There’s More to the Immigration Campaign Than a Border War
Item: CBS News reported online on March 27, 2017 that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had made “a surprise appearance at the White House press briefing” to urge “sanctuary cities to change their policies, noting that the Department of Justice plans to deny them funding if they do not begin following federal immigration laws.”
As CBS put it: “So-called ‘sanctuary cities’ offer safe harbor to undocumented immigrants who might otherwise be deported by federal law enforcement officials. The United States has more than 140 sanctuary jurisdictions, either cities or counties, including 37 cities.”
Item: A column entitled “Don’t fund an assault on millions of American children” appeared in USA Today for March 28, 2017. It was written by Janet Murguía, president of the National Council of La Raza; she declared that “President Trump’s “immigration agenda — one fitfully symbolized by a yet-to-be-built wall — threatens to tear apart American families while leaving a trail of misery across the United States.”
