Sam Merulla: Hamilton Sanctuary City Coalition

Hamilton Sanctuary City Coalition: The Hamilton Sanctuary City Coalition brought the idea to councillors last year, and staff studied it. On Monday, a city committee unanimously approved providing services without investigating someones immigration status. The council vote was unanimous too. , according to CBC. Its about sending a signal to those new Canadians to know they re not only welcome here, but they re not going to be targeted, Coun. Sam Merulla said. City council officially approved the concept of Hamilton being a sanctuary city on Wednesday, which means undocumented immigrants can access city services without fear of being questioned on their immigration status. Now immigrants can be sure to get help without fear of their status being revealed, councillors said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
