Introducing APV’s newest columnist

As a long-time columnist for APV, I’m happy to introduce Howard Rosen as our newest contributor. APV will publish select legacy and new current events presentations of Howard's for our APV membership.

Howard has taught 26 Lifelong Learning classes at Frisco Lakes since he and his wife Andrea moved here seven years ago. Many APV members already know Howard from his teaching of the nonpartisan “Current Events” classes.

Please join me in welcoming Howard to APV’s roster of columnists.

APV Proud, Bill Johnston

Sanctuary Cities

Sanctuary cities are U.S. cities that have policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. They aim to reduce local law enforcement involvement in immigration matters, allowing undocumented immigrants to feel safer in reporting crimes and accessing services without fear of deportation. [1] [2]

Key features include:

  • Non-cooperation: Sanctuary cities do not actively assist federal immigration authorities in enforcing immigration laws. [1]

  • Community relations: Proponents argue that these policies foster better relationships between undocumented immigrants and law enforcement. [3]

  • Controversy: Critics claim that sanctuary cities may harbor criminals and create safety concerns for citizens. [3]

Overall, sanctuary cities represent a complex and often debated aspect of immigration policy in the United States. [2] [4]
