Sanctuary cities act as safe havens for many undocumented immigrants, but they are being regulated between the various levels of our federated government system. President Donald Trump did not waste any time and as he vowed to crack down on undocumented immigrants living in the United States, he took immediate action as soon as he was in office. As president of the U.S., Trump has executive powers granted by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, therefore he has the authority to execute an order from the executive branch about societal issues. Being that Trump has this power, he did not hesitate to sign an executive order about immigrants. Based on the article, “Sanctuary Fight Viewed as Having Limited Fiscal Impact on Cities” by Keeley

• In this research, the researcher tested the impact of being a Sanctuary city or county on both crime rate and economy. The conclusion is that crime is lower and the economies are stronger in sanctuary counties compared to nonsanctuary counties. The theory that can suggest that a Sanctuary City or County would exhibit lower crime rates than a comparable non-Sanctuary City or County is the theory of deterrence, which is a cost-benefit analysis in economics; according to this theory, when it is more certain to get caught, it will be less likely one commits any form of crime. In this case, when the immigrants are not afraid of being caught in a Sanctuary city or county, they are more likely to report the crimes around them, which increases the

What is a sanctuary city? Sanctuary cities have polices, legal or unspoken, that restrict law enforcement from reporting a person’s immigration status. This policy began with Los Angeles in 1979 and now 30 other urban U.S. cities have enacted similar policies. These “sanctuary” cities have enacted legislation that is in direct violation of federal immigration law, ordinances that prohibit city employees or police officers from inquiring about someone’s immigration status. Furthermore, many more cities have unspoken sanctuary policies of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

While most advocates for sanctuary policies claim that only illegals who do not pose a threat to society are protected from I.C.E., and in turn from deportation, history has shown this is not always the case. While there are approximately 27 states with cities and/or counties classified as “sanctuary,” there are six states considered sanctuaries in their entirety.

Sanctuary cities are extremely beneficial to the economy. According to University of California, Davis economist Giovanni Peri, states with higher populations of undocumented immigrants tend to have skilled workers who make more money and work more hours, resulting in increased productivity (2013). Higher wages lead to more money being put back into the economy because workers have more capital to spend. In addition, higher production rates means lower prices. This profound effect is a result of undocumented workers.

Immigration laws have had an impact on the past, as the Chinese Exclusion Act and the National Origins Act are two out of hundreds of laws that were made to limit immigration. Currently, similar laws and actions are taking place with regards to a wall on the southern border of Mexico, and the exclusion of immigration from Middle East countries. With immigration laws playing a huge part in our present, and an even larger part in our past, future laws and disputes are inevitable, and will continue to be hotly contested in the US. However, immigration laws and the discrimination against immigrants needs to change. Immigrants provide this country with an immeasurable number of benefits, and limiting immigration will only leave the United States at a disadvantage to other countries.
