By making this argument, people can relate that either their own parents wanted the best for them in school and life, or parents that want their child to be successful in life. This distracts the reader from the fact that not everyone, not representative of their upbringing, will be as successful as to become an attorney. There is a chance that even if they are allowed to stay in a sanctuary city that the individual just might not grow up to be an attorney or the most successful person that they know. That is dependent on the person, not the upbringing or goals set for themselves or set for them by others.

Ting is using the words “innocent victims” to make the people that have been victims seem not at fault and makes them seem more passive. On the other hand, he also uses “high-profile crimes were committed” which draws negative connotation to the topic, which in turn makes it so that the author shows bias against the immigrants and sanctuary cities for the “effects” of having them in society, in the form of an exaggerated article.

There seems to be issues with finding whether or not it is worth it to persecute aliens or fight battles within the country itself. Article 2 however holds the opposite opinion of the state of the sanctuary cities. There is an element of the idea that even when the people don't agree with all that a president or government service does, there should be a respect for the office. People believe that there should be restrictions upon how much funding is given to these cities so that they don't exist anymore since they go against the ideals of the President Tue, 31 Jan 2017 12:55:28 -0500
