6. What are "sanctuary cities"? What two opinions are expressed about them in the pair of guest columns on today's Statesman editorial page? What evidence or logical reasoning does each author present to support his view? What viewpoint expressed by each of the M. Scott Beyers cartoons that illustrate each article? After reading the articles, what is your opinion on the subject?
How is this editorial page different than the format we discussed in class on Thursday? If you missed class or don't remember, take a look at the gray box that says "Two Views" for a hint. What do you think of this variation on the traditional editorial page? Good idea or bad idea? Why?
