This use of rhetoric evokes logos: "if immigrants cause crimes, why should local government protect them?" However, the bias is quite authoritarian and goes against the ideas behind the tenth amendment and general federalism.

It is unconstitutional according to the author to get rid of sanctuary cities. The author's bias is justified considering he himself is undocumented. Tue, 31 Jan 2017 12:53:42 -0500
