Bandler, Aaron. “5 Things You Need to Know About 'Sanctuary Cities'.” Daily Wire, The

Daily Wire, 16 Nov. 2016, Web. 5 Oct. 2017, www.dailywire.com/news/10816/5-things-you-

Aaron Bandler is a staff writer for The Daily Wire. He is a graduate from Cal Poly San Luis

Obispo with a Journalism degree and an Economics minor. Bandler writes about the positives

and negatives about sanctuary cities, he is able to show both sides and gives no bias. The

audience can trust Bandler as he is able to use quotes to back up each of his statements. Some

relating to the U.S. Code and others being from word of the President himself. The Daily Wire

may show influence to Bandler due to the political information and articles that it releases daily.

Bandler’s work is very recent, only being published less than a year ago. We can see that little to

no factors have changed as sanctuary cities still exist with their current status. I believe that

Bandler was able to include all his views and evidence on the situation he discusses. Bandler

gives both sides and no personal opinion throughout the article.

 Camarota, Steven A. “The High Cost of Cheap Labor: Illegal Immigration and the

Federal Budget” Washington, DC: Center for Immigration Studies, 2004.

Dr. Steven Camarota serves as the Director of Research for the Center for Immigration Studies

(CIS), a Washington, DC-based research institute that examines the consequences of legal and

illegal immigration in the United States. Camarota talks about how an amnesty may benefit the

United States but at the cost that will be needed if there would be one. Dr. Camarota can be

trusted as he gives data and numbers about what types of costs there is and what has been seen in

the past based off estimates. The Center of Immigration Studies doesn’t show any type of

political influence on Camarota as he doesn’t include any type of person opinion in his journal

article.

Dr. Camarota’s work is somewhat a while ago, going back to 2004. Many factors have changed

since then. The costs of the services related to amnesty input may have changed and increased

since then. However, Camarota’s views may still be relevant as his proposal shows reasons

behind his work and what he claims or says.

Stephen Dinan is the CEO of The Shift Network. He is a graduate of Stanford University with a

degree in Human Biology. Dinan writes about the situations with Democrats and Republicans

and shares both sides that they having, which shows no bias within the article. The reader and

audience can trust Dinan as he quotes and uses other sources in order to back up his own

information. The Washington Times shows no influence with its authors that would change their

views on any situation.

Dinan work is very recent, only being published a little more than a year ago. From this time to

now, we can see that some factors have changed. The presidency has change since then and the

information that Dinan uses seems very current within his article. For the most part, I believe that

there might have been some views left out of Dinan’s work such as why the Democrats and

Republicans think the way they do. However, Dinan was able the include the important factors

that he needed and mentioned.

 Rivera-Batiz, Francisco L. "Illegal Immigrants in the US Economy: A Comparative

Analysis of Mexican and Non-Mexican Undocumented Workers." International Migration:

Trends, Policies, and Economic Impact, 2001.

Francisco L. Rivera-Batiz is the director of program in Economic Policy Management and an

Associate Professor of Economics and Education at Columbia University. Rivera-Batiz talks

about all of the information that is related to illegal immigrants in the U.S. and how they affect

the economy and shows no bias in his journal article. The audience can trust Rivera-Batiz

because Rivera-Batiz is able to give estimations and data that is related to his information and

backed up by other sources. Columbia University shows no influence to its professors that would

change their views.

Rivera-Batiz’s work somewhat a while ago, dating back to March 2001. The information and

factors have change a lot since then. However, Rivera-Batiz’s work still applies to today with

what it tells us about the history of Sanctuary cities and illegal aliens and its significance.

Shear, Michael D., and Julie H. Davis. “Trump Moves to End DACA and Calls on

Congress to Act.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 5 Sept. 2017, Web. 27 Oct.

2017, www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/us/politics/trump-daca-dreamers-immigration.html
Michael D. Shear is a White House correspondent in the Washington bureau, where he covers

President Trump, with a focus on domestic policy, the regulatory state, and life at 1600

Pennsylvania Avenue. Julie H. Davis is also a White House correspondent at The New York

Times. She has covered politics from Washington for 19 years, writing on Congress, three

presidential campaigns, and three presidents. Together, they both talk about the situation between

Trump and the Congress dealing with issues such as ending DACA. Their article makes

nonbiased claims as they go off what President Trump himself has said, including his deportation

plan and his announcements to the Congress. The authors can be trusted as they have both

worked with President Trump.

Their work is very recent, only being published in September, 2017. The subject area is still very

current as Trump is still working with Congress now on these issues. The data and information

being used is current, using President Trump’s words and recent sources to back up their

information. The works of President Trump and the Congress are still ongoing. Shear and Davis’

work shows no personal opinion in their article.

Tramont, Lynn. “Debunking the Myth of ‘Sanctuary Cities’” Community Policing

Policies Protect American Communities. Washington DC: Immigration Policy Center. 2011

Lynn Tramont, the writer, is a deputy director of the nonprofit America’s Voice based in

Washington, D.C. Tramont also worked at the National Immigration Forum for eight years doing

legislative and communications work. Tramont talks about the things that Sanctuary Cities are
seen to have but don’t really confirm, such as law enforcement being able to help illegal

immigrants in sanctuary cities. Tramont shows no bias in her works and can trusted as she talks

about her information with data and other source statements. The Immigration Policy Center

doesn’t should an influence towards Tramont as the scholarly article is a special report that deals

with the issue being talked about.

Tramont’s work is somewhat recent, being created and published in April of 2011. From this

time to now, some factors have changed. The presidency has change since then and the

information that Tramont uses seems very current within her article. For the most part, I believe

Tramont’s report all the necessary information and major key parts that needed to be addressed.

Tramont gives no personal opinion and tells the facts as is.

Villazor, Rose Cuison "Sanctuary Cities" and Local Citizenship”, 37 Fordham Urb. L.J.

573 2010

Rose Cuison Villazor is a Professor of Law and Martin Luther King, Jr. Hall Research Scholar at

UC Davis School of Law. Villazor has also obtained an LL.M from Columbia Law School in

2006 and a J.D. from the American University Washington College of Law in 2000. Villazor

talks about the situations of sanctuary cities and how it affects local citizenship in the United

States. She makes non-biased statements. Her evidence is very relevant to her statements and

Fordham does not to look to be influenced towards her work as it is a scholarly article and it is

mainly focused on the information rather than the points that she is trying to make.
Villazor’s work is somewhat recent. It was published in 2010. The works of the government have

changed since then but the situation with sanctuary cities and local citizenship remains most

similar to how it is being seen and dealt with today. Villazor’s information shows no personal

opinion and explains any claims made with information that shows no bias or one-sided

positions.
