There are many pros and cons to these things. President Donald Trump is very against these. On his 5th day in office he tried to support immigration enforcement. He has even signed an executive order denying any funding toward sanctuary cities. It's a very confusing topic. Since there really is no law many immigrants who live there can get away with anything. About 80% of the United States citizens oppose these cities because of taxes, crime, and many more things.

Somehow, it encourages a better relationship between the undocumented immigrants and law enforcement. 70% of undocumented immigrants and 44% of Latinos, not living in sanctuary cities, are less likely to report if they were the victim of crime and 45% of Latinos are less likely report crimes or voluntarily offer information about a crime. This is because undocumented immigrants and Latinos fear police officers would ask about their immigration status. Though, these undocumented immigrants do not need sanctuary cities to cooperate with law enforcement. There is already an existing law in place called a U visa. This U visa is set aside for victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity. It protects them and their family sanctuary from deportation. Evidently, these undocumented immigrants can still keep their community safe by interacting with law enforcement without living in a sanctuary city, all it takes is a U

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).
