Using one case is doesn't mean it's a widespread problem.   

Honestly, either federal immigration laws are fair and should be enforced, or they are patently unfair and should be changed.   Opposition to federal law should not be taken lightly, or, be a minority opinion

When the writer is concerned that the sanctuary status represents 'us' she may well be mistaken that 'US' agrees with her.   I don't believe that the Eugene City Human Rights commision represents a broad crosseection of the metropolitan area.

If you want the sanctuary status take a vote and include all of the region.   Eugene does not exist in a vacuum, many outside of city limits depend on Eugene services and products.     Denying cooperation with a federal agency should be a very serious move and only taken with a broad consensus.

PS.   I am for immigration reform not 'round them up and ship them out'.   Our country has abused illegal labor for a very long time and should take responsibility for that.
