Argumentative Essay: Anti-Sanctuary City Law

Decent Essays
Sanctuary Cities One of the arguments is that the citizens have technically no say because, the citizens just have a opinion in which they vote on but then the governor will always accept or decline what is done to the state. For instances the new bill that was passed today or on May 7th, 2017, SB4, SB4 is a bill to where it makes illegal immigrants to get deported back to their country. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the State’s sanctuary city bill into law Sunday night during a Facebook Live event from his office. The new law is now the toughest anti-sanctuary city law in the United States and provides for criminal and civil penalties for police chiefs and sheriff’s that refuse to honor immigration detainers.

    “Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation” ~Coretta Scott King. This might be true for some people, but some people might disagree.

Hate speech should be…
