Save the Sanctuary Cities

On July 26th, my classmate Angelica Nyoman submitted a post titled: Congress crackdown on Sanctuary Cities. In this post she talks about how punishing cities who protect illegal immigrants will cause more harm than good. As she explains what the government plans to do with this bill, I think that she should have focused more on the harm that will come from this event. From her article I did learn about a bill that I have never heard about before that if passed will most likely impact me and my community. However I think there should have been more examples of what kinds of harm will come from this bill.
I totally agree with her opinion and  I came up with some reasons why this bill should not be passed. The first reason touched my heart, families will be separated. No one wants to ever have to part away from their children or their partner. They came to America for freedom, not to make their living conditions even worse.  Another reason is that it will cause the cities being punished to riot. And in America's past we all know that never ends well. Angelica also mentioned about violating the 4th Amendment when it comes to questioning the illegal immigrants. I believe that this is the most important reason to why this bill should not be passed. It will not fit into the American democracy and will defiantly cause outrage all across Texas.
In conclusion I think that this post brought out awareness of something that will most likely not end well when the bill is passed. I think that this post was very reasonable and organized well. I do however think that when I was reading the post I didn't quite understand what the harms would be. But after some research I began to understand more and am against the bill to be passed. It will make the whole community being punished to suffer.
