Darkness overpowers the room, except for the light beaming in around the shades. The rush of the water comforts the undesired awakening of the peace of night. The shades open, and now light floods in. The beauty of the evergreen trees and decaying bamboo sit perched on the windowsill. The white acrylic room accompanied by diverse accents glistens in the new daylight. My personal sanctuary contains the comfort of a hug when alone. The ornate room looks completed with the sophisticated lace white and ice blue linen lying over the comforting bed. A frame of a memory rests on the stained adjacent glass table. Hanging on the wall, words of wisdom look down onto a spotless surface surrounded with special items. My pristine workspace, lavished by

According to Fox News, in the 2017 Texas Legislature session, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated he expected the Texas Legislature to pass Senate Bill 4, requiring local governments to enforce migrant detainees at local jails and withhold state grants if they do not comply. Thus, sanctuary cities within the State are no longer permitted without financial repercussion. Senator Charles Perry, the bill’s sponsor, stated “President-elect Donald Trump’s election made it clear that immigration must be a priority. Thus, local policies cannot be allowed to undercut state and federal policies (Ward 2017).” Although there is a concern that illegal immigrants commit crimes and take
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
Most people’s families have that immigrated to America generations ago. Thus, they do not understand the difficulties of immigrating to America. In the last 2 decades. A young twelve-year old child came to America from India along with her two siblings, mother, and father in the 1980s.

In “Sanctuary”, by Nella Larsen, the author suggests that people may have a bias because of past experiences and that bias will often decide how they will act. The reader identifies this theme through the description of the setting. When Larsen describes the location of Miss Poole’s house, she uses diction such as “forsaken” and “ruined” to emphasize how blacks were viewed. The word “ruined” has a negative connotation, showing that this place will never be the same because a black woman lives there. From this the reader can infer that her house seems “lonely” because she is a black woman, and whites would prefer to pass a “new highway”. Which would be pleasing to the eye, instead of a black person. Miss Poole’s isolation due to skin color

What is a Sanctuary City? A Sanctuary City is a term used to describe the many jurisdictions that have varying levels of protection for undocumented citizens. There is no formal or legal definition for the status of sanctuary city and it has become a polarizing term in recent years. The tension over this issue has been made even more obvious in light of Donald Trump’s recent executive order which threatens to deny federal funding to jurisdictions that do not completely cooperate with federal immigration enforcement agents.
A sanctuary city is a city in the U.S. that follows particular procedures, whether by law or by action, that protect illegal immigrants. The phrase is most commonly used for cities that do not allow municipal resources or funds to be utilized to further enforce federal immigration policies. Normally, these cities don’t allow municipal employees or the police to look into one’s immigration status. Furthermore, the term “sanctuary city” has no legal meaning. Sanctuary cities emerged in the United States in the 1970s, and cities with growing migrant populations began to adopt policy frameworks to adapt to the changing demographics of their communities.

Safe spaces have gotten plenty of media attention in recent years, commonly being talked about as a way to influence college campuses.

I have also heard about how guest lectures at colleges are affecting the demand for safe spaces, depending on the speaker and their chosen subject, students choose to protest lecturers they find offensive or violating to their personal beliefs. Thus, causing the collective demand for a space free from threatening opposing views. I can understand why students would want safe spaces, but it just seems unnecessary and potentially problematic. My goal is to learn as much as I can about the potential implications of safe
I look at my camera. I notice warm hues first. These hues are in the bright copper trestles that fall upon either side of my shoulders and my rosy cheeks and lips that give my face life. The light from beyond the windows close by cascade and resonate throughout the kitchen and into the alcove I reside in. The dazzling lights that dance down from the chandelier that hangs over my head gives just enough light to soften the wood frame of the glass panes that sit just out of reach. However, as I write this, the sun is quickly retreating behind the trees that once carried beautiful leaves. Soon again, as will the sun’s beaming rays. Now, in the reflection of the window, I see the six lights that give the alcove its personality and illuminate the room with sheer brilliance. Without the brilliance of these bulbs, much detail would go unnoticed- detail that I consider crucial. These details compose who I am. The spunk and aspirations that reside within me would not be alive if it weren’t for these lights. They prove that with what I see in my reflection comes with hidden desires and longings.
The room is dark for there is no light shining through the window next to the drawer like any other day. A folded paper in the bucket is settled next the drawer, that always have been cleaned, but not this time when I looked. I can smell the fresh tea where it is sitting on top of the night stand. I am sitting in a chair next to my parent’s bed with my ill mother laying on top of her bed.
