Less than an hour after the period began for filing bills for consideration in the 2011 Legislative session, State Rep. Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball), a leader of the newly muscular conservatives in the Legislature, filed an 'Arizona style' measure that would crack down on illegal immigration, 1200 WOAI news reports.The measure would also deny and and all state funds to any community that declares itself a 'sanctuary city' and refuses to aggressively enforce Texas immigration laws. Illegal immigration is of course no joke:
Riddle says her measure is a response to what she says is the escalating violence caused by Mexican and Latin American gangs in Texas.
"It is absolutely out of control with the gang related crime, which is going through the roof, so, yes, we are addressing this, and quite frankly, I am not worried about political correctness," Riddle told 1200 WOAI news.
The measure would be similar to Arizona's controversial SB 1070, in that it would require that local police work with federal immigration officials in determining the legal status of a person who is in their custody.
"If that individual is already being detained, because of another crime, then that officer can inquire as to one's immigration status," Riddle said.
Of course, Democrats want the illegals:
...despite their healthy majority, Democrats like State Rep. Mike Villarreal (D-San Antonio) say they'll fight Riddle's propsoal.Villarreal claims that illegal aliens are good for the economy (and their political campaigns:Good News: US Sen Patty Murray (D-WA) Using ILLEGAL ALIENS To Canvass For Her). Except of course the one committing crimes. Also keep in mind that terrorists are pouring across the border:
Texas isn't the only state. As I posted a while back: Video: More than 20 states seeking Arizona-style immigration law. Since Michigan is now GOP-run, any Republicans in Lansing seen this yet?: 75% of Michiganders
