Deep in the heart of Texas
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday singed a bill that not only allows law enforcement to question the immigration status but this bill will also band sanctuary cites in Texas. This comes after president Trump announced that he would cut billion of dollars from sanctuary cities. The author of Texas governor signs bill banning sanctuary cities shows the drastic change form undocumented people. this is alarming since Texas is such a close state to Mexico. This bill was aimed to create a safe environment to the public and to keep criminals out of Texas. However this is not the way to stop criminal form Texas. This bill could potentially back fire. The reason is that many undocumented who are in Texas witness or are part of a crime, the likelihood of them seeking help from the police would be small. In the article the author gives many examples f how this would not encourage undocumented people to seek help from the police because of fear of being deported. The article also talks about how any law enforcement who chooses not to ask a person who they think is undocumented will be penalized. This could also hurt the law enforcement to decrease its members. For example to be a police officer one of the requirements is to be a U.S citizen, but many citizen who were born here in the United States could have family or parents who are undocumented. This would put the person in a stressful situation for the officer who has to obey the law and if he does not then he will be punished. I agree with the author and believe that the bill violets many rights that the United States has. This bill will not decrease the amount of crime.
