Sanctuary Cities

Sanctuary cities in the US have limited their cooperation with any Federal immigration laws but that does not mean that they are not having laws at all. They have their own policies and they are doing fine. Some of the Federal immigration laws are so strict that these are somehow challenging the human right principles. Sanctuary cities were supposed to protect its immigrant citizens but the Texas legislature has signed a bill against the policies of Sanctuary cities. Under the law and conditions, this upcoming law is openly threatening the local law enforcement agencies for not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities (Niraj, np). If I was a member of Texas legislature, I would not vote for the bill against the sanctuary cities. However, there are several reasons for it.

The first thing is that it does not seem appropriate for engaging the law enforcement agencies in immigration authority functions and threatening them at the same time. It can build mistrust against the law enforcement agencies among the citizens. Secondly, it is a misconception that crime rates are linked with the immigration. There are so many other reasons for increasing rates of crimes, government should consider them first. However, such laws further increase the insecurities of immigrants and the immigrants who are influenced by criminal activities do not report to the police due to fear (Smith, np). It may be for the safety of the people but it will also make the innocent people silent because of the fear .They will not report the crimes, they witness. Moreover, it is also against the constitutional rights of the citizens that people are detained at public places. Instead of introducing such policies the government should take some measures to minimize the illegal immigration and increase security on the borders. Therefore, sanctuary cities are fine with their own municipal policies and further intervention by the federal government will make things more complex.
