Today, the House Corrections Committee is having a hearing on immigration in Richardson, Texas (it's north of Dallas). Representatives from LULAC, ACLU, and other immigration rights groups will be present to give testimony.
The ACLU of Texas has put out a press release about Rebecca Bernhardt's testimony.
“Immigration enforcement is fundamentally a federal responsibility,” said Ms. Bernhardt. “Proposals that involve state and local officials in federal immigration enforcement lead to potential legal liability and undermine public safety.”
I agree, if people are afraid to call the police and report a crime, what's gonna happen to our communities.
To learn more about the ACLU of Texas go to their website.
The same for LULAC.
I hope the state comes to its senses and keep local law enforcement agencies from enforcing immigration laws, which are a federal matter.
