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.”

Constitution. New federal laws have buckled down on immigration, however this does not affect sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities do not have to follow the exaggerated immigration laws, due to the tenth amendment. The tenth amendment separates federal and state powers, meaning that the states have jurisdiction in sanctuary cities. Referencing the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, the Amendment prevents the “federal government from coercing state or local governments to use their resources to enforce a federal regulatory program …” Similarly to how the tenth amendment protects sanctuary cities from federal law, it also protects them from the federal government attempting to force sanctuary cities to provide information. For this reason, sanctuary cities keep a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. In addition to the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, sanctuary cities are protected another way. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center assures that, “Congress cannot compel state or local governments to collect immigration status information in order to share it with the federal government.” The “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy refers to the sanctuary cities version of not collecting data. Without collecting data, these cities are never in violation of federal law. There is very limited record keeping done in these cities, which works in tandem with the don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Therefore, the tenth amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects sanctuary cities from the federal government in enforcing federal law, forcing private information from the cities, and protecting the citizens of these cities with a “don’t ask, don’t tell”

Sanctuary Cities first began to popup in the 1980’s, according to Congressional Digest, during a movement lead by local churches to create a sanctuary for people fleeing violence in Central America. “The logic behind sanctuary cities is that encouraging immigrants to work with police without fear of deportation helps authorities improve public safety.” (Congressional Digest pp.13) Despite the idea surrounding the creation of Sanctuary Cities they have become a threat to public safety. Sanctuary Cities have become a dangerous environment for criminals to take advantage of the good intentions of the American people. Sanctuary Cities have released criminals, placed restrictions on law enforcements, and have forced the creation of Kate’s law in order to protect American citizens from illegal immigrants.

In “Sanctuary city districts brace for executive order to withhold funds”... by Angela Pascopella, she writes on how Donald Trump is attempting to stop the funding of these sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are places where Illegal immigrants, immigrants who entered the U. S. without the correct things to enter legally, are protected from the wrath of the government. The immigrants are protected by the county they are in, so that the federal government can’t take them away, because the county government has them under their control. For example, Los Angeles is a sanctuary city. Nearly 4 million of K12 students, or 7 percent of the U.S. come from undocumented families. Los Angeles and other cities like Chicago and New York try and protect

With important issues occurring every hour these days, more questions are being asked with them. One of those issues is Sanctuary Cities. A Sanctuary city is a city in which State and Local government do not follow immigration policy and do not actively seek and deport undocumented immigrants. Some could find that this Local policy hurts all Americans. Some could find this a moral obligation as a citizen of the United States. But by any means this topics has major implications to President Trumps policies and Federalism. And with these cities becoming more mainstream, question are becoming more relevant to other parts of government. There are direct effects on issues like cities health program, fight against opioids, and other local

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

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.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Perhaps these words written on Lady Liberty first inspired the creation of so called “sanctuary cities” in the United States. Sanctuary cities began in the 80’s as a network of churches and religious congregations that provided safe housing for refugees. Today, sanctuary cities have transformed from a small scale network to a larger social movement to fight xenophobia and bring the possibility of a normal life for undocumented people. Lately, the buzzword of “sanctuary cities” is on every politician's lips as Trump makes dramatic threats to cut federal funding from counties that continue this “sanctuary city” practice.
